I suppose,just like in the US, firearms come from many sources.<br />My Bernardelli was willed to my father in law from his uncle, along with a Belgian Browning A5 and a take down Browning semi-auto .22. The last two had to be surrendered and sold/destroyed when the OZ government banned all semi-auto and some pump firearms a few decades ago, otherwise they would be residing in my gun safe.I greatly value the Bernardelli, particularly since it has been passed on to me for safe keeping. I haven't fired it, preferring to use a .22 scoped rifle for rabbits and an old single barrel 12g shotgun that I've had since my teens.<br />I've considered going out deer hunting--not nearby as it is too built up and not legal anyway. There are areas where I go fishing where it is legal and safe. Might begin putting together what I need.<br /><br />Kindest Regards,<br />Steve.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349271164490121533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-89096625373508297012018-11-28T21:03:49.648-05:002018-11-28T21:03:49.648-05:00Sam when we hunted with our brittanies we loved da...Sam when we hunted with our brittanies we loved damp rainy days.

The game comm. issued a tremendous amount of doe permits to allow the thinning of the herd which they said was to create quality deer management. I think if you ask a lot of hunters you'll get quite a different story. Tenderloins last night, and right now I'm planning for tonight. P.S. I saw your deer, so nice.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-11684457160023930582018-11-28T06:54:08.452-05:002018-11-28T06:54:08.452-05:00Steve Hynes

Back in the 80's when I had my Britts and did a lot of bird hunting in several states, I had my Ithaca 37 also a 20ga. But I had the desire to own a SxS of Italian make and I chose the Bernardelli. I actually purchased it through a Colorado gun importer. And now in 2018 after hundreds of pheasants, grouse and woodcock along with a few turkey's I've managed to take a white-tail with that Bernardelli.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-1095722252369721722018-11-28T06:31:43.824-05:002018-11-28T06:31:43.824-05:00Alan,

We are in the grips of deer season here in Ohio and faced with fewer animals to hunt. That is frightening and well as depressing. I am in awe at the beauty and splendor of the Connecticut woods and waters! We discovered many years ago that venison is fine table fare indeed with so many ways to enjoy it! We are blessed with all that nature provides! <br />DougsdenDougsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800383538251413175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-76183758219700056922018-11-28T05:02:22.123-05:002018-11-28T05:02:22.123-05:00Respect and gratitude are important in hunting, fi...Respect and gratitude are important in hunting, fishing and life in general. A fine looking deer, Alan.<br />I was going to ask what make of shotgun you have but you have already answered my question and, believe or not, I have that very same shotgun but in 12gauge. We share a love of fly fishing and ownership of a similar shotgun. Do you run slugs or buckshot through the Bernardelli?<br />I've been seeing a lot of deer in our neighbourhood recently, reds and the larger sambar.<br />Kindest Regards,<br />Steve.<br />Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349271164490121533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-38703697902671030562018-11-27T20:39:28.846-05:002018-11-27T20:39:28.846-05:00Believe me I know that.
