Correction, looks like a .410 gun, 20 gauge shells.  ??? ???

I haven't watched it again since this post, but the empty hull I noticed on the video looked like it had been laying there for quite a while.  Could it be just one of the shots they took as they were at the ranch?

I always considered it a preemptive strike when I was able to eat something that would otherwise have been able to eat me.








Don't go there.   ;D

I'm glad you're my friend.  I'd hate to think of the things you'd say if you weren't.  ;D

Great story....sounds like his dad taught more than just gun handling skills......he taught him to think and react to a threat.
You'd be surprised at how many older, 'accomplished' shooters would have fumbled that one.

Good Job to both parent and child.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I thought the same thing... Way to go Dad!!!! You done good.... Probably has more sense handling firearms than the weekend warriors I see at the range...

He gets the ATTABOY of the week award!!!
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
