Yesterday, I spent the day wandering the lonely, grass covered, Southeast Idaho hills in search of Sharptail Grouse with my dog Gentry and some friends. We walked a lot of miles and only found one Sharpie and a pheasant. It was still a great day hunting beautiful country with friends and great dogs. Here is Gentry and I with our very first Sharptail Grouse. My 100 plus year old Belgian double sure works for me. One shot and one bird.

It might be the angle but the barrels look rather short what length are they? Lovely photo's in the spirit of the day

Lovely photo's in the spirit of the day This old William Read & Sons of Boston 12 gauge Belgian Guild Gun has unmolested 26 inch barrels choked cylinder and full. It is great combination of specs for a side by side designed for hunting in a thick grouse coverts behind a setter.

Demonwolf, nice job on the old gun and welcome aboard to the site.
Greg, I am suffering a reoccurring dose of gun envy every time I see your Blanch.
Oskar, nice bag of ducks with the Robust.
George, pass me a duck. It looks great. Billy just got back from Saskatchewan with a load of duck, too. I need to put a Canadian waterfowl hunt on my Ducket list. Gil
Gil, you are in luck. The Bell family of General Mills fame just put their place in Manitoba up for sale. It's next door to mine. A true bargain of a hunting retreat at only 7.5 million. Mind you, that's Canadian dollars so it would be cheap in real money. George, when you say no sharpies, was that becasue you didn't hunt them or that there weren't any?

My first ever ruff. On a hunt with wingshooter16. Steve, did Mike get anything or was he just the gun bearer? LOL

George, when you say no sharpies, was that becasue you didn't hunt them or that there weren't any? The area of Saskatchewan I hunt (along Last Mountain Lake) has had two rough Winters in a row. The game bird population is way down. The Province has reduced the limits this year. My "hunting" for huns and sharpies consists of keeping a close eye up the gravel roads in the afternoons when we are locating our duck shoot for the next morning. I usually see plenty of sharpies or coveys of huns out in the road graveling. We stop the truck, get out, and flush the birds where they've run back into the road grass or stubble. This year I saw one sharptail and no huns at all!...Geo

George, answered my question perfectly. It was the weather of the last couple years that caused me to cancel my Sask trip (had a hunting partner on the ground there in the spring giving updates) and just wanted to see if our predictions were reasonably correct.
