3 Frame 32" BHE - Blooded
 

I was very fortunate to acquire from a friend, #200784 a 1922 BHE 32” F/F pistol grip splinter DT on the coveted (for myself and many other waterfowl enthusiasts) Heavy 3 frame.
Our second season opened this past Saturday in Western New York and the Vanderbilt marsh presented many opportunities. I took the BHE on my maiden voyage and blooded it properly with 2 Big Black ducks and 2 Drake mallards. – a fitting start to what I hope will be a long relationship on late season plumbed up big ducks. Kent Matrix 1 3/8 oz. 2 ¾” # 5 took them down.
I have some special (to me at least) guns, but this one ranks very near the top!
Thanks again Bob J. - I thought of you often during my hunt!

A very fitting gun! Beautiful!

Mark,
That gun looks right at home in the duck blind. Although more of an upland configuration this BHE shares the same floor plate engraving pattern.

Very nice Mark!

The engraving on both of those B’s appears to be the work of Frederick Anschutz.

Looks like that gun found its perfect home and caretaker. What a beautiful gun!

Beautiful gun Mark, the start of many memories in the blind!

Probably the best combination in non-tox loads for big ducks over decoys. Have used lots of it and it always delivers the goods.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to view this gun, it's a dandy IMO. Congrats Mark !

I forgot to mention - the gun is cast for a left handed shooter - Which I am - Again, I feel very fortunate our paths crossed.

And as I found out Sunday in the early light fog and light snow, the gun is hell on merganzers too.:rotf:

Mark that is awesome!
