Great Grandfathers 1919, Winchester 1897 12ga and my 10yo Springer Thor. This was my dads only shotgun for most of my youth and with his passing this spring it's now in my care. Just a wonderful shooter.

Tim, that's a great looking old pump gun. It always impresses me when someone shares what a father's gun means to them. You are lucky! By the way cool Spaniel and the ditch parrots do make an impressive picture. Thanks for posting...Geo

Good pic, Tim. 1919 is a special year to me, too. Grandaddy bought this farm that year, and moved into this house I'm living in. We will celebrate 100 years of farming this land and enjoying this old house in 4 short years, God willing.
Thanks for posting, SRH

Lucy and I with a limit of ND roosters. Great trip, lots of birds. Cold and windy the first 2 days and just beautiful the second two days. A small slice of heaven. I'll be back.

Looks good Steve. Background reminds me of where I used to hunt in ND just across the border from Pollock, SD. Roughly where in the state were you?

Hi all, went out today with my boy Will and our buddy Joel. It was an interesting day to say the least! The wind was terrific. 25mph sustained and gusts into the 30's. Made hunting tough, birds were spooky, couldn't hunt some of our normal spots, just plain crappy. However, the company was great, Joel as usual was his happy go lucky self and told some great stories. Always a joy to hunt with him, sure wish more folks were like him! Anyway, Will did manage a bird and we both tag teamed one, so we did get a couple. Raina did well, getting better with her pointing. All in all a good day! Will with his 12ga Fabarm and Joel with his 12ga Sarriugarte Best! Greg

Thanks Greg and Will. Even though I didn't get a shot and the wind was horrendous, it was still a great day. I didn't realize it until I looked at the pic............I need a SHAVE.
