Got permission on a new property ... dropped Vern and Joe at one end to walk the fencelines while I came up the middle from the other end ...
Vern at the North line ...
Joe at the South line ...
We moved 4 jacks and got 2 of them ... , Vern got his on a dead run with his .222
And I got my 1st of the day on a crossfield fence line at approx 95 yards with my .223 ( I snapped 1 quick picture before I ironed him out on the 2nd shot :oops: )
Of the 6 Jacks we got today 5 were big males ....
Back to the truck to warm up ...
Headed to another property .... I dropped Vern and Joe at another fence line and I went to the other end to work a small bush lot ... but I got a little too far to the RH side when I went to park ! :lol: :lol:
Never moved any Jacks at that location , but did see deer and I found my 1st shed of the season ( a LH side with 6 points ) ...
Vern dropped Joe and I off at the next property and drove the truck to the end of the concession ...
Joe got a beauty big male on the run with his 12 gauge after a long chase that nearly got Joe drowned in a snow drift !
Here are 5 of the Jacks before field dressing ...
On the last snowshoe pass , I had a Jack come screaming out of the cedars on a dead run from Joes direction ... at first I couldn't pick him up in the scope , but he crossed the creek and I bowled him over when he crossed an opening at approx 85 yards .... I felt " right on " when I shot buit was surprised to see him come out of the sumersault and run like his hair was on fire ? ( I figured I must have blown the snow from under him ?? )
I snowshed over the creek and found blood at the sumersault site .
Snowshoed approx another 65 yards and found him down the bank and on the creek ice ...
Had a great day , with the guys ... and almost forgot .... 2 pictures of a little cotton tail .... he was too small for the big guns , so he got a pass ! :lol:
I was on the gun more than the camera today , but here are some of the other Jack pictures ... 2 on the run and one sitting ...
Vern brings up the truck and we head back to eventually get super at KFC Tuesdays two pices of chiken for a toonie in Listowell ( something the retired guys knew about ! ) :lol: :lol:
Notice the slight bow in the RH side running board :oops: it's been misparked a few times .... :lol:
