One of the things in life I regret is not having been involved in muzzleloading (fowlers) back in the 60's and 70's when I lived to quail hunt in southern VA. We had plenty of Bob White quail and we had permission to hunt hundreds of ac around where I grew up. The only thing I would have liked better (looking back) would have to been shooting a flint side x side over my English pointer or my father-in-laws German Short Hair pointer!

I was able to go Chukar hunting a couple of times (recent years) with my 16 bore English Fowler, killed a few Chukar but they were like killing barn yard chickens compared to hunting wild VA quail.

The quail all but disappeared in the late 70's and even today they are few are far between for those that still hunt them anywhere near my old stomping grounds.

We all missed out on some sort of ML shot shooting fun, Dennis. Nice to reminisce over what has gone before, though - dredges up good memories otherwise forgotten.

No - I am not in that video - wish I was, though - what a GREAT day that would be.

My little 20 bore flinter would hammer them.

Very nice to see,  Been over here nearly 34 years now.

Still miss it!  I don't think I've fired my 20 -bore flint double since I came here.

Thanks for the link,  Daryl.

Welcome, Richard.  An Acquaintance of mine, David Stutley, of Stutely Bros., used to or perhaps still raise pheasants and grouse for driven hunts. Always said I wanted to go over and participate - at least once. David and his brothers have or had a gun shop for a while.  David was a client in a moose camp where is was working, some years ago.
Herrrrre's David (with David  (also of the UK) Chapman's little bull moose).



The moose was shot up by the bush-line on the ridge, from the log pile in the foreground.

 A friend of mine, and I had the enjoyable experience of hunting pheasants, and chukers, with our trade guns. Having hunted most of my adult life, I have to say, no other form of hunting was more fun. The great weather, and the thrill of watching the dogs work are unbeatable.
