My late Godfather used to shoot grouse over a pointer with a muzzle loader, - a flint gun if the weather was good, otherwise a percussion Joe Manton 12 bore s/s - which I now have. I think the flint gun was also a Manton, but can't be sure on that.

"Going North" and "Coming South" are two of my favourite pictures. You used to be able to buy very nice quality prints of those two pictures. I have seen the (huge) originals in York, and have the (rather more modest sized) prints hanging in my house. I have seen those pictures for sale somewhere but I cannot remember where I saw them. I'd love to have prints of the pair. Emily will just LOVE two more hunting theme pics for the wall. Anybody know where they might be available?...Geo

Im pretty sure I got mine from Malcolm Innes Gallery in Edinburgh, but it was a long time ago.

We can't start that early here in the States. However, there used to be (may still be) a group of sports in Des Moines who'd celebrate the Glorious 12th by driving out to the countryside and shooting bridge pigeons.

GMCS, I've had Chessies for some years now. A rare breed here. I have two at the moment. They are real characters and good general purpose dogs. The younger of the two I have at the moment will stand on its hind legs like a performing poodle to get a better look at what's going on. She will stand like that for some time. Old Sammie, the one in the photo, was a brilliant deer tracker. Lagopus.....
