Nice, is that a savage 24 in the bottom pic?
Yes it is. That is the first bird we've killed with it. It appears that the choke may be a little to "open". He missed with the 22 barrel, then took a shot where most of the bird was covered by a log. It then flew into a tree where he shot it again with the 20ga. Upon inspection, we discover feathers where he first shot it with the 20.

Dave, I've noticed that none of your pictures have dogs in them. Do you run "naturally"?
Never owned a hunting dog.
At my age, I'm lucky to be running at all. :chuckle:

I own one and love it for grouse hunting, looking forward to watching my boys use it.

Those 24's are cool set-ups, but the barrels are commonly misaligned. One barrel or the other may be on target, but typically not both. You can sight them in and try to shim/adjust them a little, depending on if the barrels are free floating or welded. Good luck.

Spruce grouse (franklin) and .22 pistols go hand in hand
I am thinking of taking my .22 revolver next time, if I don't go in higher elevation. Trying to lighten the load for wandering around.

Today's grouse harvest was cooked up fresh in a homemade mushroom cream sauce this evening.
Very nice. Love the presentation.
