Well, before I headed south and east I allotted 2 hours to head out to my old permission near Pocatello to debut Ghost and The Wraith. After 2 previous days of super high winds the winds were light enough to hunt and I had some time.
I arrived in Ghost and brought the gun I am now planning to take ownership of, especially after today. The Ghost is my 2022 grey Subaru Outback Wilderness and the Wraith is the Brocock Ranger XR in 177. I was shooting JSB 10.34 gr Heavy shooting at 785 FPS and shooting at 14.3 FPE.
This is the first time I have been at my old permission since I moved to the Seattle area. The farmer was glad to have me back, and I my traditional dozen donuts.
The weather was bright blue Idaho skies. There were a lot of sparrows, doves young and old but not many starlings or pigeons.
Carrying the Wraith I found it to be on par with Shadow, my Uragan Compact, maybe a tad lighter, though for sure a bit shorter. I had a DonnyFL Tatsu on the gun. I left the bracket for my scope cam on Shadow which is in the gun safe which is in the car…totally inaccessible.
The first quarry taken was a collared dove taken at 53 yards from top of a bale of straw. And as usually I attracted a crowd.
For about 30 minutes I wandered around the paddocks and stalls. And came up with some doves and a sparrow.
After a couple of doves I headed over to the stockyard for about 45 minutes of my two hour window. The whole total for the stockyard was around 10, a couple doves tumbled down the hill. I got one pigeon, the days of the massive pigeon herds at the stockyard are gone, thanks to me
The young doves were dumb as bricks too.
This is first time I have had the Ranger field. Essentially other than caliber it is the same gun as @L.Leon Atomic (I think he should call the Atomic Atzila. Who’s with me on this petition?). This little platform is truly a winner. Even my fans think so.
