Nice shooting. :thumbsup:

 

[Spikebuck]

Good shooting! :hatsoff: That seems like a small load especially at 25 yards.

Congrats! Great shooting!

.45" smooth rifle, 5/8oz gets noticeable to shoot with equal powder (or a shade less).

Nice bird and nice shooting. Now all you have to do is "hang it on the wall" for 3 weeks in good British fashion and then have a feast......have seen many pics of game birds "hanging" in Britain.

Is a "gut hook" ever used in your area? On an extended hunt, it might come in handy? Again...nice shooting.....Fred

No three week hanging here sir. Plucked n' drawn today! It will sit in the cooler until Sunday. Never used a gut hook no.
Thanks.

Hey Britt,
What's that hanging from your trigger guard?

 

[jamesthomas]

I think you hung it up by the tail feathers and when the bird fell off of them it was time to eat it :idunno: . Btw, that is a beautiful bird! and ought to make a nice dinner!.

It is a piece of leather used to seal the nipple and or a make shift safety.

I read about Brits doing that so I tried it with a brace of ducks .... :barf: I'll never make that mistake again. :shake:

 

[Britsmoothy]

All done and in the cooler. Also a bonus, recovered three shot pellets to return to the shot bag :thumbsup:

Good going Nath. I wish we had pheasant around where I live. They just look like they would taste mighty good. I have eaten some farm raised pheasant but never the wild ones. Enjoy.

I made one similar, but it is also a 5 shot leather capper
Thanks for the reply.

Here in SW Pennsylvania we had some of the best pheasant hunting in the Country when I was a lad.
The hedgerows are all gone, and so are the pheasants. Insecticides and weed killers.

Enjoy that bird, Brit.
