So, I went camping with the gf out to her cabin around Gold Bridge B.C. and I couldn't resist bringing my 12 Ga up with us, hopefully I was going to use it!
Turns out I did early Sat morning at 6am sitting on the toilet, I look out the window and there are snow shoed hares in the distance mowing on the grass. I jump off the toilet grab my gun load it and I'm off. My gfs dog was intersted so i took him too, but told him to stay put. I pick my mark and sneak on him to about 15 yds before I let him have it. I really loved how my gf's lab buddy went straight for him grabbed him while he was doing his dead dance and brought him to my feet. Maybe I should take him hunting more often.
I was shooting my 12ga browning bps with a imp cyl mod choke and aimed abit high on the head because I didn't want to fill him up. I don't know how everyone does with shot placement but to my luck or skill.. i only had 3 shot hit the hare. One in the head one in the rib area and another in the upper neck.
here is a pic of him:
Then I gutted him and this is how he looked like:
Barley enough to fill me for one sitting, no wonder they have a limit of 10 per day..
Well, I set the damage for only one little guy for that weekend hoping theyd grow bigger for the next outing
, plus the gf wanted to do other things..
