For those of you wondering whether this hunting season was better than last...

The answer is yes.

Here's the first pheasant kill, courtesy of the awesome flushing skills of my beloved lab



And here's the result of yesterday's duck hunt, from field to freezer

While we're waiting for the end of the world to end...

...here's a picture of the Zhid's new rifle, bought on election day, 2008 (at least the lower was). Sun Devil made the lower, Del-Ton supplied the rest (directly or as a reseller, like for the Magpul CTR stock) and the Zhid built it over about an hour last week.

Seems to be quite solid, compared to the last AR class weapon the Zhid had extended experience with (that would be circa 1986 in the IDF, and the M16 did not impress the Zhid).
