Somehow, the "Gallant Grouse" that seem to elude us are the more memorable. We doff our hats to them and swear out a vengence against them for the next time we are brought together. There are literally hundreds at whom I have sworn time and again.... a vengence, that is...
And, Yes, I will shoot (at) grouse and woodcock with this great little Parker. And I will think of Adm. Perry when I bring it and try to imagine what his hunts must have been like... If only these old guns could talk
