It's blowing up....

[Britsmoothy]

...here!
It's been grey and dank damp miserable weather here for months but these past two days have been windy and I love it!

Got me two rabbits, one sitting at 25+yards and one running across us about 15 yards.
The running shot just came natural like with good fast ignition from a not so good piece of flint I chipped off some rock! I had to knap it regular just to squeeze a shot or two more from it!
The photo.

The sitter got into cover crippled but Jess got its scent and pushed her way in rapidly and held the rabbit whilst I faced the thick thorn tearing at me whilst I make the retrieve (sometimes I really miss my retrievers or spaniel)!

Satisfied with that I loaded a ball.
Check my picture out in the smoothbore section, there is a thread on regarding smoothbore accuracy!

Is that pup snarling at your rabbit? Good shooting, especially the "runner", and thank you for the photo.

Good shooting Sir. Thanks for sharing. Reminded me of my teenage years hunting snowshoes in Northern Pennsylvania

No, she starts chewing sticks and bramble when she gets bored, like posing for photos!
Thanks.

A tasty soup or stew, with a truly good bread, is my favorite meal. Add a good garden salad and I am superbly fed!

Love your posts! You sir are a rare breed!

 

[Logcutter]

Brits you are quite a hunter. And oh my that soup looks good.

 

[PluggedNickel]

I’m glad I don’t have to go up against you with a muzzle loader Brit! Me thinks you’d be packing my Charleville away as a trophy! Sorry Patriot ancestors, I call ‘em the way I see ‘em!

Good shooting there.
