I was heading back to Scotland last September for a big go round with the wood pigeons. But then unexpectedly had to move house and that depleted available funds. Sadly they dont get good till the oilseed rape starts to come off in late August.

When I grow up, I want to be Destry.

For anyone new to the Forum, it's been awhile since we've heard from Destry. He has hunted everywhere, literally. I met Destry about 20 years ago at my first PGCA Annual Meeting in Ohio. We had been communicating through the Parker web-site but came face to face at the hotel bar the first night of the gun show. Wound up sharing a room. He never has paid me for his half. We've had many great adventures since then. The Kimble vs. Bogardus matches at the Southern, goose hunting on the eastern shore and live pigeon shooting at the Philadelphia Gun Club courtesy of Don Kaas. I've bought some great stuff from him and he's given me some great stuff. Wonderful guy. Normally I would say gentleman but .............
