 It was a tough hunt. All week we hunted,called,etc to no avail. This evening in a real brushy hole we scored. I did shoot initially with the TC Contender in 45-70 but it wasn't a perfect hit. I finished him off with Dad's 06. I will have more when we bring him home and rest a bit.

Not all plans execute perfectly. First blood with the shortgun. Congrat's.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
