Calvin: I may get there yet this year. The guy we hunt with and on North of Waukeeney was found dead last Friday in his home, same age as me 73 years nuts. If I get there which of these 20 gages do you want me to bring? (and I expect handicap points.)

Hummm well fox, smith, without a dought the grade 3 Parker. Sorry to here about your friend Lee. Guests shoot 1st.

David hurry before the snow melts. Have to look at map not sure where Smith Center is, I should know.

Calvin: The middle gun is the Pachmayr custom Purdey 3 bite action that was stocked by N.B. "Nubbs" Fashingbauer in the early 60's. It has a mate in the Cody Museum that is a 16 gage still owned by the Pachmayr Foundation. It weighs 5lb.9 oz. My grandson is coming home in December, 1 year after getting back from Afganistan as a paratrooper/sniper and is talking wanting to go hunting. He has a Kansas lifetime liscence. Maybe , just maybe, his mom will let go of him a couple days and we can come your way or Jetmore. Will call if at all possible. Lee.:bigbye:

Well it does not suprise me on the second gun my "self told me it was not a smith but I had to guess" really nice gun Lee. The guns you fellows have are something else.

Lee, that is one beautiful Fox!!

Yes, they were Charlie. Funny but I have not seen a bird in there this year. One would think that in a dry year there would be a lot in a great spot like that with water???
