Default Pheasants with grandson



Hunt Report written to hunting buddy:
Morning Joe,
Troupe and I shot a few clays before lunch to prep for the birds. I was shooting my Parker 20 left handed/left eyed and noticed that I was close all the time, but usually just clipped or missed the clay and powdered only one .
Same story in the field early on, but fortunately Troupe was shooting well and killed those I just winged. He shoots his 12 ga Orion even better than the 20 ga Orion that he out grew. I did OK on straight- aways but was not leading passing birds until well into the hunt. I finally focused on the lead and dropped a right to left bird with a head shot and it felt great. So, for now, I will shoot clays and birds left handed unless my right eye clears up.
I hammered a couple of birds with the last two of those B&P long range #5s you gave me and will be buying more of them as they make my 20 gauge deadly out to 50 yards and beyond.  That would have been handy on the one wild flush we had; that rooster took off before the dogs were within 15 yards of it and maybe it saw or heard us coming.

The field cocker in the picture is a young dog being trained to flush and looked like a show dog when he came out of the box, so I included him in the pic because Marty showed cockers at one time.

So, if you and Richard stay here overnight enroute to the bear hunt, we will plan to have pheasants for dinner and feral hog sausage for breakfast!

Charles congrats I went to Charleston SC where my grandson lives and my wife and I took him to Backwoods Quail club where we shot 2 days of quail we had a blast and he finally got to shoot his 16 ga GH after 1 1/2 year not being able to shoot. He comes to Tx in 10 days to go after turkeys in S Tx with Grandpa. Can't wait he will shoot my 30" DHE 20 ga. Patterns great with 6's. I'm shoot 1884 Grade 3 10 ga hammer with RST 4's. Best to you David

Thanks David and best wishes for a good turkey season.
Troupe and I will be hunting turkey the 24 and 25 of this month and hope to get a couple of gobblers. He has been very successful with gobblers so far with a .410 and the 20 ga Orion, so he should get one with his 12 ga.

His first of three turkeys with a .410:



Then we have a feral hog hunt at the Boars Nest March 31.

Your post makes me smile ear to ear, hunt with grandson and granddaughter and never enjoyed it so much. Their success is so much better than your own. Thanks for the post and keep them coming.

Take them hunting when they're young, and they'll take you hunting when you're old.
