Chris, my 1913 28 inch 16 gauge Sterlingworth is my constant hunting companion for over 30 years. I've hunted with Parkers, L. C. Smith, LaFever and multiple English doubles but my Sterlingworth is always my first choice. You have handled this gun many times! It'll be the last shotgun I own.

PS: Hope to see you in late October.

I believe i recall having that gun in my hands Scott. I've traded mine to Dave Miller 3 times over the past few years. I asked for it back last year. It's not my nicest, but like you, its my go to, my best. Along with it, I'll bring another Sterly straight stock 16 with 30" barrels this Saturday. Traded Dave for it last year. Parkers are great, but a Fox just feels like the perfect fit! I'll see you in my garage soon. We'll see what's new in the safe!

Great pics and a great hunt !

Thank you Gary, I can hardly wait for tomorrow! My Fox arsenal is ready to go!

Chris, you really know how to make a good hunt — friends (two and four-legged), good guns, and fast flying birds…followed by a gourmet meal. Congratulations.

Chris, what do you put on your birds when you grill them?

Thx Garry, I enjoy viewing and reading about your hunts always.
Mike, I pour alittle extra virgin olive oil on them, sprinkle with Worcester sauce, sprinkle Montreal seasoning and lemon pepper on them, add sea salt. Wrap in foil, cook on grill on low. When almost done, remove from foil, put on grill for a few minutes, then put back in the foil with the juices to marinate before eating.

Thanks Chris, just another quail recipe for my arsenal. :clap:

Certainly, a sweet hunt. Gerat time with family. So very lucky to have this sweet spot to hunt. Plenty of birds, flying continuously. Fun, fun, fun.

Thank you,
Chris, for finding this awesome spot, thank you Jim, and all farmers for allowing us to hunt on your farms.

You're welcome Mike. I did forget to mention i spread alittle Kroger brand steak sauce on them when they hit the grill for a few minutes. Then I put them back in the foil and juices before serving.
