Now Charlie you oughhta know "Jap Deer" ain't politically correct :rotf:

The season in Maryland is same as the whitetails . On Chincoteague the gun season starts the first or second week of december .

Hopefully we get drawn for Chincoteague we haven't hunted there in two or three years I think . Usually myself and another fellow go , but we may have a couple others talked into going . We can have five people in our area if we get drawn .

Oh yeah 00 and 000 are the only ones technically "legal" on Chincoteague . But since all mine are reloads well you know :whistle:

Craig,

Thanks for the photos of your 10 gauge muzzle. Your barrels and mine do look alike so I am going to stop worrying about the barrels being cut.

Thanks again,

Dennis

You are quite welcome !

Charlie I "might" be heading to southeastern Arkansas in late january early february . And if I go this coming year I'll more then likely drive a seperate vehicle so might be able to stop by for a visit !

Only thing that'll stop me from heading that way is logistics or funds as I'm tentativly going to the Philippines february the 15th if nothing major goes wrong !

craig hope you get to come by..we ll dosome serios talking about old guns for sure..we mite get a short hunt in for squirl or deer or even shoot the famous dr pepper can... ya ll come.... charlie

For you 10 gauge Elsie lovers. The top gun is my Grade 3 10 gauge very early Fulton with chain Damascus 30" bbls and the bottom gun is my Pigeon Grade 10 gauge with 30" Nitro barrels---one of 4 10's and the only one made with 30" bbls. They are the pride and joy of my Elsie collection.

By no means are my Smith's replacing my Parker's or english made guns . But since getting that old beat up Smith 10 I've found a whole new respect for the name :whistle:

And by the way your two look very nice !
