For those who did not see my earlier post - Here is the backstory on sandhill double -

Back from Canada (outside Regina) - good hunt in damp weather - on and off rain throughout. Had opportunities for Ducks Geese and Sandhills and made good on them. My 3 frame 32" DHE combined with KM #3 1 1/14 oz. really reached out when needed on big birds. The 32" VHE was deadly on ducks and a couple Canadas.
I had much fun watching my hunting friends fluster with the lodge issued jam-o-matics. Of course my Parker's were flawless - as expected. A couple pics of crane decoy spread and 3 frame in a barley field.

I purchased the gun from a much respected member of this forum. My good friend Craig located it for me after a multi year search. I am lucky to have it.

Dean beat me to the punch as that is exactly what I was thinking, you are lucky to have it. I have never shot a 3 frame 12 but I do like heavy target guns. Sounds like I could get used to that one.
