Today, I found a video about a guy shooting a 13 foot long shotgun. I have posted it here. It is called the punt gun & it is loaded with 2000 grains of black powder, & the guy who shoots it says in a different clip that he uses 70 grains to load his .50 cal. rifle.
I like this video because it shows what can be done when someone puts their mind to doing something. There are more video clips that you can find on YouTube.

Pheasants
Hi,
I just read in the book, "The Upland Game Hunter's Bible" about how hard it is to find, let alone shoot, a pheasant. Mr. Holland says, on page 21, that "A cock pheasant is undoubtedly the orneriest, most contemptible, low-down, miserable bird that a hunter ever had to contend with. There's no trick he doesn't know or won't use. Where possible he'll drop his head and tail to the ground and sneak away like a thief in the night, miraculously inconspicuous even in thin cover; if he can see his way clear, he'll dig in and, with head and tail high, run like a race horse; He'll squat within two feet of a hunter's feet, and let the man walk right past him; and he'll fly only when he is cornered -a rare thing-or when it is strictly to his advantage. And when he does jump, he'll do so with a flash of color and a raucous cackle that will throw a man's timing about twenty degrees off center. All of which is high praise. More power to him. And all of which makes the subject of how to hunt pheasants difficult to define."
All of this makes me very eager to go on my first pheasant hunt, and I will let you know how it goes after we do it.
Gotta go,
Jacob

Early Birthday Gift!!!
Hello,
Yesterday Dad, Andrew, & I went to Bismarck. While we were there, Dad bought Andrew & I both a brand new Remington 870 Express shotgun!! We shopped around awhile, and bought them at Scheels.
Here is a picture of me with my shotgun after we got home.
Today, one of our hunting friends stopped by, & we had a good chat. Andrew & I showed him our guns. He said that the 870 is the most popular & reliable pump shotguns on the market.Thank you, Dad, for a gift I will always remember.
Well, its time to go,
Jacob
