Eat less and walk more is the motto of the bad-back folks, and I find walking far easier with a gun in my hand. It's even better when you get to pot a leftover bird or two at the local pet & shoot.
That holds true for us bad ankle folks as well Lloyd.
Back from my NH trip. 3 solid days in Pittsburg. 7 flushes, 1 miss, 1 dead without a dog. The proprietor of the cabins we stayed in, said the bird flushes were way down. All in all it was beautiful weather, great company, foliage in it's peak with lobster and other seafood a plenty. We are already planning next year.
Oh, 28ga WC Scott with 7/8oz #8's. I'll be using the same setup next year. Light weight and short barrels. What a treat. My cousin was using his Ruger O/U 20ga.. He carried the Scott for a couple of hours and... he's looking for a new shotgun for next year.
