Whatever we call it, we all know what part of the gun it is.
Woodcock / timberdoodles / bog-suckers / bug-eye / "little russet fellers" / mudbats.....
Shotgun / fowling piece / scattergun / side-by-side / over-under....
Ruffed grouse / "The King" / partridge / pa'tridge / pattiges / pat'idge / pats / thunder chickens...
We know what all of those terms mean.

George King, "That's Ruff", 2010 - a timeless classic.
