7 Year Old Busts One (me too)
« on: April 11, 2004, 09:42:26 AM »
Yesterday morning I was out with my buddy and his 7 year old son.  Got to the woods and a owl call located a bird.  Set up a couple decoys and hunkered down.  Buddy sat with his son and did the calling.  I saw them at about 25 yards.  Three jakes came right up to the decoys and the little fellow and I both fired at the same time.  Two birds went down.  He's convinced he shot both of them as he didn't hear my shot.  Took mine with a plinker load in my 45 Colt Trapper, he shot his with a 20 gauge with # 7's from 15 yards.  He told his dad that little 6 point mount in the living room needed to come down so his bird could go up in its place.  Through the magic of a cell phone, his mom had a picture of him before we left the field.

What brand of ammo makes #7 shot; or is it a typo & you meant #7½?

Beats me what brand he shot.  7 1/2 is probably the size.  When I talk to the dad again, I'll post the brand.
