Ever heard of a 2 gauge shotgun?
As a hunter, you know that a 12 gauge packs a pretty good punch, and for that reason, few hunters have the desire to step up to the larger 10 gauge. But can you imagine what it would be like to shoot a 2 gauge? Believe it or not, 2 gauge shotguns were once used to kill ducks, but not by the means of modern waterfowlers. Back in the days of market "hunting" for ducks, shooters in a flat-bottomed duck boat (called a punt) would float up to a raft of ducks and then pull the trigger on the 10-foot-long muzzleloading shotgun, which was mounted directly to the boat. Need proof of a punt gun's effectiveness? Watch the video above to see what a single shotgun blast does to 128 clay targets stacked side-by-side on a vertical board. |

Gobblers like to taunt me. I see them pretty often when hiking or mountain bike riding. I could get off the bike, wave my arms and they'll sit there and stare at me like "look at this idiot" but when it's spring gobbler and I have my 870 in hand and license on my back I might as well be running around set on fire with a an air horn blowing out my ass. Hopefully I'll have better luck come fall gobbler. Grats on the good hunt. |

We are covered up with foxes the last 3 years. There's an old abandoned sewage pipe at the hog farm that they have a new litter in every year. I counted 8 the other day. The coyotes are starting to make a comeback though and will probably kill off the foxes. I need to get me a few furrs first.

I'm a Brittany man myself, (I don't do much waterfowl hunting) and I'm really looking forward to getting my new pup in a few months.
There's nothing quite like getting a new bird dog. Posted via Mobile Device |

Big fat groundhog Mox killed. My daughter about puked when she started tearing the guts out to eat them. Her boyfriend and the boy sure got a kick out of it.

That's cool, I've never owned a dog that would outright kill groundhogs. We had a Brittany as a kid who would corner them and then bark his fool head off until someone came to kill it though.
