Dukxdog, is that a Lindner? Yes, made in 1912. Absolutely beautiful gun. I hope it shoots as good as it looks.

Collectors prize the old cast iron which fetch high prices (for old skillets, that is). I had an old footed, flanged lid Dutch oven that provided great camp meals while duck hunting on boat accessible only rice dikes on the Savannah River. An old Cajun family provided a recipe for duck gumbo/stew based upon a roux that I'd make at home. A dug hole with a charcoal fire inside the hole with the oven on top of the coals and with coals shoveled on the lid then covered with dirt was a low tech slow cooker which provided a stick to your ribs meal at day's end when we'd ceremonially dig up the oven for supper. To get a better than factory seal between lid and pot, I'd use valve grinding compound between lid and pot and spin the lid in place until evenly worn. Here's my cast iron cookware. No dogs harmed in the making of this photo. Abby got curious about the woodcock cooking discussion earlier in this diversion.

With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.

My 13 yr. old grandson, Lane, strikes yet again. This afternoon he took another good buck off my land. He saw this one as he was walking to his ground blind about 4:30 this afternoon, and took him cleanly with an offhand shot. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Hey all, had a wonderful day today. My sons and I went out this afternoon for a short hunt and did very well. Weather was great and the company the best! Will and Jim were the hot guns today. Each of them got 2 and I managed 1. Raina did very well and is starting to fill the shoes of the old girl (Duchess). We saw more birds today than in previous hunts. They were on the wild side however, still a great day! Will, Jim, Raina and our birds. Will used his Bernie Roma 3E and Jim his VS 3EC Have to show off one of my favorite guns, my J. Blanch 12b Best, Greg
