This post is worthless without information on the gun. Even if it is an over/under.

Jonathan, it’s a CZ Teal in 20 gauge, 28” barrels, choked IC & M. A tad bit heavy for chasing chukar and huns, but still a nice upland gun. You can find them on sale under $500.

For the steep stuff, I prefer my Beretta Silver Pigeon 286 with 26” barrels. Or… if I want to miss with 3 shots, a Franchi Affinity 3, also with a 26” barrel, choked M. Both are 20 gauge.

So, are you a SxS guy? Gotta be careful with those double guns…

No, I didn’t do that.

that’s great Steve!! Love it. Our Fall weather is just beginning here in Southern IL.

In 2009, at 10,800 ft in the Weminuchee Wilderness Area, I killed a ruffed grouse with my longbow while hunting out of state in Colorado.

With a small game, Elk, and Black bear tag in my pocket and sitting around the campfire that evening I told Gilbert, my hunting partner “this is the most expensive chicken dinner you’ll ever eat”

It’s about the experience, filling a permit is secondary, but rewarding. I gun hunt too

Congratulations! my friend…..
