Springers, of course! Dad raised 'em, I've had one most of my life o/t the college years. Lively, versatile, great companions and absolute retrieving machines.

Dad also was a diehard double man, shot a Meriden and was deadly on South Dakota roosters and prairie grouse. My favorite gun tends to be the next one, currently a 20 ga. RBL but I've got my eye on a 12 ga. SKB 280.

Waterfowl are a lifelong addiction (alas, a semi-auto does better there) but Colorado ptarmigan and Nebraska sharptails and prairie chickens will fill twenty plus days of my fall season again this fall.

An aside, why don't the ammo companies offer more 7's?
