We tried to be selective about our shots. Want the young ones to grow for next year.

Congratulations on your success and yes, you hunt with beautiful shotguns! I recognize the Model 12, but what make and gauge is your SXS?

Beautiful birds, beautiful guns. Congrats.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Great hunt!  What are you shooting there?  Beautiful gun...
AJ JEWSON OF HALIFAX.  ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL ENGLISH S X S AND VERY WELL BUILT.   AJ JEWSON WAS LIKE AN LL BEAN IN ENGLAND. THE GUN WAS MOST LIKELY made by SCOTT.  VINTAGE DOUBLES IN WENATCHEE WILL DO YOU RIGHT!
