Haha .... yes, probably not the best chosen phrase. I posted late at night and probably wasn't as alert as I could have been. Oh well, too late to edit now so it will stand.
You must have a mind...

You must be skilled taking them on the wing. I am a barely adequate shotgun shooter and don't think I would do as well as you.
I've noticed that Peacocks are strong and fairly rapid flyers,...

Went walkabout yesterday, taking the Sako M591 243W on the hunt for Hares and Rabbits. I visit this block several times a year and while it's been a reliable provider over the years of these small...

I bet he can't wait to get out again after nailing...

Very cool. Dad doing a great thing showing his lad the ropes. Another young hunter in the making by the looks.

Great story thankyou. Really enjoyed reading it.
Very much aligned with my own thoughts about the simple and deep pleasures of being out and about with an accurate rifle in hand taking...

I agree. That's a very cute rifle and scope setup. :D

Very enjoyable taking the little Ruger .243W for a walk this morning. Just love being out early enough to greet the new day. First time I've had the Ruger out since March due to a couple of spells in...
