Not a total disaster!

[Britsmoothy]

Not burning black for a week or two is to long.
However it was raining and very damp out but undeterred I proceeded. Proceeded to miss every pheasant and have miss fires and get fizzes in the pan!

Jess was a star, she hunted good but I and the gun failed her.
The only consolation was a squirrel.
I saw a good deal of life today and it was great, even had a peregrine swoop in front of me!

On the way back I got a wood pigeon and reloaded, I will see what tomorrow brings.

The picture.

Just a question - Why the face-mask?

I find I can sneak up on stuff alot better than with a huge white face! Obvious really.
Sometimes I will sit and wait. Having my face covered helps to be unnoticed.

Most people remove their facemasks when taking a picture. I was uncertain whether it was a way to protect your identity (knowing the repressive and ridiculous firearm laws in your country), though I'd seen other pictures of you with similar game without a facemask.

So no, not obvious really... :wink:

If I wanted to hide my identity, I would not be in any photographs, face covered or not.

We may have strict firearms laws but nothing beats the states for hunting laws in my opinion and California! Well, let's no go there hey!

Hey, if I wish to be photographed with a mask or with out, it is my privilege and be it for hunting or as you suggest, it is still my privilege.
Many Americans use masks when hunting too, is it because they are poaching?

I bet that gun handles like a dream in the woods. Have a half stock fowler that is very similar, and it is a pleasure to carry around.

Thanks for sharing your stories.
