Thanks everyone, yes it was a good hunt. Actually after taking the pic I decided to get the bird mounted. He's in my freezer now with piece of wood taped onto the plastic wrap to keep the tail feathers from getting broken.
Someone asked me privately about the Peters Victor shell. I have several boxes with 6-shot and also some Federal High Brass with 4's. Both roll crimped in 2-9/16" length. They've been stored in an army 50 cal ammo can since about 1984. Both are still sure fire and pattern well. Kind of neat to hunt with them and take a step back to my youth.
