Newfoundland grouse with 16 gauge O frame VH
Spending a few days with Chris Dawe in Newfoundland grouse hunting. Today we were outside Gander where we hiked 10.5 miles and brought 11 birds to wing. I was quite the terrible shot firing 7 shells with 2 legitimate chances and nothing to show for it. Chris connect with this beautiful mature male late in the day. He used a VH 16 ga O frame with 28" barrels and a straight stock. I was a tree killer with my VHE 16 gauge 1 frame 28" that Chris just complete a full restoration on. Benny, Chris's 4 year old English setter, did all the hard work. He is one handsome dog and excellent hunter.
I fix the crooked picture later!!!
