LC Smith 10 gauge

[Big D]

Didn't see mirror blinds at Remington. Had a chance to shoot at Nilo in the mid 70's. The duck shooting was really lame. They had trained a bunch of mallards to fly from their pen to the water. You stood with your back to the water, and it didn't matter what you did, or what you were wearing, those birds were making a bee line to the water (and corn) Not very elegant.

Also took my wife's Ranger Arms LH 25-06 .

416 Remington Magnum I opted for that chambering as they made fewer if them and brass was cheaper to get plus it's easy enough to make it from 375 H&H brass and I just happen to have one of them as well ! Gonna go over a cut cornfield today so I think I'll take the wife's LH 25-06 again it has a nice old Redfield 6-18 on top and shooting Nosler 100 grain BT hand loads . Incidently I got my Kerner drilling out last night I might try that one back in the thick spot next time !

We got that old Ithaca almost 35 years ago . It was a now deceased farmers tractor gun and was worn all over . He even had a leather pad on the comb . We sent it to a now deceased gunsmith by the name if Wes Peterson . He rust blued the barrels very nicely and redid the wood as well as put on a then new Pachmayer white line pad . We never fired that gun until about 1-2 years ago . It should do okay for a deer or two I think and maybe some late season dove !

Went out this evening to yet another new spot on the 1300 acre farm . I was back in the woods on a starting to be cut cornfield !

Took along my wife's Ranger Arms LH 25-06 bolt gun loaded with the Nosler 100 BT and a charge of RL-22 .

Doe and two fawms came up behind me at about 19:00 and I shot her at 25 yards . At the crack of the gun she hauled frieght out into the field and fell over !





She ran maybe 30 yards out into the field before she fell over !



















And the jacket I recovered from the Nosler 100 grain Ballistic Tip on the off side just under the hide !











Think i'll carry my 338 Win Mag next time and a drilling !
