 Here's one I snapped a few days ago. My 1925 W&C Scott 12ga. my dog Buster and his turkeys. Buster made the flush about 10:30. Conditions that day were a fall turkey hunters nightmare 20 to 30 mph winds with temps in the 70's....Didn't figure on much as I only saw a couple of birds when Buster made the flush....by 3 pm I had called in and killed these four. 3 loud mouthed hens and one young gobbler. ....the last hen I shot about 30 yards she went down hard then jumped up and flew straight at me I swung and dropped her about 5 feet in front of us. (For anyone concerned they were all legal)

Boy, I really like posting photos. Such fun. Here's one from this morning I rather like:  Mark, great photo. To my eye,the gun and bird have an abstract resemblance. Thank you. I agree. I'm so often struck with how nature seems to design itself, e.g., the wet feathers at the top of his head repetitively mimicking the graceful form of the hammer of the gun. I've had a few requests for prints of this should I decide to paint it. I think I'll give it a go.

Stan the weight of steel 1's needed for a good crimp on those AA's (or the STS I currently load) is closer to 1 1/16 oz than 1 1/12 oz as I said earlier. No swan yesterday, but I had a good tme watching my dog and all the various birds.

Make me wonder, if 130 years ago, the guys filing up the action, carving the stock, or making the damascus barrels on this wonderful little Boss 20 were thinking it'd end up in the USA to kill American Woodcock.......

I can't believe this thread is still going. This was probably one of my last post as I got into Remington 17s and 37s (prohibited stuff you know).
Briar, on the right, passed last December and today was his birthdate 13yrs ago. Wow...
Love you buddy, go easy on those birds up there, your a little closer to them now.
