When it is so cold I'd need a glove on my right hand, I'm in the club house drinking coffee!!

Reading Foster's chapter on grouse guns this morning, I found it ironic that he was slightly to the plus side of neutral on the subject of ejectors, but also spoke of the phenomenon I am all too familiar with; that of returning home to only need to clean the right barrel.
In the thick covers of northern New England, firing a second shot in quick succession to the first is rarely at a second bird, and not a frequent second shot at the same bird.
I would never deny the absolute joy carrying a nice side by side brings me, and cannot ever see myself wandering those woods with my favorite model 12. I usually grumble something nasty when I hear the distant 3,4 and occasional 5 round volley of some yAhoo unloading his autowhatever.
When I do break my favorite grouse gun, I am usually reflecting on the beautiful flush I either hit or missed, and do not ever recall a sense of urgent reloading. It could be that I'm getting older and just enjoying these walks more and more.

Well said Mr. Spencer. Hunting for sustenance is no longer necessary for most of us. The true objective is what you point out: Reflection, beauty and peace.

Not volume of fire.

Or loading down the game bag...

My wife expects that when I spend time away from her and the two year old, I bring home a full game bag (haha). We put quail on our table many nights during quail season. However, I would always sacrifice a full game bag vs ever shooting an autowhatever. Right barrel always dirty over here.
