4th Annual Pheasant hunt

[AJ]

Hi guys Getting ready for our 4th annual pheasant hunt and sporting clays shoot this weekend (15th). We shoot a couple rounds of sporting clays to warm up and after lunch hit the fields to shoot some pheasants and some chuckars. Yeah it is a preserve hunt, but the birds still fly and have to be knocked down. This year will have forum members, WABS, Broadside, and myself as a team. Its not looking good for the birds, even with Broadside on our team.

I remeber your hunt and pics from last year. Have fun!!

Man, I love preserve hunts. Wish they weren't so expensive.

Good luck AJ.

[WABS]

Looking forward to Saturday -- looks like it will be nice and brisk (20s - 30s). What's the scheduled start time for the sporting clays?? Bring coffee!!

Man, that sounds like a awful good time. AJ, see if you can get a pic or two of you guys and your birds.
I went on a preserve hunt last fall and had a riot

We'd do a lot better if AJ could shoot just a little. I have to stand next to him even during sporting clays and back him up. I do the best that I can...:-)

[carbonhunter]

What are you carrying AJ???

[AJ]

Yeah what can I say. So it was not my best day at the range. I forgot who had the highest score?


I will probably be carrying my Charles Daly Empire Sporting Clay gun. It will be setup with improved cylinder for the lower barrel (first shot) and full for the upper barrel.

It will be fed with 1.125 oz of #7.5 shot for the first shot and 1.125 oz of #6 for the second shot.

We will definately have pics but I don't expect the action photos like last year.

[WABS]

OK, the reason you always beat me is because you're the host...

For those of you out there that don't get the opportunity to shoot with AJ you have to know that he's not bad....OK he's pretty darn good.

We'll see you Saturday AJ -- what time are we getting together?

[carbonhunter]

Nice gun there AJ, interesting choke selection.

[AJ]

Plan on meeting at the clays range at 08:00. Bring the long johns. Its going to be a little chilly. The weather channel is calling for Partly Cloudy 33°/16° . That's an improvement over last year. It was 8° most of the day. Brrrrrrrr.

I need to take a picture of my A5 to put on here...I need to look for a little equal time with AJ.

Hi again,
We just got back from our hunt/shoot combination day. It was a blast! We shot 100 sporting clays in the morning, had lunch, and went hunting for a few hours. We took most of our pheasants (19/20)and all the chuckers (5/5). We had a great time with some good shooting, friendly bantering, watching good dogs work, and camaraderie of friends.

If any of you get the chance to hunt or shoot with WABS or Broadside, jump at the chance. They are great guys and sportsmen.

Will post a pic later.

Here is a pic from our hunt. Left to right are AJ, Broadside, WABS, and a non computer using individual.

There is a pile of pheasants and chucker in the foreground. This was about 1/2 way through the hunt.
