Nice! What were you hunting…and where?

I grew up shooting my grandfathers/dad's 16 ga VH. Still have it. Larry DelGrego restocked it for me some 12 or more yrs ago as my grandfather ordered it with far too much drop for me and the stock was pretty punky from yrs of oil on it. 16s still rule in my book on grouse and quail.

Todays images are from a brief bit of rest after a long push in the grouse woods on one of my old labs last hunts.

Nice gun, beautiful labs, although I'm a setter guy, I appreciate lab's.
It is so bitter sweet hunting our old dogs, we always want one more hunt, one more season with them.

Very pretty gun! Looks like Bacheldor case colors. Who did the restoration?

The late great Dr. Oscar Gaddy addressed the case colors after this family gun was passed along.
