For about the last decade or so, I am the only Yankee I know that hunts grouse with a 12 gauge, sometimes. My Darne 12 is a bit lighter than the Beretta, even with a sling.

Lloyd and I did run into a really old looking guy that had a rather beat up looking Ithaca 37, could have been a 12 or 16, to my eye, from the truck. Cradled in one hand, beer and a smoke in the other.

Red Lake county, for you.

Best,
Ted
