Remembering Austin Hogan

[Bruce Day]

This was in the case of a CH 10/12 that Austin gave me many years ago. I will take the 26” 10 ga with me pheasant hunting.

A few more of Austin - in the last two group pictures Austin is at the far right.

I was wondering where that 10 Gague 26" gun came from Bruce. That makes my mouth water at the thought of shooting late season pheasants with that gun.

[Richard Flanders]

I saw Bruce take a quail with it in Kansas a few years back.

The 10 gauge barrels for this number 2 framed CH are factory 26 inch and four blade Damascus. Both barrels are factory non choked cylinder. It is still a heavy gun, about 7 3/4 lbs, so I carry it a while then put it away. I have a case of 10’s from RST in 1 1/4 oz 5 shot and it makes most pheasant shots easy.

In the last few years I have been using a 7 lb Parker 12 ga 28” G top action hammer shot gun on much of my upland game hunting . I like the challenge of the external hammers.

I am heading north on Sunday for two to three weeks in the grouse woods then south to pheasant . Too warm here. I am taking some windshield de-icing fluid for Dick Dow. They don’t sell that stuff in SoCal, too many people there buy it for cheap alcohol and it would pollute the Los Angeles freeways.

Didn't the State of California find that it causes cancer in laboratory animals??

California certainly would prohibit anything that pollutes or causes cancer , except of course meth, cocaine, heroin, sewage on streets and garbage.

Hate to bother you with a request but would it be possibly be to see a couple pics of the CH 10 26” ? Thanks in advance !
