Default 15 plus 15 equals 50?

Moving that many birdies, 15 woodcock and 15 grouse this early, with warm weather and heavy foilage- bodes well for later in Oct. when the "Autumn weather, turns the woods to flame, one hasn't got time, for the slow trigger game"-- with apologies to Johnny Mercer & Co.

Maybe the other 20 birdies were snipe? I saw and handled Eric's fine 16 DHE at the July Lapeer clays event- straight stock? if memory serves. I'm not a grouse or woodcock hunter nowadays, but I'd love to have a Parker like Eric's in my hot little hands for a week of Southern quail and dove shooting- makes you wonder how a man could ever miss with a fine gun like that--
