Good Hunt

[buckknife]

Had a good hunt today with the 36,4 bunnys and 1 quail.The quail was shot at 47 paces,had to lean againts a tree to get a good steady shot.Didnt think id even hit it but i did sum how.Used a thin square patch lubed generously with lard cut from a greasy strip i had tied to my bag.40 gr of 3f has made this gun have a much better reach.Balls were loaded with the thumb and ramrod used to slip it down the bore.Guess them old boys way back when new what they were doin.Think i will follow their path a little deeper into the woods from now on. :thumbsup:

Great shooting! Nothing like fried rabbit and quail

I have to agree with that statement. I have gotten my chin greasy many times on rabbit and quail. Never taken a rabbit with a small caliber though...something else to look forward to.

Yup even a flatlander gets lucky once in awhile.good thing i got sum rabbits,that little quail by its self wouldnt be much of a meal and would have been darn right embarresen to have only it in the bag when i got home.

It was a caplock,but if i had a flinter i would have tryed the shot anyhow,worse i could have done is miss.

Never had quail(none in Northern Mn/Wi)but ate many a rabbit. Memories of Shenandoah Valley Rabbit Casserole and Beer Braised rabbit and marinated hare for hausenpeffer are deliciously dancing in my head as I type this :thumbsup: :redthumb:
