The Glorious Fifteeth

[Sparkitoff]

Who can start hunting today? While a long standing tradition in the UK for the 12th, there is usually one or more shoots in the US to commemorate today. These are driven pheasant and/or partridge shoots in the English Tradition, but done on the 15th usually. This year one club declared a cancellation due to weather. 94 degrees and raining. The postponement is until Sept 15 th. Another month is torture when you’ve been anticipating today with enthusiasm. We’ll at least my pair of percussion shotguns are well cleaned and ready to go and my equipment is organized.

It should be fun. Who carries the other shotgun? Your ghillie?

I have 2 SxS too and could sure use a helper to load the other one during a dove shoot.

I bring a friend or son as a loader. Every V other peg, we switch and I become their loader
