Scott Janowski asked me to go hunting with him and his wife this morning. It was nice weather for it. The rain held off until just as we were finishing up. His two dogs, Lucy and Otis were just great. We Flushed a number of birds, missed a few but took most and ended up with 6 in the bag at the end of the hunt.
Discussion in other threads ask about what are good Pheasant guns. Well, here are two of them. I was shooting a Lefever DS 12g. lightweight and Scott was shooting a straight grip Parker VH 20g.
Along the way, we found a monster buck that had to have been shot last night as it was in good shape. An 11 point that I would estimate at 200 lbs. Shot cleanly through the windpipe. We checked with the land owner to let them know about it. We helped them get it up to the road and they ended up taking it, so it didn't go to waste.
I do not get the chance to get out bird hunting much, so a big thank you to Scott for the invitation!
