Russ when there in the trees and a little far out for the 16 a 55gr Ballistic Tip from a 22/250 will really put them through the shredder.

Rich ,I have a good Friend / Gunsmith ,that just built a Thumb Hole Custom 243 for me from a Model 98 Mauser Base ,the gun will cut the same hole all day long off the bench , even with me shooting it ,but with my Rifle shooting skills ,I am sorry to say ,that old Crow with me shooting off hand is a lot safer sitting in that tree ,than when he is flying if I have one of those old Parker guns in my hands , the trick is to get the rascals close enough to ya! In this case ,I guess you might say I was " Hunting Over Bait " .

Angel ,Sounds to me like you are anxiously awaiting Oct. ,I know I am and I have no hunts booked ,just the usual outings ! I don't know if you have done much Quail hunting ,I never have ,I was invited on a Preserve hunt years ago for Quail and Pheasant ,The Phes. were simple enough but my first encounter with Gentleman Bob ,was a little different ! After shooting up close to a box of 16 Ga. shells out of my old Trojan ,and having not one Bob to show for it and enough ribbing to last a life time ,one of my hunting cronies that carried a 16 Ga. Sterlingworth and seemed to be able to hit anything that flew ,ask about my chokes and I said Full and Fuller ,he handed me a handful of Spreader loads and things changed quickly ! Just a suggestion ,but if I were going on a Booked Quail hunt ,I would stock up with some Spreader Loads ,those little birds fly like little bullets ! Have fun ! We will all be waiting for stories and pictures ! Russ

Russ, it's gonna be my first time and I can't wait. I've been reading the hunting stories you guys put up and I've been taking notes. I got me a flat of spreader shot from Poly Wad. I also have tight chokes on my 16 ga.
