Neither is it a black gun forum.
O.M

Had a great snow goose hunt in western WA, with five of us taking our four bird limits in half an hour. Birds were very close. I took a couple with my Husqvarna 12 mod. 50 and a couple with my damascus Husky mod. 44 16 using 7/8oz ITX #4's:

Hi all, this post will have a few pics on it, as it covers this past weekend (Friday - Sunday). Anyway, Friday noon was our Deer gun opener. It was a very warm one, 70, both Friday and Saturday. My son Jim and daughter Liz were the only two who drew tags, I didn't draw one, first time in many, many moons. So, I did some bird hunting while the kids hunted deer. Tough deer hunting, but the bird hunting was very good. I was able to limit each day, except Sunday. Sunday was windy, 20mph, so tough for birds and deer. So, here are the pics:

My hunting partners, my son Jim and daughter Liz:



Jim managed to fill his tag on Opening day at 10 minutes before ending time. He used his Browning A-Bolt in .25WSSM:



Friday's bird limit. I used my 12b F.A. Anderson the entire weekend:



Saturday's bag and yours truly:





Sunday, I did get one more but lost him, a shame:



Anyway, still have to fill Liz's tag, wonder if I'll try for birds again?

Best,

Greg

Love that camo job Mark. Classic!!!

I am sorry to wander so far off topic, but my daughter killed her first whitetail this past weekend, and I can't help but share. She was using a crossbow since the report and recoil of a rifle still bothers her a little (she is only 9). She made a great shot at 25 yards and the recovery was only about 60 yards.
I deserve any derision you want to give me about allowing her to shoot such a little doe. While I would have much rather she shot a larger deer she got a perfect opportunity and she took it.

Yeee Hawww
Thank you for sharing
These are the BEST of Times

Started my season in South Dakota,near Huron and Hitchcock, good numbers of birds. Hunted with my Fox CE and Parker 16ga GHE

Then traded the Fox for a Fly Rod and did some Steelhead fishing in South Sandy Creek in NY

After fishing traded the Fly Rod for the Super Fox and have had some great duck hunts on my marsh in Central NY.

No derision from me, Hoof. Congratulations to her........ and Dad1

Taken on the Thursday after I took my Maine Moose on Tuesday. Took an entire day (Wed.) to get it to the DEC and the processor so we figured we'd have an few days to hunt grouse.

Little did we realize there are no grouse in Maine. Rather, they have an upland game-bird that looks remarkably similar to ruffed grouse except it doesn't fly. They call them "Pahtridge" and must shoot them on the ground. So when in Rome...








Tasty little things, next time will leave the 2" 12ga, Hellis at home and bring the Savage 24 .22/20gauge with me...if I ever draw a second moose tag...

No derision from me! Your post is what this annual thread is about as far as I am concerned. Congratulations to your daughter and to you for raising her! Besides her doe will eat better than anything else you see some one bragging about here...Geo
