A milestone on Halloween
Permalink  
 

My Halloween Day blind.



I was treated to a  blustery late October sky. Directly in front me is the decoy spread and final resting place of 26 birds. The victims of 31 shots from a 117 year old shotgun(I was hittin' 'em good today).



The Mighty Ten Bore and crow #400 for the fall 2010 season, a record year for me.



Engaving is sparse on a grade 1 Parker or quality "NH" grade 10ga from 1893.

Happy Halloween to you Phil,  thanks but yesterday was my best day for hit to shot ratio.  The day before I felt like I could not hit the barn if I was standing inside going 9 for 24.  Go figure.  Overall for the year my hit to shot ratio is slightly better than 50%.

Hard to believe you gun is 117 years old. Very cool! I agree with Lone Star Phil, you are an efficient shooter!

Thanks. For what it's worth here are the stats from my notes on my hunting this year thus far. I have been out hunting crows on 53 days since 8/15. I have shot 405 for 784 shots (465 rounds of 10ga for 229 crows and 319 rounds of 12ga for 176 crows).

The gun has been a blast and it's a work in process. On the to do list in the off season is to have the checkering freshened up and the barrels refinished. I gotten a great deal of enjoyment from this old short ten and have enjoyed bringing back from the near dead.
