Hi all, went out today with my friend Brandon, we did well. We each got a limit of sharpies and I was able to get a couple huns. Lady luck smiled on me as I was able to get a double on grouse and a double on the huns. The dogs worked great, lovely day and a good time. Here's Brandon with the last bird of the day, he was using is Uggie Parker-Hale in 20ga:  Brandon with his dogs Pat(the Brittany) and Maggie (GSP):  I was using my 16b John Wilkes SLE:  And myself:  Going to go out again tomorrow with my boys. All the best! Greg

Very nice Greg! You are very lucky to have access to that quality of hunting as often as you want. Keep it up and keep the photos coming! Got any pics of the action?

Greg, Youe Wilkes 16b SLE is a beauty. What's that gun weigh, when was it made, barrel length and how's she choked?

We did a little sharp tail hunting . These gentlemen are guests whose friendship and company I enjoy each fall. Canadians and one who came as a stranger from Ohio and now is an integral member of our little September fest.  Guns used were, a Beretta SxS, a W. Richards 20 and a ....I am not sure, maybe a Purdey or maybe a Holland 20.

Good Show!!!

Hi again, Will and I went out today to a different area, this place had a couple of ratty short cornfields. That's were the birds were today. The corn was only chest high, so easy shooting. Here's Will with is limit, he was shooting his Fabarm 12ga Beta Classis:  My limit, I was using my 16b Charles Boswell:  And me with my out of shape hat!!!:  See you later!!! Greg

On the other hand Greg, it does not appear that you are having trouble hitting with any of your guns! A 6lb 1-4oz, 16 gauge with 28in barrels is the best of all worlds, at least for me.

I was in the cornfields too today Greg, chopping silage. Man were there pheasants. I thought last year was a dandy population but this year is going to be even better.  Talk about a hot, windy, dry, day. I was roasted well done in my truck. We need some rain, NOW!
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

OH Boy, Do We! I know so many of the landowners within a hundred miles of here, if not as friends at least well enough to sit and have coffee with in the cafes. So many of them have said that they are not letting anyone hunt until the fire danger passes. There are no one who are better judges of how dry it is than the men who most have the grass.
