Another Lefever score
We still have plenty of leaves on the trees, a very unusual year with lots of rain here in northeast PA. I finally got out to the mountains today with a Syracuse Lefever DS 16 bore that came out of NC earlier this fall, a 1912 gun. Also took my familiar Fox Sterlingworth Ejector 16 but was carrying the Lefever when I got this bird. Both are 26-inch guns. The bird was taken at a place I call "Lilac" where a big lilac survives next to an old fieldstone house foundation and remnants of a small barn way back in the woods. It was pretty warm this afternoon, 65-degrees. I hunted 5 hours, had three flushes and one shot. The Lefever is short-chambered and the grouse was taken with a RST Spreader, with a vintage Federal Hi Power paper 2-9/16" shell on standby in the left barrel. A tough bird to get at; it fell into a big patch of greenbrier on a steep side hill and it took me about 10 minutes to work in. Overall a memorable first hunt with the Lefever and her first shot fired at live game (for me).
Here are a few pics of the fantail and guns as well as some random ones taken while hunting - an old timber RR bed that runs through an unnamed cover, a place we call the "Bubble Up" and a small but legal buck on the move.
