Girlfriend spoiled me

[FrontierGander]

Took me by completely surprise, shocked me to the soul.

Not only did she buy me a .22 air gun so I can hunt the town eurasian dove, but she knocked my socks off with a traditions buckstalker! I've always wanted to try one out and it's a pretty nice muzzy.

I'll be loading it with gearhart owen black powder and hopefully the 385gr hornady great plains bullets.


I'll be outfitting it with open sights.

You might want to keep her around!

I watch dateline, investigation discovery, and a lot of other murder shows. One of those is probably the accident that gets her out in case you didn't put a ring on it this Christmas...

Nice.

 

[FrontierGander]

Cleaned the bore out yesterday. Only took 4 patches and she was spotless of grease. Hope to get some pics later today before the wind moves in.

There is a lot to like about this girlfriend!

Hang on to that one, I have one just like her been, married to her going on 46 years.

ITS A TRAP!!!!!!!


Just kidding, but seriously.

Trigger breaks at just a touch over 2.5lbs! Now to decide on open sights.

Keepers, ....all 3.
Shot the .22 yet?

 

[FrontierGander]

Sure did!! The gamo scope crapped out after 20 shots. Wouldn't track. Put a 4x32 simmons on and at 25 yards, shots will touch.

Eurasian dove victim #2. These suckers are huge and offer a ton of breast meat.

Cool stuff.
We have those Eurasians down here on the Gulf Coast.
Been wondering how they taste.

That’s cool! Don’t tell the wife!

They taste exactly like mourning dove but they are way bigger. Plus in Alabama there is no limit on ring necks.
