Puglisi has some guns on display here at the RGS hunt in Minnesota. Am told they did NOT buy the TR gun. As for their Parker hammer guns: the market is soft so they just put them away, waiting for the market to recover. They still have them all.

Hi Richard. How's the hunting? Did you guys get to the Ruffed Grouse Sanctuary at Shannon Lake / Sturgeon River? That is the area I have been hunting for the past 35 years. Yeah, Puglisi has a lot of hammer guns, especially Lifters. Cheers!

good hunting but way too hot for the dogs. Lots of young woodcock and ruffies around. We hunted up north of Effie two days ago. Main hunt starts tomorrow. I have the only damascus gun here for sure...

Geez Rich, watch out it don't BLOW UP on ya :shock:

Oh, I be careful Dean. I brought nice light low P handloads for it....

Richard, how is the hunting? I managed to get a Ruffie yesterday. It seems they have been laying low for the past few days. I see some strange things when I am walking. Yesterday, at about 10:30, I started up a trail and saw brake lights, then back-up lights! It was a fairly new Cavalier. This guy had a heckuva time backing out of the trail. Maybe the long neck beer bottle in his console cup holder had something to do with it. I just laughed at him. He really did a number on his paint. I wouldn't take my Dodge Ram down that trail, let alone my wife's Cavalier! It is amazing what guys here will subject their vehicles to when they're a-huntin' "partridge"! Cheers!
