Incidentally, the GH I pictured is 76084, an 1892 gun so perhaps the long-tailed birds are not really pheasants at all...?

Men -

Following this thread got me to thinking about "looking back dogs" - did they too start to become scarce at the end of the H. Gough era? My H. Gough (1890) gun is the only one I have with them I believe..........????
