Took the big guns out today
4 Attachment(s)
My oldest brother and I took out some of my big doubles this morning, just wanted to walk around the property and see if anything was moving. I was mostly curious to see if we could find a hog or even a raccoon would have sufficed. I carried the 8 gauge and he took the grade 2 10 ga normally he is not interested in old doubles like I am, however since he shot the Parker he always asks to carry it when we go. I walked around for about 3hrs this morning carry almost 15lbs of 8 gauge and I have to say for me its more comfortable to carry than my hunting rifle. We didnt get anything but for us we enjoy just being out in the woods especially when carrying a sxs. It was pretty cold for our area this morning 36F and 90% humidity, I am pretty sure when its cold the humidity makes it colder and when its hot the humidity makes it hotter.

Few more pics of the Grade 2 10 ga, my brother said he was surprised how long he could carry it and still not notice the weight compared to other guns. I told him its because when a double is properly balanced its easy to forget about the weight. Its not particularly heavy I want to say it letters around 9.5lbs which I suppose is heavy by most standards. I honestly thought it was a 16 ga the first time I picked it up because it feels so petite.

So, Milton, were your photos taken in "portrait mode?" The softening of the background suggests it. Those are nice photos. I don't recall the weight of your grade 2 gun(?) (Have you tried calling predators to your guns?)

Looks like turkey land to me. Turkeys are just about anywhere you look here in Tennessee.

nice hunting area them guns looked great in the field...I hunted coons for many years and the biggest I ever caught was 19 1/2 lbs I have seen coons in the nortyerb states that would have been 30 lb s or better...I was at ft. drum new York years ago them coons ran in packs seen as nigh as 20 at one time.....them 8 s ant bad to tote I think its because we look at them so much we don't know were tired...charlie
