A FAIR 16 bore SxS was reviewed in the Field 2 or 3 years ago, and got a very good write up.
I suspect that FAIR were the makers of my Italian made .410 Rottweil O&U.

FAIR (Fabrique Armas Isadoro Rizzini) built my Verona two gauge set, 28 and .410. It's absolutely a keeper. Love it.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Last spring, April, I got rid of 25 shotguns. However, I bought 28 and 16 ga. Iside doubles. Haven't shot the 16, but got the 28 in time for late quail season. Nice guns and a lot of value in a moderately priced, well-made Italian double. Gil

![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/JSaX8k0h.jpg) Even the little guns are working well up here this year, including a 28 on a .410 frame. But....things are changing quickly: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/ubGJirJh.jpg)

Dan S.W., congrats! Hope it's the first of many. I expect a few woodcock will soon be making their way to Georgia.

I didn't get any shots at a ruffed grouse, but we at least saw a few at a distance. Now I really want to do the UP. And the woodcock were a ton of fun too. The 8 miles a day of hillclimbing was a bit rough though...I will see if I can jump some lowcountry woodcock in my parents retirement community outside of Savannah next. Ha.

Gus and I did another trip up north again. This is our third of the year, and just 2 days, but I had to go up to seed and mulch the banks of our new drive and culvert which took all summer to get approved. So, 2 days of grousing while we were "in the area". This was the first grouse and a big one. But really strange coloration. Anyone that says there are only brown and grey grouse haven't seen many. This grey tailed/red ruff is a first for me. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/I4bD7dG.jpg) Same bird ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/eXiB1HL.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/R8lyTyp.jpg) A relatively rare "normal" red/brown bird. It had a black ruff, like normal. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/p9U0V1k.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/07jFA5y.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/JVDnLHx.jpg) Got another one of these also. The only one we saw. I've got to figure out how to cook them tonight. They sure pluck nicely. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/TUH77oQ.jpg) The scenery is never bad. Some trumpeter swans way in back too. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/mVsBMpY.jpg)
