My grouse guns are a 20 bore GH, a 20 bore PHE, my grandfather's 20 bore VH and a 28 bore Holland and Holland. I can't tell the difference in birds brought to bag with the 20's vs. the 28 bore. The 28 bore was my favorite grouse gun for years but now most days I take the PHE.

Please charge the batteries in the boys collars and your hearing aids. No more nightmare stories. That gave me nightmares.

I ALWAYS carry extra hearing aid batteries and even bought a GPS collar. I don't want to go thru that again either. Ike just turned three yesterday and Duke will be two in a couple of weeks. I'll miss my 5 weeks in the U.P. but long weekends and my off week the end of October will give me almost 10 continuous days. Once again I'll celebrate my birthday with the dogs, a fine cigar and a good bourbon in the U.P.

Hope the weather cools off for you. It is going to be in the upper 40's here tonight. Was going to call you tomorrow, but looks like you may be out hunting. Will be up there the last 2 weeks of Oct, and trying to u there for a 3-4 day hunt before that--along way to go for a short hunt, but going to try.
Terry and I have decided to bring the 28's also--he has a beretta 687, and me, my Uggie 28

Harold I'll be there the 23 or 24 of October whatever day is Friday to the 2 or 3 of November. I'll need to shut her down by the first Tuesday in November.

Here’s the deal for me like everyone on this site I love shotguns I have since I was 10 yrs old I have guns in all gauges I like to hunt with sxs’s but also have a16 ga model 97 that I like to take out for sharp tail grouse I purchased some 1 1/4 oz no 4&5’s win mark 5’s that are deadly on pheasants and sharptails at longer yardage I also have a 1919 gh Parker 20ga 26” bbl Damascus gun I use it for ruffed grouse partridge and other smaller birds I do have a 28 ga browning model 12 just because I like it and a 1948 model 42 I shoot all of these from time to time there are a few others in the safe as well . All this being said if I had to have one gun it would be my 1928 vhe 1 1/2 frame 30 “bbl gun I load bismuth and lead for it 7/8” oz and 1 oz lead for up land same payload as the small gauges and 1 1/8 oz bismuth for waterfowl I shoot this gun like a laser . When I was a young man in the 70’s I hunted everything with a 28”bbl modified choked model 12 plain field gun and always came home with my share of game and usually helped with my partner s share . Beware of the man with one gun . Sorry for rambling

I just remembered one more Parker that will get a bit of exercise in the grouse covers soon - the little 20 gauge Trojan I bought from Russ Jackson recently for my granddaughters. The little sweetie comes up so nicely it’l be hard to give it away.

"hard to give away".... Oh Please, you and Edgar can talk that hardline, but you guys are too shrewd. Lets see Martha gets a Reproduction and next thing you know she's locating 24" 28ga from early production. There is no better investment than in the future users of things we hold dear. WTG grandpa!
