Earlier this month, I decided to bundle up and head out to do a little small game hunting to see if I could kick up a few rabbits using my new Heritage Rough Rider .22 revolver.
I was slowly stopping and going when I saw movement coming up from a gully. I sat down quickly in the bushes and out from me about 10-15 steps from me were two toms and five hen turkeys. Where were these guys when I was hunting them when the season was open? But, I did shoot one of the toms (with my camera) and got a photo. Hopefully, they will be there next year. I also saw a 4-point buck; it too was within shooting range if deer hunting was open. You may hunt furbearers during the day using any handgun, however I did not see any. But . . . I’ll be back.
