Now It Begins - Needles and Pins
 

Grace and me and BIL Jamie are headed for Grouse Camp tomorrow...
but first, Kathy and I will be doing a bit of celebrating tonight on our 49th wedding anniversary.

Jamie shoots a really nice Trojan 16 with 26” barrels choked IC/MOD and it carries like a 00-frame 28 gauge it’s so light!

I’ll be giving my ‘new to me’ VHE 28 gauge Skeet gun a workout on its inaugural Tampico grouse and woodcock hunt... I hope. Rumor has it that bird numbers there seem to be holding their own... we’ll see.

Let’s see if Grace remembers anything... it might take a little refreshing her memory on my part.

Full report on a daily basis as it being at such an elevation that I get great cell service at camp.

Jenn and I will be toting a couple 16's both 0 frames and both under 5.5 pounds. the tri colored twins will make the season opener fun. Good luck to all and have FUN!:bigbye:

Congratulations Dean and Kathy on 49 years.
Wishing you success with Grace and the Skeet 28. Really looking forward to your pictures and daily reports. See you in a week.

and more importantly - congratulations on 49 years with a special Lady
(and high honors to her for putting up with you for that long)

I guess a grand toast will be in order at next years Vintagers for the 50th

Congrats on the anniversary. Hope you have a great hunt.
