Remembering Austin Hogan

[Bruce Day]

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.
