Had a great day quail hunting yesterday. Got to hunt with a new friend and his son, which was awesome. We got into quite a few birds, and we both managed to knock down a few. My 30" Lefever 16 is not the ideal quail gun, so I look forward to using my 5.7lb cyl/sk Marechal 16 hammer gun next time.

Last day of Texas early teal season with a Harrod's 16 ga. and Classic Doubles Hevi-shot. A Scott action with wacky Greener ejectors that kept going out of time until Professor Joe Wood removed them and made it an extractor gun. With 29" M&F barrels, it's great for ducks and will get a little work on pheasants.

Looking forward to seeing the results of the little Marechal's time in the field. Rick

Thanks Rick. Just got back from a pheasant hunt this morning with a friend. We got 4 birds in 20 minutes, with 5 points total. I've never seen him cover ground so fast. He was on fire. He's 3 now, so I figure I have about 5-7 yrs of this to look forward to, God willing. It's been a good year so far

Mark, that quail cover looks very familiar. I used to live in Pullman and sometimes hunted over towards Wenatchee where the chaparral is a lot higher/denser than in Eastern Washington. Brought back some memories! Thanks for the great pic!

You're welcome Mike. The Russian olive trees have really taken over in the whole Yakima valley northwards, but it does make for some fantastic quail and pheasant cover. At least the quail are native :0

Thanks Mike for posting the photo for me. Those are my 2 grouse dogs Jill and Shamoo. We harvested 2 grouse and a woodcock this AM in the Upper Peninsula. I'm shooting my Dickson boxlock 12 bore that weighs 5 lb 14 oz. This gun is so nice to carry. I'm shooting 1 oz Gamebore shells with good effect. Still learning how to shoot the gun, but getting a lot better with it. I feel it will be my 'go to' upland gun.
Socialism is almost the worst.
