Hunting Season is Coming

Bruce Day · 08-01-2009, 08:22 AM

In anticipation of the coming season during the dog days of summers, I thought I would show a few pictures from seasons past.

Nebraska opener. Ducks and prairie chickens. Charlie's all around hunting gun is a 28" VHE 12ga, mine is the top 12ga GHE damascus.

Middle picture is three CHE 20ga's. A little light for pheasant under windy and far conditions so they were left in the cabin.

Last picture is the gang planning a Kansas drive-by. Other places have their Crips and their Bloods. We have the Oranges.

Second picture down is an A grade hammer lifter. Not too many people have seen the few with this grip carving.

The big windy. The first picture is Dick Dow's outstanding C grade 12ga hammer underlifter, one of the best. Next you will see Mark Vollinger's black and white setter. It was such a game hog we had to keep it penned. Then my 20ga DHE 20, Dick's 12ga DHE and Dick's Galazan Fox 20. Finally, our Australian member at a little out of the way store in the Ree Hills of South Dakota, an original convenience store run by the owner now in her late 80's.

My defense against aggressive pheasants for next season. I'm following Ruark's advise to use enough gun.

A light 10. 1899 CH with 26" IC and IC barrels on a 2 frame. This is an original two barrel set; the others are heavy fowling 12ga Bernards.

Bruce, Thanks for the great pics!! Now if only our patience holds out, in a few weeks here in PA, we'll be chasing these sky rats.
