And besides - how could I take anything an LC Smith advocate said about Parkers seriously!

I mean - who cares how Barney Fife thinks we ought to balance the national budget?

Best,

Mike

I get the dog thing, sorta. You must own a Lab, and on your way to saint hood, me I have both the best gun ever built (the pheasent killin lazer beam merk, though I do have a few substandard guns such as the sauer and Lc , which reside in the green gunsafe) and the best hunting breed ever, the lab. I'm well and truely on my way to a very warm forever(thanks to Al G and global warming I'll be ready for it) given my lack of compassion for those with lesser dogs(TJC and my buddy with the spinonni's spring to mind) and those without the taste (or even worse the lack of realization of what they are shooting) to appreciate the fine German firearm.

Back to the single malt , as I grow weary of this (my) drival.

Jeff Labs rule.
Prussian, so as not to start another thread like this one, where Rev gets his butt handed to him, I'll stop poking fun at the sauers.(at least for now)

Just curious how many entries were in the 16 ga competition

Scat,

This was the innaugeral hunt for this gun in it's 100th year. I accidently loaded it with some paper hulled Monarch brand shells that have to be 60 years old or more.

It's a little known fact that Monarch used Bismuth in the late 1940's but these flying feather pillows sure acted like it was lead in those old paper hulls. Feathers went everywhere.

And yes, I smelled the hulls while Luke was making the retrieves. They reminded me of my grandfathers pipe tobacco..

Sounds like a perfect day to me Jeff. What state are you in and do you field hunt or goose hunt on the water?

I'm in MD. Years ago I did a lot of pit blind hunts in big fields but that does not satisfy as much as hunting over water.

Most of my goose hunting is on a 6 acre pond just a few miles from home. I have two blinds, one on a small island and another in the shallow end but out in the water. There is something about decoys swinging in the wind, bobbing on the waves and a dog making a long water retrieve that makes a difference to me.

Most of my duck hunting os on the same pond or in flooded timber in the Potomac river valley.

I don't duck hunt anymore as I just don't like eating them. Goose is a different story though. I have a pit in a friends field about 15 minutes from my home which makes for a very convenient hunt. It's a small field and we do very well there. This year the field was in winter wheat which made for a great September nuisance season and it was no problem shooting five geese a day. We did our part to eliminate the nuisance. Here's my guy after a September morning in the field.

Thst is an awesome picture. Would you mind very muvh if I were to cut and paste my license plate on yours and take credit for those geese???

Only joking.

It's all filled with dummies, you dummy Laughing

Hey how about that I did a complete post without a shot at those second string sauers of yours.
