CB, Gil needs to buy that 8 ga Parker in the other thread....I bet he could kill a turkey with sugar cane crystals out of that thing. KaBOOM.

Kaboom is right and I think you are on the right path Buzz. That 8 bore would do the trick. Gil might need a gun bearer though. I suspect his gun carrying muscles have atrophied carrying those little pixie dust pea shooters!

James, The game farm is what it is. But, my son passed his hunter safety course last fall, and missed his first season of actual hunting, instead of just tagging along, on account of me losing the vision in my left eye.
Hoping for better, this fall.
Best Ted

Ted, don't discourage the boy's gaming; the skills he develops with them may support your nursing home bills in the future. Keep him in the woods though, it'll make a better man of him. Best Wishes...Geo

Sounds like the boy already learned one of lifes lesson on his outing with Dad to the bird field. And, that is the FOUR Ps.....prior planning promotes performance. With that, I bet the boy doesent forget his boots again on another cold MN winter day.

Ted, an old friend told me that fishing with kids and fishing are two different things. Same can be said about hunting and shooting. However, it sounds like a good day all around. Today, I went back to where I missed a bird opening day with my 20 ga. I didn't miss him today. Yildiz TK36 single-shot .410, 7/8 oz. of #9.5 SOSAM (Spawn of Satan Anti-Matter). 25-30 steps. I got drenched going after him through Tupelo and cypress swamps. The bike got me about 3 miles in from the locked gate. Old age and treachery...Gil

I love the bike method! I used to do the same riding down railroad tracks. Bit rough.
How do you carry the gun? On a sling, or in a scabbard?
I used a sling but had to watch for branches grabbing at the muzzle.

I've got handlebar gun mounts. With this gun weighing 3.25 lbs., it's just as easy to sling it over my shoulders. I don't like a rough ride possibly affecting the red dot's zero and my body absorbs the jolts better than the handlebar mounts. The crate on the bike rack can carry all gear, lunch, water and a grown bird. Gil
