Default Grouse Guns

As October approaches the quest for the "perfect" Grouse gun intensifies. Let me say right off there is NO perfect Grouse gun. This is a myth perpetrated by the gun writers, advertisers and manufacturers who tout sleek small bore guns with straight grips, slender splinter forearms and short open choked barrels.

There is a benefit to the myth of the perfect Grouse gun and that is that the quest will never end and the result is more Grouse guns in the safe.

I'll be heading to the Upper Peninsula next week for the month of October and I'll be taking 9 Grouse guns. The guns of Autumn will include 2 16's, 2 28's and 5 20's. There should be at least one "perfect" gun in the bunch
