I did enjoy reading that. He's right about the difficulties. |

I laughed out loud when I read that he took a 10 gauge up with him and a whole box of 3 1/2 inch copper plated 6's to try to add some distance to his effective shooting range.
He must have really hated to come back empty handed! |

Actually I am considering taking the old Parker short 10 with 1 1/2 oz. buffered 4's. At nearly 9 lbs. I'm not sure the novelty is worth it! If I had a 7 lb. 10 gauge, I would use it. The thought of #7 TSS for my 16 is a very serious consideration since you only fire a few shots on a hunt like this. Of course I fired three rounds early on (2nd and 3rd day of season) that simply missed their mark... |
