[TARNATION !!!]

Charlie: I know they eat sage, sage and more sage. These were taken in a sage flat that was miles and miles of nothin' but sage.

Calvin: Still got it and that's the one that got me into PGCA and ultimately doublegunitis. Dad figured gloves just got in the way, unless it was really cold.

[Blind Dog]

Jack, I have found that if my hands don't get cold with any gloves that are useable with a DT shotgun, it's not unbearable without them.

[TARNATION !!!]

Back in the day, a much younger me, got by without gloves - but then there was no snow for me on this day. These Sage grouse were "Savaged". Still have the 755A as well.

Not surpriseing since there were no established populations during Audubon's life.

The Audubon work was intended to present North American native birds to British and European learned society . Pheasants of course are not native to North America.

Audubon spent time in Ste. Genevieve, MO, but there are no reports of him shooting with the famous bird hunting Herzog clan of the area.

Nice photo Jack. No matter how much I exercise and how slim I stay, I still don't look like I did in my 20's. Maybe its time for a hair transplant and a face lift.
