Not bragging, but I've got a few shooting trophys.  Some day I will post a photo.  Wish I was there to be a spotter for you.

Merry Christmas - keep the bullets out of the prop!

Randy, When are ya going out on a run?  Sounds like a great time to me!

Leni,

 

Haven't set a firm time yet.  I just have the gunner permit, not the pilot permit so I am gunning for Randy Apling (Plaschem).  He is having shoulder surgery later this month so will likely be Feb before we can get out.  Meanwhile, I need to do some patterning with 00 buckshot to see if I can use my 18.5" 12 ga or if it would be better to use a long barrel.

Ahh, cool!  We used to do it with a mini 14.  If your in the rear, careful of the wing strut!  I know of more than one cub driver who heard the nasty bang bang bang ting as the gunner was watching the bullet hit the snow and trying to walk it in on the wolf with no regard to the location of the wing strut

 

Shooting out of the plane is fun, but it takes a bit to get it down.  Kind of like trying to hit a road sign with a beer bottle.. ya gotta get the lead dialed in!

Bushmaster!  The 12 ga. will take your whole strut or prop off!

Use to shot wolf's out of a Cub around Big lake Alaska about 1974-75.

I've got a real nice Alaska Alpha Wolf headdress - guess I should sell it, because I never wear it.

Sounds like a good thing to show in your man cave/ trophy room.
