I hunted them with a 10gauge DH 3 frame a few years ago. Would love to do it again with a hammer gun...

You went to Carolina and got a tundra swan correct ? How were they as table fare ?

They have a Sandhill Crane season in KS ?

Sandhill Crane are so much better than Tundra Swan. Though I would gladly hunt both again.

I was hunting the Kansas/Oklahoma boarder for Sandhill Crane. It was a lot of fun and I would like to go back. One of the best eating birds...

That sounds like fun Jay,
we may have to discuss this further, and yes, everything done with a hammer gun is more fun

Here are a few pictures of my #3 frame, top lever 12, which was shipped in 1885 to E.E. Menges in Kansas City, MO. 30 in Damascus barrels, 8lb 9 oz, IC/M—the gun letters as 9 lbs, F/F

I also took this gun to the Vintagers in the fall of '23 at Warrington and had issues with the trigger pull, discussed in this thread https://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41055
