That made me think of my much younger years. My Dad took me hunting from the time I could walk - a bit to my mother's consternation. I eventually was allowed to be a gun bearer - hauling a shotgun just in case it was needed while Dad had the rifle for deer, moose or elk or hauling a rifle just in case it was needed while Dad had the shotgun for ducks, geese, grouse or pheasants. I found my load to be heavy yet was longing for the day I could get a licence. When that day came, I was allowed the VH, which, for the first time for me, had the added weight of two high brass blue CIL Imperial shot shells in it. I vividly recall just how "light" that gun became that year.
Cheers,
