Shot a bunch again yesterday morning, bit of sun as we have had weeks of rain wind and gloom. Used my favourite load of one ounce shot at 1300 fps. Not many flew off unscathed as conditions were great. Had a coyote bark at me most of the morning from 300 yards distant...things one sees when you don't have a varmint rifle!  Evidently he is the clean up brigade as all the dead from previous hunts disappear. Crows were being shot with muddy feel as feeding on black agricultural fields.

I think we had a bobcat running clean up on one of the more productive blinds on our farm. We had two good shoots early in the year and both times after we came back there would be a couple that had been drug up in the tree and eaten. I would have guessed coon or possum but where this blind was i really dont see one of them having a reason to be that far out from where we normally see them.

No foot was fine but terrible photo as I only had my phone. Just I was starting to get crows with muddy feet, Gumbo we call it. Evidence they were feeing on muddy fields as all is very wet here. Just like shooting mallards in the marsh and finding them with muddy feet...usually goes along with crops stuffed full of barley, corn, peas or the like.

If you are shooting that load in a 16ga Model 12 it brings with it some stiff recoil, 23.7 ft lbs of recoil in a 6.5 pound gun. Ouch!

Yes it would be a punisher! 12 gauge load though, 20.5 Red Dot, Federal Champion Paper hull. Still a tad snappy for high volume shooting.
