Lefever GE 12 and sprig, using ITX #4 handloads:



Beautiful fall day, taking my Syracuse O grade 16 out for the first time on a chukar hunt. I've since converted this gun to a straight grip and am sprucing it up. It's a fantastic shooter.

Hi all, went out after Church today for a very short hunt (family stuff this afternoon!) another very cold and windy day. Saw lots of birds, but very spooky, typical late season birds. Was able to scratch one down. Used my 12ga Buhag Hubertius:



Best!

Greg, do you ever find you don't shoot as well switching between a lot of different guns? Just curious.

Hi Scotty

Yes it's a 16 ga. Damascus barreled Belgium guild gun in that Mark Larson saved from the scrap heap . I load 2 1/2 inch Cheddite hulls with SR 7625 keeping pressures below 6500 psi. I believe RST and Polywad both make shells that your old Ideal could handle. She's deadly in my Pa. grouse and woodcock coverts.

Got Grouse??

Seems like I've been looking in the wrong places for the little guys??!!

Progression of a hunting photo. Preserve chuckers, super stead fast points, at nine months old. My best hunting photo with him so far!





Don.

Here are few photos taken by my lovely wife, Wanda, from yesterday's pheasant hunt with my buddy Dave. It was a good day with weather that felt more like late October than early December.

Me moving in on my setter Gentry's last point of the afternoon.



And something you don't see everyday while hunting pheasant. She was't to happy with us or the dogs.

Friday after Thanksgiving in a peanut field across the road from my home. A limit plus a couple bonus ringnecked doves.



My blind set up next to a wheel on the center pivot.



The gun, a 1918 32" BE Fox, using 1 oz. of 7 1/2s, .015" R and .025" L. Big medicine for late season doves.

Saturday after Thanksgiving in a peanut field just down the road from my house, Grandson Jackson with 12 big late season birds. I started him off with S x S guns, but he has left the fold and is using a 1100 20 gauge now. I'm claiming Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it". He is 12 yrs. old, but is a better shot than most men I know. He made the prettiest double that afternoon you ever saw, killed the first one incoming, then turned around and grassed another one going away. You shoulda heard his Grandpa cheering.



SRH

Very nice Stan. I hope to go to a real barn burner Saturday! Hopefully the birds hang around. Ill try to get pictures of the drag I told you about.
