Default Christmas....

Spent some time down south after Christmas. The hunting was atrocious but I did manage one good shoot.

Excellent pic, Destry. What gun and loads were you shooting? And, how far "down South"?

I was shooting my big 34 inch 12 gauge though I wish I'd had the 10 bore as some of the shots were a little long. Kent 1 3/8 ounce of #3 Tungsten Polymer was the shell of choice.

Two days in Arkansas, never firing a shot, two days in Missouri with only this one little goose shoot to show for it. I finally gave up and came home.

I made the best shot on a duck of my entire hunting career with Destry's 34" gun. What a sweet gun that is!
