Leaving for Arizona.....
Leaving tomorrow for Arizona to spend a few days with Phil Carr. I've got three sandhill crane permits to hopefully fill plus we're going to give the doves and quail a try as well.
Phil was out this past weekend and had his three birds in a couple hours so I'm hoping for great things. He was shooting his Parker DH 10 gauge with some slick Winchester 2 7/8 #2 paper shells I'd sent him. Lead is legal for cranes in AZ by the way.
I'm going to take "The Preacher" my #3 frame 10 gauge GH magnum and some 3 1/2 inch Federal 2 ounces of #2 shot. Hopefully the sermon it gives will be as deadly as in times past.
If I shoot just one crane it will be well worth the trip as I've never had the opportunity before. Reports to follow.....
Destry
