Hey all, thanks Karl and KY for the kind words. It sure is fun with a new dog, at times it does stress your nerves a bit. As I said just a matter of time and more experience. Anyway, my son Jim and I went out after he got back from school, we hit one area we do well most of the time. Today was a good one. I got 2 and Jim 1. We took Raina today and she did will. Had to end the hunt early, the temps were hitting 80 (supposed to get to 93 today!) and Raina was getting a bit overheated. Jim and Raina on the horizon  I used my C. Hellis 16b  Jim used his 12ga V.S. 3EC  Raina and the days bag  Best, Greg

Greg: did your son ever find the 16 ga he was looking for?

Thanks!

Greg, I have forgotten the parameters that he was looking to meet, but there are several tempting 16g Darnes on Gunbroker.

Hey all, well today was fun with a hammergun! My daughter is getting married tomorrow and this morning was the only chance I got to go out for a couple hours. The rest of the weekend is shot (no pun) for hunting. Anyway, took my 6 month old GSP Addie out for her second hunt. Didn't do too bad, she's starting to understand what this hunting deal is. Here she is out and about  I managed two today, both singles, I used my 16ga Carl Goluch  Good day overall! Best, Greg

Greg:
What a stunning piece of wood on that gun. Is it original or did you have it restocked?

I'm betting on grain painting. It does not look to me like Mark Larson's work though...Geo

Hey all, my son Jim and I went out after work for about an hour to one of our local grouse spots. Saw a few today, two nice groups (a bit wild). Still, we managed to get a couple. I got two and Jim one. I used my 16ga FN  Jim used his VS 12ga  Raina and the days bag  Best, Greg

The FN is nice, but the Hellis is my favorite on this page.
