This subject of 'no safety' would make a great article for our "Parker Pages" magazine.

Thanks for all the comments, esp. the one from Garry about Aldo Leopold & his Fox. I think it's a fascinating subject, but one I'm not comfortable with, YET..!

Exactly Wes, and that’s how I carry my hammer guns while hunting. I close the action when I step in to make the flush or when I know I’m in very close proximity to the bird - and always very in tune to my companion’s position at all tines.
