Dad and i went out today to hunt up some pheasant over his dog, my namesake , "sarge" (born while i was overseas).
It was a heavy flake snowstorm, making it fun to try and keep the flintlock operating once it got dirty, but it performed well, with only one flash in the pan that was my fault for letting the touch hole take a snowflake and then not picking the main charge.
we had a lot of fun, i dropped one clean, and might have touched another that dad also shot at, and our total for the day was four.





pheasant, butternut squash and garlic and herb pasta



When the springer has sprung,
all needs being done,

back with the cock,
to throw the sharp rock,

into the frizzen,
to the bird that has risen,

so it may grace my plate,
like our ancestors ate.
 
That sounds like a great day afield AM, congratulations!



(I hunted them on the farm in the Adirondacks when I was a boy but have lived down south since the 60's and haven't seen one since, LOL)
 
What a great post! Nice pics (including dog), good lookin' food, and a really nice poem.

Great to spend time hunting with your Dad. Enjoy the time. Mine is going on 91 now and even though he's in good shape for his age and hunted up until age 87, his time in the field is over now.
