Here is one from today. The 11 year old grandson of a farmer who has extended access to his farms to me for a decade or so. His first pheasant ever, taken with his first shot at a pheasant ever. He used my Lindner FW. It was a great day as we now have a newly minted pheasant hunter.

Sometimes we hunt with plain SxS shotguns. This one is a "standard field grade" 12 gauge Remington 1900 with 30" steel barrels. Bagged one rooster this morning near Carlyle, IL using a handload with #5 NICE shot. JERRY  Jerry all you need is a Turtle Necked Sweater and you would be a dead ringer for Hemingway ! 
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

Hi all, here's a couple from today. I was shooting a John Blanch 12b, SLE. Got 3 roosters and a sharpie. My son Will was using my Boswell 16b, BLE. He got 2 roosters. A good day. Can't believe the weather today, almost hot!! It's in the low 50's and here it is close to Christmas!! This don't bother me at all!! All the best! Greg

Greg: Your John Blanch is a very nice looking gun. What shells are you shooting in her to harvest those pheasants?
Socialism is almost the worst.

I like all of Greg's doubles but there is something about that Boswell that stands out above the rest.
