The DH liked the new to me solid base slug in the left barrel well enough but the right barrel although keeping them together threw them a bit to far right . This was 29.6 grains SR7625 SP-10 was with petals removed , two 16 gauge 1/8 card wads on top the SP wad base .

I would love to go on a old fashioned deer drive down here and do a Parker Pages article on it. They are becoming fewer and fewer though. A local plantation put on a charity drive every year, but then somebody got shot (not fatal) and they discontinued it on liability reasons. It was too bad.

Well if you find one preferably around Archibald Rutledge’s stomping grounds and you can get another person or three in please let me know I’d love to plunk one in that area with my own handloaded buckshot .

Mills, just finished re-reading Rutledge's book for the third or fourth time. Looked up Hampton plantation on Google earth and found it and that it has been preserved as a park. A friend went to Virginia this year and hunted with a group with a large lease and a good pack. He enjoyed it but technology has changed every thing, think GPS collars on the dogs and reading them from the pick up and using it to get to the stands.

Actually, the house and 300 acres are a state park. The Rutledge family still owns 1,000 or so acres of the property. I think they still use it for hunting

I’ve never been a big hunter of deer with dogs . Nothing wrong with it , I just never was around it . I wouldn’t mind experiencing it once or twice however . The state of affairs in the Old Dominion for the deer hunters that use deer dogs isn’t the best . There has seemed to be a constant turmoil . And if I’m not mistaken the dog hunters in North Carolina are starting to have the same issues .

South Carolina has the same issues. It is a dying tradition for several reasons.
