Default New to me VH 20

I went to New Hampshire grouse hunting and a Parker followed me home. Reportedly a Turnbul restoration. Looked brand new until I dragged it around the grouse woods for 4 days.

Thanks Russ. I carried it most of the week. I think we’re going to be hunting buddies. Grouse numbers are down this year where we were hunting but we moved a few every day. We did have pretty good woodcock numbers but not many flight birds yet. We heard there were a fair amount of flight birds 50 miles north of us. The best cover we had was my little ES had 14 woodcock finds in just under 2 hours. We had another cover where one of the dogs 12 woodcock finds and 6 grouse finds in 90 minutes.
