It's definitely time

[Richard Flanders]

So, to post this in here or in the "hunting with Parkers" forum section. Tough question. It's been a long and very cold winter here and the daily trip to the outhouse has taken it's toll and the resultant "xxxxsicle" has grown to monumental proportions, threatening an Atilla the Hun style impalement if not dealt with promptly. Well, today was the day. A cldy grey snowy morning of just -10deg; tomorrow would be tougher as it's supposed to be -40 tonight. I prepared for this weeks ago by loading up a couple of the 10ga bismuth shells that I had been cutting open for the shot with nine 00-buck pellets each. Seemed an appropriate load considering the adversary. Turns out I was right as it took both barrels to 'getterdone'. Hard to get the camera and the shots timed just right but this is how it went for the great sicle hunt of 2012. Used my 1886 grade-2 hammer gun for the deed.

Can't tell for sure, hope you had safety glasses on...

[John Liles]

Wow, Talk about your Preserve Hunt! I'll bet they don't take flight no matter how hard you kick'em. They just lay there...lookin up at you...with their cute brown eyes. Better hope PETA don't find out! And there you'll be, on television, with your FUR hat on and everything!

Would seem to give new meaning to the phrase,
"Pull", !Bang! "Shit".

When my wife begins to complain about cleaning the bathrooms, I'll show her that picture to remind her of how lucky she is.

[Joe Dreisch]

I allways thought "shootin' the sh!t meant something else!!!! I have tears in my eyes!

[Richard Flanders]

I tell you there's more than one way to get sxxt-faced in this world ! You'll have to trust me on that one....

[Dave Suponski]

That could give the phrase "Sxxthouse" a whole new meaning...huh Rich...:rotf:

[Gerald McPherson]

Have you all noticed that in his little picture he also is a chicken hunter? My neighbor has 80 thousand just like those.:whistle::shock:

[Rich Anderson]

Rich your a true conservationist and a keeper of the enviroment by using non toxic shot for the s$%t. What's the limit on those?

[Richard Flanders]

Sorry Rich, but I loaded good old pure lead 00 buck for this hunt. Way too dangerous an adversary to experiment with non-tox. If it stays as cold as they say it will I'll be having to load up a couple of more and have another go at it. It's in the high -50's up north right now and headed this way.

Gerald,

Rich will tell us if I'm wrong, but I believe those are ptarmigan in his small photo.
