Went yesterday. Saw the first pheasant I’ve seen in northern Sherburne county in 40 seasons. Muzzle loading season is on, staged it so I hit the grouse woods at 10:00AM, when I figured most of them would be ready for a cup of coffee, and pulled out by 1:30 PM, so I could pick my kid of from his private high school, and give the deer hunters a shot during the evening.
Used this:

Built the same year my mother was born, 1938. Loaded with 1 oz. 16 gauge Heavi-Metal loads. No Scotch Brite has been used on this gun. I use it, often.

Best,
Ted
