Definitely not the prettiest gun out there but I shoot well with this gun. It fits me like a glove and is well balanced. It was my wife's grandfathers shotgun so I take some pride hunting with it.

Well, it's not a gun, vest or dog but definitely a "tool of the trade" and well deserved after chasing those red legged devils all day.

The best tool a upland hunter can find, a GOOD bird dog.  You can kill birds with any shotgun if you can find them.

Bernardelli Elios copy of a Churchill XXV 12 ga., 25" barrels, 5 lb. 15 oz. and the correct number of triggers.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska

My two kids have  been my favorite hunting neccesity this year. We flushed some grouse and I missed of coarse. My son said "Daddy I think you need to practice more" after reflecting on the day while eating diner. Been a fun year for me. Not a lot for the freezer but plenty of memories.

I mainly take my Marlin 90 16ga for long walks while looking for birds, shells, rocks, sheds and what ever else I can find to prove to my wife that I actually went hunting because even if I get a shot I rarely hit anything.

I hope to add a hunting dog to my hunting arsenal next season. We will see.

Naches I love the 31s, ball bearing shell shukers, there is not a smoother pump in existence.  I own a 16ga. Been looking for a 31L in 16ga for a while as my chukar gun.

Good whiskey sounds good anytime and after chukar hunting there is no better excuse.
