WOW!!! Pretty gal with cool name and a gigantic buck. I recall you are in Georgia and didn't realise you had really big bucks there. I live in Alberta where we supposedly have big bucks but I've never seen on this big. Congratulations. My oldest grandson, Jackson, took his fiancee Ansley hunting on my land early this morning. Pretty good morning, eh?

I suppose I should edit my post to reflect that my son wants to take his first pointed grouse with his grandfather’s A5, a gun that is NOT a double, but, is very meaningful and of family historical significance to my son. He knows, through me, that it was Dad’s favorite, but, he only knows about my Dad from what I and others tell him. My Dad died when Chris was three.
I was hunting with a double that day, a Darne V19 20 gauge. I didn’t fire a shot, just followed along and worked the dog, attempting to get the boy onto a grouse for a milestone for him. He had several chances, but, the grouse were the victors on that day. I told him that is why we call it hunting and not killing.
Chris got points with the guy who owns that little piece of heaven, a coworker from the U, his gun is a Browning A5 light 20. They are thick as thieves since the trip.
Best, Ted

Some beautiful guns and great pictures in this thread. My season just opened less than two weeks ago and these are the only photos I have taken so far. The guns are both twenties. Hardware store grade stuff but they have gotten the job done.

I’ve never seen that many Snipe in one spot. Only singles, here and there, while hunting other birds.
Good shooting, by the way.
Best, Ted

Good to see you're back in the flooded flats chasing the snipe again, Skip. I always enjoy your pics.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Thank you Ted. I always end up with enough Snipe in this area to keep me occupied for a couple of months.
Thank you Stan. The Redfish and Bass have kept me busy for the last eight and a half months but when the Glorious 1st rolls back around each November I can usually be found out in that godforsaken marsh with the Cottonmouths and gators.

Snipe Hunter, Your description of Cottonmouths and gators gives new meaning to "hunting hard"! Karl
