Well, this is NOT a dilemma to me and any proud Southern Gentleman.
If this is the real Bo Whoop that was lost by a Southern Gentleman and passed thru some number of hands to another, and present, Southern Gentleman, all our Mamas are waiting to see that the right thing is done.
I can only hope that our heritage still has some meaning.
Best,

George,
Would you be so kind as to describe the stock and fore-end configuration on the HE you saw and handled? I'm curious as to whether it was restocked like the original. Thanks.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Well Mastershooter !!!
Considering that they offer a gift subscription and you did not order one for me. I subscribed for myself.
My sincere thanks for directing me to that mag. As both a gardener and gun man, too old and ornery to anything more, it may just be my kind of read. Being that it is centered in Charleston, the HOLY CITY, it is almost too good to be true. My heart is always in that place.
Thanks, and my best.
John

Say yo' daddy came across this gun in a trade for an ol'plow.
Now he was just an everyday good ol'boy who liked to hunt ducks.
...and he has with Bo-Whoop for forty years.
Not being a student of Fox guns, but just a plain sort - would you blow the whistle on your pappy?

I was told that it was re-stocked identically to the original down to the pull, DAH, DAT and as close to the original wood as was possible to obtain. The original broken (at the wrist) stock was present as well.

I am curious as to how many duck/goose hunters currently use a Fox? I bet most duck hunters wouldn't have a clue who Mr. Buck was as well as know the name of his double.
Kind Regards,
Raimey
