On a geographical exercise of near epic proportions, I was able to find, in the dark, 6th Street in Channing Michigan. A single light cast a faint glow on a silent figure in a leather lounger. I was about to meet Rich for the first time and it happened to be grouse season. Crazy Daisy was wary of a strange character arriving but warmed soon enough to another dog person who also smelled a bit of Hoppes. We had good conversation and a night cap or two and a hearty breakfast. (there was a brief sleep between night caps and breakfast). The woods were glorious and the grouse abounded but not particularly close enough. That did change and it was a memorable time. So much so, another trip happened a couple years later.
The second trip saw me have the opportunity to handle (not shoot) Gunner's Gun. To have that gun in hand is a whole different experience even than viewing these amazing pictures. It is truly a wonderful gun and a tribute to a great dog that I can only wish I could have met.
Hope the grouse are cooperating with you Rich.
Cheers,
Jack
