Thanks Chuck, good way to pass time waiting for another fall.

For me it's springers and pheasants. My board name is the name of my first springer. I've owned five over 30+ years, all around 30 lbs. give or take, all have chased ringnecks with headstrong joy that keeps me engaged and (mostly) smiling. My older dog will be semi-retired this season ... I'm thinking there might be an English Cocker in my future.

I like 1-1/8 oz. from a 6-3/4 lb. side-by-side -- a 16 ga. RBL or M-21.



Oh yeah, ruffed grouse too, in the early season, with a 28 ga. Parker Repro. The photo below is more than 10 years ago.



I like hunting alone most of the time, otherwise with my brother or one or two friends.
