Unusual grouse gun for sure
 

For fall turkey I decided to use a 8 gauge hammer with a 4 shot load in one barrel and a 7 1/2 shot in the other, just in case I had a chance at a Blue grouse while hunting in the Arizona mountains. Well, a shot at a grouse presented itself and I was lucky enough to connect. After a few days of hunting, the 8 gauge was wearing me out so I switched to a 12 gauge hammerless. It truly felt as light as a 410.

I can’t even imagine hunting grouse with an 8...

Wayne I cannot even begin to imagine carrying an 8 gauge hunting. My initial guess is that the 410 felt light due to the fact that your hands and arms were numb from carrying the 8 gauge. All kidding aside, congrats! Beautiful gun and a great picture
