Doubles and Satisfactory Results with The Hunter One-Trigger

Posted by Bob Hamilton on October 6, 2025, 4:07 pm

Just a beautiful image from an early 1906-07 Hunter Arms catalog. It would be perfect if an Irish Setter was in this group, but I'll let it slide

The early catalogs were true works of art.

Or a brace of Gordons would be even better.

Hard to argue about that. I see a Gordon on a regular basis where I run my Irish and it’s one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever seen. You don’t forget after you see one, striking. I recently ran into an Irish Red and White setter, another beautiful setter. I had two English before the Irish, I wish I could have one of each…

Thanks Drew, great stuff!

Here is another great image in the HOT series, this time it's "Pairs and Satisfaction with Comfort" and then an image with more ducks. No dogs this time, but still great. From the 1908-12 catalog.
