Thank You Dean It was a joy to watch and listen. It is the best hunting story, with out a doubt, that I like to reread every few months just to remind me why I love the outdoors so much. Thomas

Corey Ford's Best!!
I believe the shotgun Frank is carrying a is a 12 Trojan, possibly with a rubber recoil pad. Only I man who lived to fly fish and hunt grouse as a gentleman should hunt them like the late Corey Ford did could create such a masterpiece. I have this story in my book "The Best of Corey Ford", which also contains his equally great "Letter To A grandson"-- I did not notice any mention of what make and gauge shotgun Frank had in the original story, nor any mention about 4 hunting partners. My impression of Frank was that he was a bachelor, like Uncle Perk Perkins in the "Lower Forty" series, who lived with his possibly unmarried sister, and his Setter was his whole life- that and grouse come October--

The Parker in the video is a 12 gauge GH and it belongs to Legh Higgins who also owns the setter, "Coronation's Duke of Earl" and the Filson jacket that "Frank" is wearing.
