forgot to add i m gona use a 16 ga myself tomorrow its a single shot long tom 36 inch barrel...charlie

Made it out again today. Charlie caught a small rooster and Charlie and Kyra flushed a hen and a rooster. The 16 folded the rooster dead in the air. A nice left to right crossing shot. Our limit has been reduced to 2 bird limit, so that was the day. Decent dry day so now it is time to do some cookin'. Cheers, Jack

well sounds like youre shooting the 16 better jack.. i took the 16 ga long tom today i only saw 3 squirls i shot at all 3 and never touched a hair..good thing i did not have to clean them.ha... it was cold this morning about 49 degrees the squirls were not stirring.this evening the wind was really blowing so i did not go..we had a good squirl cookout at dinner i really enjoyed it all told i think the fellows brought in 57 squirls and skinned and cooked them...a good day i had..charlie

shot the 16 ga at the can this evening at 70 yards i was surprized not a shot in the can.then i shot the 10 ga remington with no 4 s only put 2 shot in the can with it...any way i aint given up on that 16 yet gona get me a 30 inch cardboard circle and try it at 40 yards in a few days..charlie

16 GH saw another day afield. First opportunity needed second barrel. Next opportunity I didn't think I connected. Went to where I thought we might flush it again. Charlie and Kyra disappeared into the tall grass. Kyra came out and she and I continued along the edge of the crop land. After a few minutes I was starting to wonder where Charlie was. I turned around to see her trotting up to us carrying the rooster. Gotta love dogs.

jack with out charlie you would have lost that bird..i gots quit working on this wore out 4 wheeler and go hunting..found any rusty iron lately...charlie

Yes, Charlie has helped me a lot with finding, flushing and retrieving. So has little Kyra. As for rusty iron, my new brother-in-law is working on a 32 Ford. When I was out for roosters, picked up a very large double box end wrench in a grain field - very well rusted old iron. I'm also looking at a rusty 1920's era Durant that could be restoreable - just don't know if I want to get into it but.... might be a long winter and that could be a reasonable past time.

Cheers,
Jack

the 32 fords are my favorite cars and that durant is not seen to often...charlie
