joe_dumy, Thank you for that GREAT picture of your kids on the hunting/picnic break. I think you have discovered the true essence of the sport; sure a full game bag is nice, but as you have discovered, the true meaning lies elsewhere.

BTW, nice shotgun; I too love the 16 ga. I own three; including a Remington 31L.

As far as I know it is a melanistic (black phase) pheasant.  I shot it in MT a long way from any house or farm yard so I'm pretty sure it was a wild bird not and escapie.

Love the Model 90, it is on my short list of gotta have 16ga shotguns.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Joe_Dumy, great picture of your kids.  I can't wait for mine to get just a tad older so I can get the out there as well.

Joe,

Great picture of the kids. And yes, I could use more practice myself! I hate when I let my dog down by missing.

Remington 1100... Beautiful as it was when it came out of the box 30+ yrs ago. Used three times to shoot skeet before I got my hands on it and started putting it to work!

Thanks for the comments on the kids. We can do 5 to 7 miles of old logging roads now with no whining. Not to bad for 5 and 6 years old. Get a little nervous about cougars here and there. But I cant go without them without a big fit now. And my son is convinced he take at least one of them out with his red rider.  So we stay close and are pretty noisy.

T-Bone if you every want to get rid of that 31L 16 ga please consider me.

Bracer I feel like we need to make up for that trip someday to your dog. 16 shot and two quail. He deserves better. I had a rock in my shoe and it was throwing me off. Not sure what your problem was.

A couple of my chukar guns, an Uggie and an extinct maker, (Jesus Irazabala).



My turkey gun, a super-full choked Spanish double without any makers mark, proofed in 1929.  This bird was a real limb hanger and was amazingly tender/juicy. 



My favorite, a 20 gauge LC Smith 2E from 1909:





Another nice one, a 1907 20 gauge LC Smith:



How about a new gun, this is a 1948 Elsie:

Fishfowler glad to see you also have the proper number of triggers on all your guns.

Two eyes, two barrels, two triggers.  Simplicity itself.

Dinged up chukar gun...still kills them dead.  Beretta 686 onyx. I have been using it since 1989. The vest is also showing some wear.
