I took my two sons out for some holiday preserve pheasants in northeastern CT. It was the younger guy's first time out, and he made some nice shots with his grandfather's 1930s M12 20 gauge.

I was shooting backup and my Verney-Carron Helicobloc did a nice job scratching down a few 35-yarders that had evaded my sons.

You always wonder what is on the other side of that rise . . .

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
