Took a Walk

[swinehart]

Took a walk this morning to check out some deer stands and to look for some scrapes.
Brought the shotgun along just in case there might be a bird or two. Gun has been loaded since spring turkey season.
Only saw 4 birds and only got one shot.
Have been bow hunting to try to get some meat but this trip this morning was a great change.

Just pulled my camper up to the hunting land east of exeland,looks like the bucks should be in full rut in a couple of weeks and a few grouse are still around should be a good fall.

Thanks for liking my pic. I am playing around with trying to get some good pictures and posting them.

I used 85 grains of FF with the same volume of 6 shot. Played around with using a paper tube inside a plastic shot cup over an over the powder wad. Topped this with two over the shot wads cut out of a tablet cardboard. Patterned nice out to about 25 yards. Got one turkey a couple of years ago with this load.

That is one excelent picture.
What brand of shot gun is that?

I tried to buy a Navy Arms 12ga magnum precussion kit when I was a lot younger.
I had the money went to 4 Flags and they had raised the price $20.00
I saved up the $20.00 and they had raised the price $30.00 more.
I asked the owner if he would sell me the BP gun for the earlyer price.
It was all the money I had he said no.
I never did get a BP shotgun.
