-I shoot a lot of skeet with my 12 gauge SxS. I also Turkey hunt with it.
-My 20 gauge SxS gets used for Ruffed Grouse and bunnies. Some clay birds too...
-The NW Trade gun is mostly a Squirrel getter, I've also shot a couple of Deer with it (RB).
Of the three, the 12 SxS gets the most use.
 
If your really serious about Fowlers and not just fishing..
I would recommend this book....

"Flintlock Fowlers"...author....Tom Grinsdale

Its educational too.
I look through it every month or so..
Lots of great pictures with dimensions.
Well worth the price.
 
I have a centermark tulle that I have used for 23 years to take ducks, hogs, squirrels and deer. Its not a fancy weapon but dependable as it gets.
 
Over 20,000 members and only 4 different pictures of favorite smoothies....Must all be rifle shooters????
 
I haven't yet gotten a chance to shoot this one yet. This Tulle was built by a gentleman in West Bend, WI and was sold as a part of his estate. I'd like to know more about it; who built it and how long ago. Somebody told me it might have been made in the 1980's?

Its a joy to carry a well balanced Flintlock Fowler.
Don't even have to shoot it to enjoy the hunt.
 
I find it's also useful as a walking stick in uneasy terrain. My balance is absolutely horrendous. At least I haven't dropped it yet; I've dropped every other gun I've owned..
