On the woods road to the bottom, the MuttPak plus Floyds Sadie bumped a covey in the pines in the below photo. Today, the doodles were also in the pines which were high and dry. On the loop back out, two hours later, the dogs bumped the reassembled covey again with us 100 yards away. Thirty minutes later, junior MuttPak member, Willa, was rock solid on a blackberry vine clump, car sized, and only a foot high. I went in ahead of Willa and a washtub-sized brown and white whirling blur rose at my feet and sped away like Hanss Millennium Falcon. I got off one shot, Floyd two and that was it. It was one of those rare coveyrises of about 20 wild birds that got up with nothing but clear air between us. Of course, no bird was hit explaining none in the other photo below.

Old farts missing birds
Nothing startling with that news
Usual business.

also thanks again for the woodcock hunting advice you gave me last year, Gil. I'm slowly figuring it out. And it took one good flush for the dog to understand that's what we're looking for. We're having fun this year

Having hunted with you both I can testify that was a big break for the birds, for you both to miss a total of three times. Not laughing tho'........ but nodding in agreement. I well know how "hard" wild birds can leave.

Yes that is a Daw under lever. It is a nice original gun made in 1867. That may not sound early to some, but that is an extremely early cartridge firing shotgun when most everything of that era was still percussion.

George Daw owned the patent on outside-center primed cartridges which at that time was innovative to enclosed cartridge firing guns. I got it because of the absolute elegance of this gun. It has been a pleasure to own and shot...

Superb! I had one Daw percussion rifle through my shop and it was wonderfully made. Great gun and nice to see you putting it to good use.
