Down In Texas for a few days.....
 

The Swamp Angel has been getting some work.

Enjoy your ribeyes from the sky.

looks like the swamp angel did a good job for you....i bet the big ten is jelous.....what kind of loads were you useing.....charlie

I was going to take the 10 gauge but there was a chance we were going to layout hunt. That 10 bore is a blind or boat gun, it's just too heavy to pull up when you're laid flat on the ground. I shot my Super Fox the first day so I could use 3 inch shells but didnt really need them. In the Fox I was running XX Winchester 1 7/8 ounce copper plated BB, for the Parker I had 1 1/2 ounce Federal Premium BB. Lead is still legal for cranes down here. I killed the goose later in the morning at another spot, shot Kent TM #3 for it.

I used 2 3/4 Kent Bismuth this weekend and it is plenty strong.

Very nice. Would love to hear how those sandhill cranes taste. Certainly on my bucket list.

Big birds, big gun, big fun!!
