Tragedy Averted

[OH Osthaus]

every now and then, you see a want to buy for a replacement

i used to wonder how someone could lose a forend

then - a few years ago my wife came in the house holding the forend for my very early DH and asked if it was important it was laying in the driveway and fortunately she had not run over it - I had just come home from a hunt with that gun - best I could guess is that I had set it aside when i cased the gun but obviously had not reattached it to the barrels and it must have fallen out of the back of the truck when I unloaded gear and dog.


other than that - for lost stuff - I used to joke you could ID my woodcock covers by the right hand shooting gloves hanging in the thick stuff

I did have a friend who left his cased pride and joy M12 heavy duck on a fender, got home and realized it was missing - drove back to his spot and found it safe in the middle of the dirt road
