Mr W martin, I agree with you completely on a kill for the pot and using a nice gun. I'm down to my last dog and hope to give him a few chances next season. As he'll be my last dog . the upcoming seasons are getting fewer and fewer for me. Last season friends shot vintage hammer guns, and they used muzzle loaders on sharptail grouse and Hungarian partridge. One friend got a double on pointed partridge with his Joseph Manton as I recall. Or, was it with his Patrick Mullin muzzle loader ? In any event both fine guns. I think the Manton was a conversion from around 1815. The Mullin was after 1850.
