I have been a bird hunter for most of my adult life. So it was a surprise when my oldest son asked me to take him deer hunting. We chose a short range unit that both sexes were open in to better his chances. Opening morning we found him a doe that stopped at 68 yards. She went down on the first shot and was in the cooler by noon.
My youngest son got his first side by side for Christmas. First bird he shoots with it is a Melanistic Pheasant. Pretty awesome day!#sitkagear #federalammunition #cabelas
I was the 2nd generation in a 3 generation pheasant hunt this morning. While they aren't wild birds, it was still a blast. Ended up with 2 melanistics today. Which was new for us.
