CZ and I just returned from the Eastern U.P., didn't come across any sharptails to speak of. Had the usual encounter with the resident grouse and woodcock though. Watched the woodcock flights come in from across our campsite at dusk, what a sight!
Hope everyone's October is a good one.

Hey all, well no limits today, but did get a mixed bag. So....a good day overall. It was a nice day compared to a week of 25-30mph winds. Low winds and cooler temps.

Anyway, we saw a lot of pheasants today....mostly hens. The few roosters we (my son Jim and I) saw were really spooky. Did manage one however.

I used my 12b EJ Churchill Premiere with those nasty 25" bbls. Which, BTW, work just fine for me.



And one tired pup! Raina is 10 years old, but you'd never know it. From start to finish, she's always ahead of you and hunts hard.



Best,

Greg

A rainy evening at grouse camp.

That's a lot better, CZ!!! Thanks.

Fine looking Female GSP--Raina?? Sounds maybe like a FleetwoodMack song title?? And I would take that swell looking Churchill XXV 12 bore with 25" barrels and open chokes any day hand running for grouse, woodcock, quail over a solid pointing dog and consider myself to be extremely well blessed.

Now Greg you must know by now that those snub nose barrel guns aren't worth a darn. Shotgun barrels have to be at least 30 inches in order to work at all. As a favor to you I'll gladly take it into protective custody until you come to your senses. I promise I won't let the Colonel handle itas he can't have nice things without breaking them. I'm here for you Greg so you can improve your wingshooting ! :-)

Well now Greg does it right. He shoots them in the head

Thanks guys, but I think I'll hang on to this one. It maybe out of vogue, and no one wants one because you can't shoot them. So.......rather than making your lives miserable, I will sacrifice my joy and happiness to save you from temptation.

On the serious side, this gun is choked skeet and IC. A bit open on the prairies here, but good for early season. It weighs in at 5-14 so light also. I like her!

Best.

Greg

Greg,
There certainly is something to be said for the Churchill's. Mine is also choked skt. & ic. and weighs 5lb. 12 oz., perfect for the "Northern woods" of Michigan.
