I hunted an area yesterday that is about as boggy as anywhere I've hunted. It was the second time I hunted it this year and both times it wore me slap out. I think I will be spending the rest of this season in a couple of places that are a little easier on my aging body. Snipe, what is that shotgun? I was going to comment on that gun also. I have a Birmingham boxlock very much like it only with a scolloped action with a bit more engraving coverage. It is an extractor gun with a Greener-type crossbolt. Mine has Birmingham proofs, but the only other markings on it are the name A. Mathers, Dundee. It was re-stocked by a stockmaker in Canada before I acquired it and he put flutes in the comb. It is a 1930's Belgian guild gun. It is my lightest 20 gauge gun at 5 lbs, 8 oz. with a 14 1/2" stock and 28" barrels. Nothing fancy, just a no frills extractor gun that seems to shoot close enough to where I point it and is light to carry. The gun I shot the first few times I hunted this year was a fairly light 6 lbs, 2 oz but those ten less ounces feel like a couple of pounds after a few hours of tromping around in a swamp in Florida weather in waders. Skip Beautiful gun Skip!!!!

Raimey,
I see the squirrel, the woody, the quail and the snipe............... but what the heck is that hairy thing hanging near the end of the barrels?
And tell us about the bleached rack on the buck in the second pic.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Stan: Y'all boys don't miss anything do you. According to Federal GW 3 1/2 year old 9 & 10 point faltered about 1 month ago in an area with a diameter of 20 metres. Shooting a snipe, the fella to my right stumbled on the locked antlers. Others are Warbler nests I shot out of trees for the significant other. Kind Regards, Raimey rse

David, I'm sorry but I don't know. I got it and another one like it for a friend. It is from England. I liked the small size for a fixed blade. The blade is 2 1/2" +/-.

I just wondered. It looked a bit like the work of Jim Wurtz. I'm not sure if Jim participated here, but he was on the Shooting Sportsman board and later, the Not board. He made beautiful knives. I have a few. Jim died a few years ago from complications after a dental procedure in Argentina.
