Title: First season with the 20 gauge
Post by: ssramage on April 12, 2011, 12:33:06 PM
Well guys I just basically closed out my first season with the 20 gauge (unless I go out of state). She went 3 for 3 on a few nice GA birds.

Bird 1: 3/26/11
10" beard and 1" spurs

Bird 2: 3/28/11
11-1/16" beard and 1-1/8" spur (only had one, the other was broken off)

10" beard and 1-1/8" spurs

Congrats on 3 good birds.  It's a lot of fun carrying the 20 around.

Nitros on all 3 (except the the 3rd took a second shot of Fed HWTs because I goofed)
1st killed at 30ish yds
2nd killed at 25 yds
3rd shot at 55 yds (misjudged distance and shot low) but got a second shot off at 40 yds
