Got my first percussion Kill.

[alaskasmoker]

Well after logging on some serious miles today I finally was able to get a bead on a rabbit. This was also the first time I ever fired this gun too.
I might of over did it with the charge 70 grains of powder and shot, but I guess it did the trick. Distance was about 25 yards through some really thick scrub. I could just barely make out the outline.

Congratulations! You'll never view a modern arm the same way again... :hatsoff:

:v When you said "Percussion" I was afraid you had used a drum. :haha:
Lucky you, as you have rabbits that are fit/safe to eat. Good way to spend the day, fresh air, no crowd, and something good to eat. What a way to play! :v

Looks like you got him by a hare :rotf:

 

[Rocky Johnson]

It looks like a hare not a rabbit to me. Whatever..
Nice job Alaska

NICE! :thumbsup:

 

[alaskasmoker]

yes its a hare, we just callem rabbits up here. Sometimes I try to call them hares but change my mind about it cause then I sound like I'm new to Alaska.

Weird isnt it? Newbie Alaskans call them Hares, old-timers call them rabbits. And dont let them baby cheeks fool ya, Ive been up here for 30 years.:rotf:

Forgot about the rifle details! its a 12 guage pedersoli

 

[Britsmoothy]

Good ain't it. Well done. That hare looks like our Scotish mountain hare or blue hare as we call them. I always think they are better eating than the bigger brown hare :hatsoff:

 

[akhawkeye]

Ah, heck, Alaska... I just call 'em bunnies... or good eatin' :grin:

 

[WV MZL HUNTER]

Rabbit / hare who cares he is still good eaten.
I hope to get up your way sometime. GREAT PLACE.
Keep sending Pictures. :thumbsup:

 

[Mountainman56]

:thumbsup: Nicely done. Nice weapon also. Your spoiled now for sure. Your modern rifles are going to rust in the closet.

 

[Mulebrain]

You done good, and also with the first blast out of the barrel :thumbsup:

Boy, I sure miss all the rabbit hunting I used to do!

 

[KyFlintlock]

Way to go, now fire up the skillet.

Great Job you are now hooked for life. There is nothing better than hunting with a smoke pole.
