) Very good. 
breezeshooter=BS, quick, you saw that right off too.
Grouse has been a lifelong pursuit as well as Woodcock. Catching Woodcock on their Fall migration from Newfoundland & other Northern breeding grounds on their way to South America to Winter is a hit & miss proposition; one day no birds, next day, literally hundreds. I have owned a German Short Haired Pointer, an English Setter & now a brace of (2) English Springer Spaniels that cavort over my SxS Ithacas & Brownings. As a kid growing up on a farm, when the chores were done, I'd grab my .22 rifle and go Ground Hog hunting, which were plentiful back in the day. In my early 20s I graduated to a 700ADL 22/250, with an old, used fixed-power Weaver scope and hitting ground hogs at 400 yards became routine using Kentucky Windage. Ground Hog populations have radically declined which I attribute to urban sprawl & fewer farms. So, I morphed into a Coyote & Fox hunter for two reasons, I like long range shooting (hunting) & controlling Coyote populations in areas that I hunt Spring Gobblers & Grouse. I am convinced that Coyotes are responsible for large mortality rates on turkey eggs, peeps and fawns. Of course, if a opossum or skunk happens along looking for a meal of turkey eggs or flightless peeps, they just bought the farm too. Thanks for the welcome--appreciated.
I'm reluctant to enumerate my inventory of long & short guns. Suffice to say I like accurate rifles & pistols and if they are not extremely accurate, they quickly find a new home. Extremely accurate translation: I like 22/250, .224 Clark & 7mm. Accuracy=.22 rimfire rifles--1 hole at 100 yards; varmint rifles, very accurate to long ranges, depending on the caliber. Pistols: 1-2"-10shot groups at 50 yards with .22 match pistols & 1-3" 10 shot groups with accurized .32, 38 & 45acp pistols. I especially love hand-fitted Swiss & German .22 match pistols. Love 1911's & S&W wheel guns and the Model 52--finest & most accurate pistol out-of-the-box S&W ever produced; a Sweetheart & like a fine wine. Shotguns, I prefer SXS.
Thank You!
Mine are SKBs, 12 (100) & 20 (150), my 12 is the English stock version & the more ornate Model 100. Flues are certainly in demand by dyed-in-the-wool Ithaca collectors and command lots of Ben Franklins.
Thanks again Neighbor from South of the Tug Fork River for the welcome. I'm noy a Bass fisherman, but I have friends that are and they brag about KY Bass fishing. Speaking of the Tug Fork River area, I've seen the reports of KY Elk crossing into WV and vice versa--and probably interbreeding. That's o.k., both herds had their genesis from Rocky Mountain Elk herds & they too have buried the hatchet of the Hatfield & McCoy feud.
