A Perfect Fit!

It's been far too long since I had shot my 20 gage over-and-under but it was my own fault. For 5 years the firing pins have needed some TLC and they finally got it. So on Saturday and Sunday we went out and shot clays and went grouse hunting.

Shooting my 20 gage was like putting on my favorite pair of running shoes, it fits perfectly. I was really enjoying getting reacquainted with my old friend and ended up shooting about 110 shells over the two days. My shoulder is a little tender but the smile on my face says it was worth it!

Pheasant hunting has always been my favorite hunting past time, but since leaving Iowa we haven't done much of it. We're lucky to have an opportunity in the next few weeks to hunt them and I couldn't be more excited!

Maggee also got in on the action and let her instincts take over, she did amazingly well both days. I know, it shocked the shit out of us too. Jackson was the 'Master Helper' as he called it, handing Chris clays to throw and helping me pick up the spent shells.

While we didn't get (or see) grouse it was a beautiful fall weekend and Maggee was in her element, Jackson was content just being in the woods and Chris and I just soaked it all in.
