PHEASANT HUNTING
 

I came across this photo the other day. It shows my dad and his dog from around 1950. He hunted pheasant near Chico California. The best thing about the photo is that I still have and use the Duxbak vest and the Western Field pump shotgun . "THE GOOD OLD DAYS".

great picture am sure it means the world to you.

fine lookingfellow he appears to be a good shot too...he appears to be tall is he..old pictures of our loved ones are the best...charlie

Thanks Charlie and Daniel. The old photos of our loved ones mean so much. My father was 6' 0". He was quite a sportsman and used that same shotgun for all of his bird hunting.

I may have posted this before (my memory is very good, it's just short).
This my Dad and me on my first duck hunt on the Chester River on Maryland's eastern shore. Probably around 1955. Ducks were shot with his M31 Remington, which I still use as my duck gun today

Nice looking setter in the first photo. What's his story? Was that your Dad's dog?

big D thats a fine picture did you get to kill a duck that day...charlie

Nope. Too young. Did fire the gun in the direction of a huge raft of ducks 400 yards away, in the hopes of getting them to move. They were drawing most of the ducks to them. PS, it didn't work
