No, thanks. If I want to hunt in tough conditions I'll stick with ducks in the hell-hole swamps I love so much. And, my 9 lb. 7 oz. SuperFox never seems to bother me there. You see, professor, in your attempt to paint me in an ignorant light it is you who overlook the obvious. Three times in my short post above I used the qualifier "to me". This because I was responding to a thread entitled "Field gun preferred weight". The title, and my response, were both tailored to the responder and his circumstances (thus the word "preferred"), both of which were ignored by you in your reply to me.
Besides, I don't hunt with persons who make a habit of "riding free" on other's backs.
See ya'll later. I'm off to shoot some clays.

Stan, you wouldn't know rough hunting it you tripped over it. Duck hunting sure aint it.
Pump up your ego and knock yourself out on those clays though. And make sure to take a gun with a lot of MOI or umammi or whatever your secret sauce for the day is.
