Destry,
I would like very much to do a christmas hunt. We are presently building some new digs on the property and should be in by hunting season. I very much would like to sit down with you one evening and talk with you about guns. As I grow older I find myself with a growing interest in these double guns. Also I would like to speak with you about the model 11's as I have inherited my father 16ga. Look very much forward to sharing time in the duck blind. Hope for blue skies and light winds. |

Don,
I actually had those ejectors taken out years ago. They were actually Parker ejectors but installed by Lefever in NY in the early 50's. They didn't work, had never worked apparently, and the shells sat so low in the gun when you opened it that you had to keep a fingernail grown long to get them out. An old gunsmith over in Marble Hill, MO turned the gun back into an extractor for me. Maybe not a perfect job but it sure made it easier to unload the thing. It's been a long road with this one and I've still not seen the end. I should probably just sell it off for parts to end the pain once and for all. *laughs* Tom, We'll get together for sure, I'll give you a ring to set something up. Was sorry to hear about your father's passing, he was a grand old fella. Destry

Destry,
You think you feel bad how do you think us guys down south feel? I do not know whats been going on this year but in years past those big honkers were everywere, now you see them everyonce in awhile. It seems that they got tired of the hot weather and went North. Hopefully you'll have a good opening day. At least I have dove season to look forward to. Opening day is this Saturday and I can't wait. Dove's haven't been flying much around here but im going about an hour and half south of me for my opening day hunt. Good Luck my friend |

Looks like no geese for me tomorrow, all my leads have played out to nothing. I might try a pass shooting venture at a place I know, just to say I was out.

Is it safe to assume it's those pesky little birds you'll be pass shooting at?

It's pretty close quarters, the spot I'm thinking of, so unless I'm real careful it might not just be......

If anybody is curious, I can sum up my mornings shooting with a single word: Nuthin'
