Congratulations, and thanks for the pictures. Did you have to make two trips out to carry each "trophy?"

Garry, you are absolutely right about thinking on making two trips. I thought about it but decided to grunt it out and carry the 12 1/2 pound gun in one hand and the 17 pound bird in the other. Lucky the walk was only a quarter mile to the ATV.

I believe I’d have gone and gotten the ATV then ride it back to pickup the gun and bird . But I’m lazy like that LOL’s

Well, you got your weight lifting and cardio workouts covered!

All jokes aside if I’m somewhere chasing brown cloven hooved rats I park the ATV within 100 yards and dread carrying my 8 a rifle and my pack .
