Nice C Garry!
What gauge and what frame size? I have one just like it, 1-frame 12 gauge, 30” Bernard barrels. Mine will be on display in the Parker/Elsie tent later this week. .

I’ll be sure to look for your gun when we visit the tent on Friday. I really like Bernard Steel.

Pat, it’s the first bird I’ve taken on our farm in several years. Like you noted in another post, Missouri population is down.

Ya, birds around my place, are maybe 20% of what they were 10 years ago. There are still pockets of good populations throughout the state, but over all they are way down.
