Killed my first bird with a black powder shotgun! What kinda fun you have?View attachment 100938Still a few weeks out before I can go after them but I ran across him with 8 hens the other day below my house. This year, numbers in my area seem to be up. I am thinking about taking my black powder shotgun out after one this year. I would be smitten if I ran into this guy
The one I would be using is an Italian made F.lli Pietta Gussago SxS cap. Being a big flintlock guy I have been looking for a Fowler, but @Red Beard convinced me not to spend any money this year on guns and my wife is holding me too it. Maybe next year if I find one I like.Killed my first bird with a black powder shotgun! What kinda fun you have?
That is perrrttyyy! I have a similar gun but cheaper and made by navy arms. Only difference is my barrels are brown.The one I would be using is an Italian made F.lli Pietta Gussago SxS cap.

I did no such thing! Must have been another red character. I would never tell you such nonsense.The one I would be using is an Italian made F.lli Pietta Gussago SxS cap.

To many red characters… @redsquirrel is the culprit. My appoligies @Red Beard !I did no such thing! Must have been another red character. I would never tell you such nonsense.
We’re certainly blessed to have them both!!To many red characters… @redsquirrel is the culprit. My appoligies @Red Beard !
Funny you mention this. Just got one of these (rebranded) as part of my ghost blind package. I thought it would be way too low to the ground to operate a bow but it's turned out to be amazing with a longbow. I'll caveat by saying that the ghost blind provides total concealment for me to shift around and into position prior to the shot.Anyone use a chair while bow hunting them? I don’t plan on using blind to be somewhat mobile but looking into something like this to elevate me a little bit to be able to draw on them
Congrats man!Heck yeah!
I use the Waldrop Pac Seat (standard size) for bowhunting turkeys within and without a blind.Anyone use a chair while bow hunting them? I don’t plan on using blind to be somewhat mobile but looking into something like this to elevate me a little bit to be able to draw on them
I had thought if I used my bow for turkey and just used my saddle with my feet on the ground I could make it work for a long sit for turkey. Just need to be high enough in some areas to be shooting above the field edge brush and grass about 2-3 high. Seems like a simple and lightweight option vs sitting on the ground or bringing a chair. Has anyone done this and is it limiting vs a ground seat?I use the Waldrop Pac Seat (standard size) for bowhunting turkeys within and without a blind.
I’d be interested in how this works! figured I’d just strap the chair to bottom of my pack anyways.I had thought if I used my bow for turkey and just used my saddle with my feet on the ground I could make it work for a long sit for turkey.

I have a dryad mini so all I would need is a belt on to carry it in on and my tether, not even a need for leg straps. I can’t see it being limiting enough to make carrying a chair in worth my time and effort for a quick seat. I will still have my turkey vest to carry my decoys with seat for a ground sit if I don’t have a tree. I usually just face it backwards and kneel on my seat to shoot my bow. To add the mini and a tether to the setup might open up a few options for almost no weight penalty.I’d be interested in how this works! figured I’d just strap the chair to bottom of my pack anyways.
