Thread: 2 dogs, 2 goats and a 308

yup, was a good hunt, 2hrs all up (travel from home to getting back), so not too bad, i reckon any hunts good, even if u dont bag anything, just love getting out there (something i dont take for granted anymore after having a bit of long term illness).

and after 4 shots it seemed to settle a bit, ive actually never sighted it in, it shot fine when i got it years back, and ive left it at that, its been up and down the country abit too.
its an old as remmington woodsmaster semi, its a bit weighty esp with the bi-bod on it, but it soaks up the recoil that much ive never noticed it.
i think i'll go back to just oiling up the action and leave the wire brushes out of it, it seems to like inox over gun oil too.

its the 3rd goat hunt the dogs have been on, 1st the smell was so thick u could cut it with a spoon, dogs just sat there wagging tails, 2nd hunt they saw the goats and the kill, and this time everything "clicked", gotta try them on retreiving birds now, thatd save the old fella from fridgid dips getting ducks out of freezing water .lol (gotta find a pond to shoot up here 1st tho)

Yeah FOTW, i know what that 'cold water' feels like, i got a duck hunting 'possie' last year for opening day, the 'initiation' was I was the 'gun dog,' went through about 6 pairs of fukn socks..........

Ha ha, socks would have been fine, i was needing about 20 changes of undies lol.
makes u feel a bit for the dogs going in and out, i was doing a grand Eunuch empreson for weeks
