20 plus flushes within two days of hunting this past wkn. North of london. Covered almost 10 miles of cover. One tired dog. 9 birds spread along a few good buddies. Always a humbling experience when you missed more then you harvest:)
Tuesday, 1.5 hours after work. Moved 2 woodcock and 5 Evil Southern Grouse.

Looks like I'll miss the best of it this year what with work and trials. Leave some for me. ;)

Nothing so interesting, I'm afraid. Its actually 20ga. Ithaca SKB Model 100, which someone prior to me spent some dollars customizing: English grip stock with fancier walnut and hollowed out, CCH colours (presumably cyanide method) and the factory Ray-bar bead replaced with an ivory and brass bead, the kind of which I've never seen before. I have reason to believe the work was done in the '80's by Frank Ryan of Frontier Gun in Fonthill. Best $300 gun show purchase I've ever made! :)
Absolutely nothing wrong with that, the birds are testament it works perfectly fine. I have a moderately priced Spanish SxS that comes up as smooth and shoots as straight as an English bespoke.
October 27, 2016, Oro-Medonte. Snow started this morning. Hoping to get out after work for one more short hunt before the birds leave tonight.
