King you might not have Grouse but from what I'm hearing the Quail numbers are up this year in TX. As much as I love Grouse hunting there is no bust on Mr. Bob White. If you ever want to give Grouse hunting a try your welcome to join me in Michigan's Upper peninsula for some excellent bird hunting.
For all you guys that use a hammer gun to hunt with my hats off to you. I tried it by myself on a preserve Pheasant hunt and found it very frustrating. The shells fell out of the open gun (I even tried biting them so they were somewhat out of round. I think I read that trick here). Cocking the hammers on the rise wasn't possible and finally cocked them when the dog went on point. The problem with that was the birds would run then Im going after a it with a cocked gun

I'll leave my hammer guns to the clays course
