...strikes again.
Well to be honest, I missed a few shots but it wasn't the guns fault.
In the end though we came home with a good bird.

Big Ted the 10g is still fowled (fouled 🤦) but kept nice and dry.
Today he saw day light again.
I missed a rushed shot at a rising rooster in timber but the second barrel got a nice crossing and going away hen.
Absolutely love this big double.
Only loaded about 70gn of very fine powder and loaded 1.25 Oz.

Chinese pheasants are one of the few imports from China I approve of. I grew up near the area in Oregon where they were introduced. There were a lot of them around in the 1950's and '60's and few of the farms were posted so we had a lot of fun hunting ringnecks. Then, in the late 60's and 70's farmers started to get rid of the fence rows and drainage ditches to provide more cropland and at the same time people from further south moved in and converted the grain fields to vineyards and posting the land. That got rid of both the pheasants and the native quail on the west side of the mountains. Here's a link I found about the history of the Chinese pheasants in America.
