The project 16, a PH 16 O frame, with 26 in cut twist barrels, unique Selous plates, and killer wood for a grade1.
Carried it today for the 1st time in the grouse woods. Killed the 1st 2 I shot at.My 8 yr old setter Fancy pointed them.

Great times you're having out there, Harold.
As for your gun: with character like that, what it doesn't have, it doesn't need!

It is very dry up here, but Temps are ok now
Could use some rain which would also give e us a little break/rest. My son is coming in tonight for his first ever Upland trip. Terry leaving in the morning for home. Wolves were howling last night.

Coyotes were howling pretty close to camp last night.
We watched a guy setting coyote traps yesterday afternoon in the field below camp. He marks his traps with a flag so we know to keep dogs away. This morning there is a coyote in a trap about 400 yards below camp. If I had a .22 with me I might walk down and end the critter’s suffering but it’s not legal to mess with anyone’s traps or the animals they catch, so… .

Killed 3 with 3 right barrels this evening over Doodle, she nicely retrieved them all. Using the Manton hammer 20 with 30 in barrels. Even when your not at work, you're at work took this deer tick off my buddies eyelid margin this morning. Had surgical tweezers with me.

I always assumed you would be a good companion on a hunt. Now here’s another reason why.
