A rare and wonderful grouse season
 

This was one of a handful years, in my more than fifty years of grouse hunting, where we had no significant snow through seasons end AND, were blessed with a high grouse population.

As a result, the hunting was very good.

I took my setter, and Parker on many “long dog walks with a gun” and, those walks resulted in lots of chances to walk in on point and take a crack at a bird.

It was a rare and wonderful grouse season.

You were indeed blessed...

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pics with us! Tell us about your Parker.

Wonderful!

1925 VHE 20 bore “0” frame. 28” barrels choked .003 & .005. Restocked at some point to modern dimensions including a 15” lop which is ideal for me.

It was gifted to me by a hunting friend many years ago.

It’s a reliable old gun, that is never at fault, when I miss a grouse l!

What a great friend you must have. Those dimensions sound are right up my alley. :D

Beautiful dog! Thank you for taking us along.

English setters and grouse are a classic combination.

I’ve had several over the years and, I really like them.
