I'll stay in northern Michigan,thank you. Just coyote black bears, and the occasional cougar. I've only been able to get out into the woods about 2 times a week so far. I usually carry a small gambler and a ruger lcrx 3 inch .38+p loaded with 125 grain jhp. Sounds like the only critter missing from the Everglades now is Godzilla.

Brent,
It looks like you take things kind of serious in Northern Michigan.....and with good reason!!!!

I feel sorry for the folks in FL with their Everglades being the "melting pot" for exotic stuff now. I hear that now cobras are in the mix as well as some other nasties.

My "canoe gun" is a barely legal 16 ga H&R single shot shotgun with the barrel cut to 18" and I had Diamond D Leather make a 16 ga leather buttstock ammo carrier for it.

Loads are #1 buck and slug. Being that it is so light,the recoil is quite substantial but might be the right stuff for a canoe trip in the Everglades.

Wayne

A man after my own heart. Years ago I done the same to an HandR 20 gauge single. My father bought it used for $20.It was my present when I turned 15. Perfect rabbit gun. Many enjoyable memories of hunts on a Saturday morning in the fall and winter.

I have a .20 gauge handy with a 16" barrel. No telling how many coyotes I dumped while on my snowmobile. Mostly in the early spring when the snow was crusted up. We didn't have the new type snow powder tracts they have today. Plus back then, a good western coyote skin was worth $25.

Taste like eel (that ate a chicken).

I have to laugh when I hear about how folks say that they can make game (or whatever) taste like chicken.

Why go all the bother when you can just go out,buy a chicken a be done with it.

I prefer to have my game taste like,game.

Getting back to the sweet 16 which I got for free many years ago (legally). As I had said before the bbl I cut back to 18" and put a buttstock shell carrier on it but also installed a sling and an XS BIG front night sight on it.

Even with the cylinder bore,it patterns well at 30 yards and is "bowling pin accurate" with slugs at 50 yards.

That is my canoe/truck gun.

Heh, yeah, only time you find something else cheaper than chicken is when pork is on a low swing. Otherwise, it's the cheapest meat on the planet (other than houseflies).

I found a Savage on a Browning A5 patent in 16 ga. I think it is better built than the original A5. Made in Utica. Love that shotgun.
