Went to a northen gunshop yesterday.
One the way home hit a public land spot where folks run beagles.
Nasty thorn rows.
No snow, saw one up close but too thick. Missed getting safety off on new Browning Citori 20 ga.
Was only there 45 mins total. Had one cut across field strip 60 plus yards out.
Two groups of hunters in other areas running dogs.
Place gets hammered, but there are still rabbits this late.
Def need 2 people, and snow.
Got out of shower and removed one thorn buried in back of leg.
The ol lady says "aint the first time" LOL
The shop had a 28" Citori Lightning 12 ga w Inv Plus tubes. Couple little scuffs, $1600.
Wood isn't great, but at least has some figure compared to my brand new Hunter model 20 ga.
Of course a buddy says he has a White Lightning he'd sell me for a couple hundred less.
Decisions decisions.
Honestly, that first rabbit woulda been in the bag if I had an 870 Special Field 20 ga.
No gloves, windy, and thorns all over, it wasn't a great 45 minute loop. I had to backtrack a fair bit to find a way out of some tangles.
But I saw two, how many I didn't see? And a heavily hunted spot.
We get some snow and Ima head back in there
