That looks like a fine bird season with some nice old shotguns. Even more so if you managed that many birds without a dog. Great post!

That is a fun post. Glad you like your Burgess. We live close together [montana-wise] and maybe with similar interests, we should get together.

Those Burgess guns are fascinating. I've never seen a badly made example. I believe Winchester finally ended up with the company but John Browning helped himself to at least one of their designs, the takedown on the Model 520 Stevens shotguns.

Congratulations on a fine season of bird hunting. Are the grouse both blue and ruffies? Bill

Wonderful pics. Thank you!
Is the fourth pic a grouse? It is so dark compared to the others, and has no band on the tail, that I can see.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Nice photos and such big birds. Those are 2 inch shells. Is the gun a 2", 12 bore?
For the first time passing through Bozeman last fall, I stopped into Hill n Rod. My knees were shaking but I left without spending any money. Nice gun store which I suppose you have visited many times.
