Fox Collectors

Brookings area; seven young(er) bucks and one old fart; four labs and one shepadoodle; four autos, three o/u's and one old side by side. Days 1,2,3 & 4; the last pic is with my two nephews and one great nephew. I didn't shoot particularly well; you gotta be quick with these boys and I'm, well, n...

There's a magazine cover for sure!

Sorry, I do not.

Haven't come across my pic of the sign just yet, but did find this about the origin of the Coot Isle... "Ran across the Coot Isle sign at a local market of fleas, though no one had any idea from where it originated. Never heard of such around these parts. More likely East Coast stuff. I've used...

Jolly, I also have a lot of photos and correspondence from Bill and my Coot Isle membership card hangs above my desk. This is a pigeon decoy he made and gave to me; he also gave me a starling "decoy" and a shorebird "flattie" he made. The pigeon and starling came from sets he mad...

Bill Headrick, writer, gun photographer extraordinaire, and Fox shotgun enthusiast passed away on Monday, October 14. I know many of you enjoyed Bill's tales and photos in DGJ and other places. He was a true character, and one who really had "been there, done that." He will be missed.

Back atcha Daryl !

When are you heading to SD Phil? A few of us Fox guys will be there for the start of the season on the 19th through the 23rd in the Hitchcock area. Daryl, we'll be there the week of November 4 in the Brookings area, or so I'm told. Just east of you it looks like, but later. A new area for us; we're...

Nothin' upland happens out west here until November; I'll be in SD with a couple of Foxes.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It'll come when it comes.

An early November sojourn to South Dakota will be my first time out, and typically that means my Philly A Grade 16ga and my 16ga Utica Sterlingworth will be in my Galazan double case. https://i.imgur.com/Q3IKVyjl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6X2OSGml.jpg I've threatened to make it a 20ga trip some time w...

If it's hollow maybe you can wedge something in the opening like a small screwdriver or Allen wrench and turn it out? Maybe hit it with WD40 or some other release agent first.

Your gun is a Fox Model B made by Savage arms, not an A.H. Fox gun. Your pictures are pretty dark; I can't really tell which screw you're talking about or where it goes. I don't currently have a Model B but it is similar to Stevens guns which I do have; I looked at one of mine but am having trouble ...

I never thought of them as arrows but I see what the OP means; the three marks at the front of the raised side panels (tech term?) do form a sort of arrow shape. All three of my Utica Sterlingworths (1935, 1936 and 1937) have them; don't have a Philly Sterly to check.

I'm not a duck hunter but I do have a few calls that I've gathered over the years. This one was gifted to me by our late member and friend Jim Cloninger...
