Glad you came. It's always a pleasure to have the gjw family. Always fun at the dinner table after the hunt.  Hens way outnumbered the roosters this year. It was pretty tough hunting my swamp and the beaver dams this year because of all the water. The wind was nuts. Next time maybe the weather will cooperate. The season is still young.
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

This actually from last season; somehow I missed this thread last year. A family affair...me, three brothers-in-law, four nephews and one great-niece.

Greg what non tox are you using in those beauties? We were using Estate 2 3/4" Mag, 1 1/4oz #2 Steel. Good load, not super fast but good pattern density and they work well within a reasonable range. Will's Fabarm is chambered for 3" of course, but my Bernadelli is only 2 3/4". So when we hunt with a shorter chambered gun we leave the 3" stuff at home. Better safe than sorry by getting loads mixed up. I also use a Merkel 147E that's chambered for 3" so when I bring that one, 3" are good to go. Thanks for the kind words BTW! Best! Greg

Hi all, Will and I went today for just a short time late this afternoon, we managed to get 3, but lost 1. Wind was whippy and had snow showers, still, good to get out. Will used my 12ga Buhag Hubertius and I used my 12ga SIACE Self Cocking Ejector 350G  Best! Greg

Hi all, went out solo today, just me and Duchess, a good day with just me and my old partner. She did well and one bird gave her a merry chase, but she brought him in. I used my Churchill 12b Premiere today, and yes those are 25" bbls.   Best! Greg
