How old is Raina now? Seems I've been looking at her great work for years.

Mills, great to hear of Harry's first year hunting. I'm sure he will be a regular now.

I'm posting this on behalf of my good friend Chris Dawe, member here CJ Dawe, gunsmith extraordinaire! I think posting pictures is more than he can handle. Chris lives in Newfoundland.....you'll have to ask him why. On the plus side, on the 4 days a year when it's not a driving wind storm, there is ptarmigan hunting to be had. These pics are of Chris's hunt earlier today with his son and dog. His boy got his first ptarmigan over a point today so they were both a little charged up over that. The area they are hunting is known as The Barrens. Sounds like something from a English gothic horror novel. Hopefully Chris will come on and add a little first hand commentary, including what those guns are. Edit to add: Breaking news....Chris was using a great Husqvarna model 201 sidelock in 12 gauge and his son was shooting a LC Smith Featherweight 20 gauge that Chris upgraded and gave to his son on his 13th birthday. I've seen pics of the gun....makes me want an LC Smith! (Can't believe i just said that! LOL)

My 17 year old son, Finn and his first Sharptail in MT. It was a nice one shot kill at a respectable distance with his custom stocked Famars 20ga.

I know everyone involved, Mr. Steele, was happy and proud. Good young man can look forward to pheasants in a few weeks.

Tough terrain to drop a gun or hit a knee...unforgiving.
