Lotsa hunter orange- also open breeched guns- all part of safe gun handling, especially in a larger group of guys. I observed both Setter(s) and at least one black Lab-- just curious, do you fellows hunt both pointing and flushing dogs together, or do you alternate depending on the cover, weather and the stamina of both hunters and their dogs??
I've seen a few fine looking Parker hammer guns, and the engraved fences and the fishtailed top lever are elegant, to say the least. A 16- rebarreled with proof steel tubes- huum- might have to try one at a clays shoot someday- but then, I'd just want to own one all the more-- Road to perdition and all that--
Didn't see former Veep Richard Cheney in the mix- his invite must have gotten "lost in the mails" perhaps
