Well Charlie after thinking about it a bit longer as I sit here surrounded by my Llewellin Setter, fine Parker, Fox and Lefever bird guns I have come to realize what we have lost with our youth is more than compensated for by experience and style we have acquired through the years. I am content in believing that it is an even trade.

steve i never thought of it that way.. we all have more good things to look after such as parkers and lc smith and even a few old stevens as we got older...but a little youth to go along with these things would be ok too....well back too the squirl guns i still like the old 10 ga and thats what i will be totin this coming week end... charlie

charlie, I'm pleased you still carry the heavy guns. I've been looking to the lighter ones for the last 10 years. This year will be different, though, because my shabby 2-frame VH 12 was restocked beautifully by newf and, with just-right blue and colour for its age and wear, it will be first in the blind this year.

king i like the small gauges and the light weight but they just dont have the ..i really cant explain it... hope you do well in the blind i know that 12 ga will do its part...its hard to beat a 12 ga all the way around....ive killed my share of game with the 12 ga... charlie

You're right, charlie. Light is easier when older but heavier is better.

Setter man how about a picture of that 32 flint or cap. Dean excellent!!!

[C.O.B.]

I like my upland guns fast and light and a 16 is a big gun for me and haven't used a 12 in the field (other than a grade 3 hammer gun for one Goose hunt last year) for years.

As hunting Tree Rats is a good tune up for deer season my weaponary runs the gamut from light to big to really big. I'm working up loads for a 257Roberts, 300 H&H and my 375 H&H. I have a great 325gr load already for the 416Taylor

You'll have to take a rain check. I left her down in Indiana to have a little cosmetic stock work done. Can't believe I am the only one on this board who chases tree-rats with a front-stuffer. I just love the way the smoke hangs in the air of a cool morning woods.

Setter Man:

Occasionally, I also use a front-loader. It's a 24 bore flintlock fowler - based on a French fusil. It was aged by the previous owner to look like a 200+ year old original. The patterns aren't too great, and the frizzen is getting soft - but that sure makes it a challenge !
