Amazing what a difference 48 hours and a change in weather can make.
After Sunday night’s rain, the heat and humidity Monday AM was like a steam bath.
Birds were definitely not flying like they were on the Saturday morning opener.
Only got 8 shots Monday, missed 2, put down 6, couldn’t find 1, brought out 5.
But that was enough to add a “notch” to “The Settler”…my 20ga Early Virginia.
She’s now taken Squirrels, a 10 pointer, Does, a Turkey, and Doves.
No question a 20ga Flintlock is a very versatile hunting gun.
The black powder Dove load I tried today was:
70grn measure of Goex 3F black powder
1/2” Circle Fly lubed cushion wad
(bare bore - no shot cup)
90grn measure of #7.5s
2 Circle Fly over shot cards
