After getting a few barbs from the Smith crowd yesterday at the LC Smith shoot at Lehigh Valley Sport Clays, I'm trying to pay them back! BTW, there were quite a few Parkers being used.

All kidding aside, it's all in good fun and they are a great group of guys!

Got number 19 today using my Ithaca NID 10 gauge .







Shot this bad boy twice !

The first shot he was coming directly towards me and about 20 yards I let him have it with a load of handloaded #3 Buck seems to me I was putting 25 pellets in each shell . For the second shot he had turned broadside and I popped him this time with a load of handloaded 000 Buck , there are 8 pellets in these I believe .

He made it about 30-40 yards from the second shot back into some rather nasty stuff .

I was hunting with some friends in a county I'd never killed a deer before . We were doing man drives .

Plan to end off the season next saturday with them same as I did last year .

Well that makes all three of my shootable 10 gauge guns "blooded" !



Now I'll start of the 12's I think !

New Years Day 2014 and I got number 20 for the year !

Shot what I thought was a doe at 17:20 at about 32 yards with the Remington 700 6.5-06 with a Berger 130 VLD Hunting Match bullet pushed with 53 grains of RL-22 . At the moment my record with the pair of 6.5-06's I've owned is 6 shots and 6 deer !





This deer makes me equal the best season "number wise" I ever had !

Perhaps with three days left I can reach a new high number .

I got a little news today I find a bit disturbing !

The two powders I generally load the majority of my shotgun shells with will be phased out by Hogdon this year !

Seems they will stop producing PB , SR4756 , SR4759 and SR7625 !

I use SR7625 for darn near all of my loads and from time to time SR4756 .

I suppose I need to get a couple 8 pounders of SR7625 before the supply gets scooped up .
