Yes, and I missed a bunch.

While we are at it, here is a look back at Harry's first hunt compared to now. They grow fast.

There's actually liquid water somewhere on the planet??? :eek:

I have a grade 3 “cannon breach” Ithaca flues 12 waterfowl gun with a straight stock. It has 3” chambers, but I have been leary of shooting that hot of a load from it. I might have to try!

I've owned my Super-Fox two-barrel set since the summer of 1963. It shot a lot of ducks and geese in the first forty seasons I owned it. This Pintail on 29 October 2002, is the last fowl I shot with it --

I then fell in with the English setter crowd and it has been all upland hunting since then.

Understandable David

Upland hunting was my first passion -I fell for grouse as I kid when I first flushed one in an overgrown field- but I hunted mostly ducks for a while for nearly a decade in the late 80's /early 90's because a good friend knew I wanted a hunting dog and gave me a golden retriever that turned out to be an outstanding dog.

It had been setters all the way since she retired and I still have one. But with the decline of grouse and woodcock populations and getting a chance to join in with a great group of serious waterfowl hunters I proudly call friends - a Super seemed to be the proper way to go. And I added another golden to the family

It still about tradition and doing it right
