Hmmm...First guy, eh? We need to time stamp all of our purchases and compare. I'll bet I can give you and Dean a run for your money on this.

And I had been saying that I really didn’t need any more guns.
So here I am in central Missouri where there are no more wild bobwhite , right ? And I’m doing some rusty pilot instruction at the local rural airport , we taxi out and turn into the wind for the run up, I look back and here is a covey of 10 quail lined up and crossing the taxiway by where we had just come . Maybe they are back , it sure looked wonderful. Now if we could only get gentlemanly quail hunting, fine bird dogs and civility back around the nation’s capital, maybe things could improve. I’ve been reading the book about the Kavanaugh hearings. |

Colt
Bruce I think we would get along just fine on a bird hunt no matter what. I've been hunting with a guy since 6th grade, he retired from the outdoor desk of Houston Chronicle newspaper after 35 years. He was the protege for Bob Brister whom I had the pleasure of having several mixed hunts with. What a grand gentleman. Anyhow Joe Doggett and I still bang a few caps together and we never fail to be in a situation where one bows to the other. Is that still alive today? I'm certainly instilling that in my 16 old grandson whom I just wrote about in PP. Anyhow more than you want to know but tell Josh to be on the lookout for DHB while he is cruising the aisles!!! Your Colt is a real trophy piece and my God with your initials. I'm hunting for a Remington 1894 C grade if you cross over one but forget the initials! Good hunting to you this year. I shall tell a tale of a Laminated barrel Lifter in the Dove fields this year. This gun is 140 years old seems like it should have retired by now but that's not the case if you live in my gun cabinet. Best David
