In my next life, I want to return as Joe Wood...(AmarilloMike's shooting student)
They use Mike's vehicle, Mike's dogs, hunt on Mike's lease, and Mike never mentions Joe's shooting errors. What a deal.

Me too!

Nice mess of birds Gary. What's the gun?

I took Joe Wood hunting yesterday. We went to my lease in my truck and ran my dogs and shot my birds. I bought breakfast and lunch. But Ted, my other guest, bought supper so I came out better than my usual hunt with Joe.

Thank you Treb. I am thrilled with that little gun.

Thanks Gil. I've got a fourteen month old pup named Jazzy. The old dogs and all the wild birds have trained her. She ground tracks, points, backs, and hunts dead and all I had to do was take her hunting with the old dogs.




I am glad to be here.

That looks like Gary's Hinton & Sons, 16 gauge.

It is a 16 gauge by Hinton & Sons with 28" cyl & mod barrels; 6lbs......one that Joe Wood got tired of and pawned off on me.
Some of my collector friends who own only London best would hold it at arm's length, sniff, and declare it a "cheap, non-ejector boxlock"; but, if they ever shot birds with it, I'd have to cut their fingers loose. It's always the one I reach for when I go quail hunting, and it is a hoot for doves over decoys.

Gary, methinks the little Hinton found a good home. That pleases me. Though it doesn't have the coveted London pedigree it just reeks with careful and prideful construction.

Mike, I went through a similar successful experience with my young dog Willa hunting alongside my 5 year-old Abby. While it's said one can't teach an old dog new tricks, it's my experience that an old dog sure can teach a new dog tricks.
GaryW, those old Birmy, pre-war 16 gauge BLNE's are one of the best "bangs" for the bucks in sub-gauge doubles. You have preached to the choir. Nice looking gun. Gil

By the way AmarilloMike.....
If you invite me next time, I'll buy lunch & dinner and bring treats for your fine dogs.
(I'll even take pics and edit out Joe's misses...or, you can leave Joe at home and I won't have to edit.)

Gary, Joe doesn't know this but Mrs. Joe pays me $400 plus expenses for every day I keep him out of the house. If Mrs. Gary will match that deal I will take you hunting too. I have shot your Hinton and liked it very much.



I am glad to be here.
