Every lad should have a air rifle, rimfire or .410 shotgun to start with. I still have mine.

And no bloody scope. Kids can learn open sights first.

I was hunting squirrels, birds, grouse (shotgun) open sighted air rifle for 3 years, then a .22 LR for squirrels & ground hogs for another 5 years before getting my first scope.

Top two holding SxS shotguns. Is that a Euro method? Certainly isn't the way I hold one, or the way the Brits taught.
With splinter forends, I grip the tubes, usually at the end of the forend.

It's a painting Daryl. Probably the artist's impression.

Nice painting anyway.

Is this a Russian railway advertisement? Or humour of some sort.

Hunters dogs and guns on the train.

Its a witch. The Japanese believe foxes are often witches or creatures of omen.

A white fox with blue eyes? Beautiful but I blame climate change.

What an extraordinary fox to see in the wild.

the maker of this pics have great chances for the next animal of the year photo contest. if the fox have a great chance in life is unclear to me. maybe his white fur is a great disadvantage in daily survive.
its a rare mutant but in law a fox like every other. would I shoot it just in case, think so.

Is it an immature fox? A white adult would make a nice full unusual body mount.

A woodcock.
I missed it at the first shot, and with the speed of thought I prayed that the second shot without a long fire!

How good is that? Beautiful gun and bird. Are they good to eat?

Marc, that's great.

I could have had a shot at the one and only wood cock I've seen. At a Somerset pheasant shoot. Alas as I was lining up at it, someone yelled "don't shoot!" Someone else yelled "shoot!" But my moment was gone, Maybe one-day.

Flying lightning


What is French for "woodcock"?
