Muzzleloader first today.


Recommended Posts

Visited a farm I don't go often and said hello to the chap. I shoot rats in the yard sometimes and woodies on his crops in summer but rarely do I visit in winter.

He showed me his new flatcoat puppies and told me to help myself to the place when ever I want!

Well it was great, pheasants, rabbits and snipe!

Never shot a snipe with a muzzleloader until today!

Missed the second one and then a little jack got up.

In fact I missed two pheasants and an easy rabbit!

I did get a hen bird with my last shot.

The real highlight was when a cock sparrow hawk came down the middle of the hedge I was stood next to after a blackbird. The blackbird got away and the hawk stopped in the hedge bottom having a breather. I was able to carefully observe him unknown by him. Those yellow eyes!!

Grand morning.
