New buddy from gun club invited me to join him with his Springer Abe for a morning at New England Upland, a 'hunting preserve' in mid-state NH. Knew it was going to be too warm for the Labrador Destroyers Pepper and Onions, so they were left on guard duty. As a member, bud gets 100 birds per season and he had some leftover from last season that he wanted to have tossed out before the next 100 for this year are added. It's a use them or lose them type deal, so that was that. Pretty area, and while not even close to what I'd consider a hunt, was a fun and nice way to start getting warmed up for the season. Brought along my Ithaca/SKB model 100 (I think that's the one) in 20 ga that I bought from a member here a couple years ago. Really haven't shot it much, but when I have, feathers have flown and it's a joy to carry compared to my relatively heavy duck guns in 12 bore. Check the shells I grabbed from the cabinet while still a bit groggy. Not the ones I thought they were but they worked just fine. Note that the shells are old enough that the lead 6s have a picture of a mallard on the box, so that says something about their age... Chasing feathers in 80F temps somehow just doesn't feel right, but it was good exercise and a nice way to spend a morning with a friend and his dog and slap the trigger some. Bonus was being offered to take as many ears of sweet corn as we wanted. I grabbed a few for the pot. Sorry in advance for the crappy phone pics but it was too damned hot for me to want to haul the real cameras along.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
