Default 20 Gauge Lifter Preserve Hunt

I got in a quick trip in to Markover hunting preserve this morning in Connecticut. I haven’t done much shooting or hunting this year so far. I was nice to get out, especially with my new to me 20 gauge lifter. My dog Violet and I had a wonderful morning, which we both needed…

I was using 3/4oz. hand loads with a roll crimp and #6 shot. I have been loading up for this gun for both sporting clays and hunting. I was nice to take the 1879 Parker in the field today.

Jay, I love the photo with Violet peeking over your shoulder. What a nice day.

Sweet. Jay at Vegas the Bookies have you as the odds on favorite for the only fella in the US that shot a Rooster today with a Parker 20 Lifter. You're in seriously thin air. Double congrats
