Default Grouse Hunting - Gunning with the Old Pats Society

The COVID - 19 virus self quarantine and work from home status has given me the opportunity to read Grouse Hunting - Gunning with the Old Pats Society by Art Wheaton again. Each chapter of the book presents and unique and interesting story. Art's writing style makes me feel as if I am sitting at the table after dinner hearing these stories for the first time. If you do not have a copy of this book or have not read it recently I would highly recommend you pick up this book a read for a wonderful experience.

Thanks for the identifications Art - I was thinking of taking a stab at it but I really only recognized a bit more than half of them.

Wow, 8 Parker 28ga guns and 5 with straight grips. Looks like 7 VH's and a DH ? Sure don't see a group of 28's like that every day. Thanks for posting Dean.

Also just saw that every straight grip has a single trigger.
