I have a number of old shotguns and during the fall I was involved with publishing a book on my guns. I realized I had some guns that hadn't seen daylight in several years, so I took them hunting. I got 38 mountain grouse a few huns and a turkey with them. I ended using the Burgess wrist slide action gun the most, but still got some shooting with the Webley hammer gun...

That looks like a fine bird season with some nice old shotguns. Even more so if you managed that many birds without a dog. Great post!

That is a fun post. Glad you like your Burgess. We live close together [montana-wise] and maybe with similar interests, we should get together.

Those Burgess guns are fascinating. I've never seen a badly made example. I believe Winchester finally ended up with the company but John Browning helped himself to at least one of their designs, the takedown on the Model 520 Stevens shotguns.

Congratulations on a fine season of bird hunting. Are the grouse both blue and ruffies?

Wonderful pics. Thank you!

Is the fourth pic a grouse? It is so dark compared to the others, and has no band on the tail, that I can see.

Third and fourth are Blue grouse. They are the best eating game bird you can get...

Nice photos and such big birds. Those are 2 inch shells. Is the gun a 2", 12 bore?

For the first time passing through Bozeman last fall, I stopped into Hill n Rod. My knees were shaking but I left without spending any money. Nice gun store which I suppose you have visited many times.
