Unfortunately we don't have anything close to this sort of hunt in my local. My double fowler rarely comes out of the closet as my friends don't have the patience to wait up while I reload it. It is hard enough to try to convince them to even use an old double. They are off trying new chokes and the latest Black Cloud pheasant loads. I just carry my chin up and make sure I take down as many or more with my hinged doubles with black powder shell loads. So much for red-necked Calgary!


Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
