A great day small game hunting outside Thunder Bay, Ont. Dec 1st

Still plenty of game out there, winter time is the most fun for hunting I think. Following fresh tracks and stalking the little guys is very challenging and rewarding. It's hard to see but there are a pair of spruce hens, a pair of ruffle grouse (partridge) a fine snowshoe hare. It really was a great time hunting. That's a H&R single shot .22lr with a 3x9x30 on it. Great little (and inexpensive) set up, easy to carry in the bush and very reliable. Also pictured is my friend's cooey 410 that desperately needs a fore grip.

Nice days bag. Some tasty snacks there.

Footnote, your buddy best hope he doesn't get stopped while hunting with that gun as a C.O may deem it as defective and seize it. When I worked at the MNR there was many in the lock up with forearms taped to keep them together that were deemed defective so were seized. They consider them in disrepair and unsafe.

Really? I bet he has no idea of that. Thanks very much I'll pass it along.

I've been thinking about the same gun but in .22/20g let me know how that gun performs, I'd like to hear how it goes.
