Hey all, went out after Church today for a little bit and was able to get a couple and a Hun. Should have gotten one more, but oh well can't always limit. Was tough for the dog today, winds were in that +18mph range, made scenting hard, but she did fine anyway. I use my 12b Cogswell & Harrison Konor  And Raina  Best, Greg

I sometimes forget just how beautiful the country is, how beautiful the birds and dogs are, and what a privilege it is to share all these things with good friends. All photos are courtesy of Coral Studer, a fine professional photographer from Bonner's Ferry , Idaho. She walked along with her husband, Brad, and friend, Pat . Hammer guns used were a Woodward 12 bore, a Scott Premier 12 bore, and then a hammerless Lajot 16 bore. I think we'll choose to use hammer guns again and again. After the hunt, my wife, Anne, and I prepared dinners of pheasant marsala, and pheasant picante. A wonderful way to enjoy a meal of those birds. Of course a Rhone wine and others to go with. Finally, it is nice to be reminded of how beautiful those birds can be. All wild in country as pretty as they are.

Preserve chickens in Chambersburg Pa. on Saturday. Me, my boy (Hank - 18 yrs.), GSP (Gus - 10 yrs.) and a couple of 100+ year old Lefevers. This will have to do until S. Dakota wild birds later in season. Daryl, this is my son I bought the 20 gauge Lefever from you for, a few years back. He decided to shoot one of my 16 gauges this trip.He appreciates and prefers the old 2 holers, which makes me happy! Fritz

I had forgotten about the 20 ga. Lefever. I guess I have had more than my share. The 16s are really nice in the Lefever line and usually have the 20 ga. sized frame.
The highlight is having your son with you. My son did not make it hunting with me this year as he lives 13,000 miles away in India. I miss having him and my grandson along as well. Congrat's on your shared day.

Thanks for the kind words. It is getting harder to connect and get him out as time goes on. The time goes fast. This is Hank and Gus on another preserve hunt 4 years ago. I hope everyone has a great hunting season.
