Yes they still have the gun night however it was before we got there. I was told it was quite well received. It would have been fun to part take in. I had brought my favorite Parker 12 DHE on the light frame in the 172xxx serial range, in addition to the 28 repro.
One of the guides was very interested in the older Parker’s and double guns in general, however he used a French gun of which I cannot remember the name.
It seemed that there was a mix of very new hunters and much more experienced hunters. I think all the groups had a guide and some brought there own dogs as well. It took me a year to get something lined up.
This year was an exceptional year for grouse, lots of birds.
As for us it was the first time I had gone grouse and woodcock hunting in almost 20 years with trained dogs. The guide used 3 dogs, 2 setters and 1 Brittany. We hunted each one for about 1 to 2 hours and covered a lot of coverts in a day.
This was my first trip to Grants, we lined up the guide first and he hunted out of Grants.
