My upland hunting has been so so this year, especially after my setter took off and was lost in the central Oregon wilderness for a week. I searched days, hiked 20 miles, and nothing. Thankfully, elk hunters found him on horseback at the bottom of a canyon a week after he left. He was emaciated, but he'll be fine after much vet care and r&r. So much for upland hunting this year.

That said, I've had some great waterfowl hunts this year. I finally connected on snipe! I went out and targeted them, and they are hard to hit little buggers. Harder than dove in my opinion. This is my 1890's 6.4lb Lefever damascus 12:



Also went on a guided duck hunt last weekend. Four of us got mallard limits in about an hour. Best duck hunt I've ever had. I shot a f/xf Husqvarna 310as 12 I picked up the week before, and I LOVE the way it shoots. Was using ITX reloads. Fantastic duck gun:
