Been hauling my Ithaca NID 10 gauge along everyday loaded with #3 Buck in the right barrel and 000 in the left barrel . Matter of fact had it up the tree this evening when I shot that little three pointer .

Planning on going out around 6 AM in the morning and taking my little circa 1960-1965 Mannlicher Schoenauer 243 loaded with some handloaded no longer made Speer 105 grain Spitzers and of course the Ithaca 10 gauge !

Can't stay anylonger then 9AM as I need to be at the local airport at 10:15 to take a flight to Altoona PA to pick up reloading supplies for our shop and a friends shop as well as the guy flying the plane !

Hopefully I'll be back and finished in time to get out tommorrow afternoon around 3PM !

I'm still shooting for 21 deer this year but I inly have 8 more days to giterdunn !

Got my Parker 12 gauge VHE barrels back today from Giacamo . Perhaps I will take that for the last day hunt with my friends in the next county over !

Seems to me that 12 gauge Parker liked my handloaded 0 Buck loads fairly well !

nothing like taking a deer with the shotgun...how many no 3 buck do you put in the 10 ga hull....charlie

Gonna hunt tommorrow with the same guys I hunted the last day last year . Think I'll hunt next saturday with these fellows also !

Taking the Ithaca NID 10 gauge with #3 and 000 handloads . I'll also take the 6.5-06 to stand hunt first thing in the morning .

Good observation Chuck.

Yeah, this thread seems to have taken on a life of it's own.... :corn:

Your note is kinder than the one I contemplated posting, and finally decided not to start a fight

After getting a few barbs from the Smith crowd yesterday at the LC Smith shoot at Lehigh Valley Sport Clays, I'm trying to pay them back! BTW, there were quite a few Parkers being used.

All kidding aside, it's all in good fun and they are a great group of guys!

By all means let me have your worst !

And yes I most likely would want to fight :dh:
