First hunt with the 20 bore Sterly
I had a Red Letter Day recently when I snagged (two) nice Sterlingworth small bores at the Allentown/Forks gun show. One was a 20 bore two-barrel set 26 & 30 inchers from a friend who gave me first dibs on her. Yesterday was her first grouse hunt with the 26-inch #2 barrels. I always have some high brass 4's with me when turkey season is open. Yesterday it was a mixed bag, both on opportunity and the grey fox is the next step for a A Fox Gets the Game diorama for my room. She's a vixen and weighed 14-1/4 pounds on a baby scale. Only flushed a pair of grouse all day and both rocketed into the hemlocks. Oh well, another Red Letter day!
