A special day each season is the annual birthday hunt for this 16 gauge gun. A letter from the maker indicates that the day of completion was January 21 so each year I take it hunting either on that day or within a couple of days of it. The year of manufacture was 1914 so this year was its 100th birthday.

Skip, The Coggie's 100th Birthday deserved tweed plus fours. That old Filson vest looks close enough, however. Gil

Gil, I have as pair of tweed plus twos and a tweed shooting vest. One day you just might see me wearing them.

Steve, here is a picture of the knife. Overall length is 7".

Took the afternoon off and had a beautiful day in the snipe fields. 65 degrees. (how you like those apples, Joel. smile ). No tastier bird than a snipe. Air trout.

Jeweler, it does appear that Romie has a "get me out of here, Chauncey" look on her face. I assume that's a 10, if your next move is an 8. Gil

I've seen a similar look many times from my dog.

Gil, I'm jealous that you still have some shooting time left. I'm already counting down the days to next season.

I made it out one more time on the 15th. The last day of the season is usually a day of mixed feelings. I know within a week I am going to wish I could hunt again but at the same time I've usually had my fill of it and am ready to catch some fish.
