"People in my area, and "people in this area."
You live in Cleveland...right Jimmy!
There has never been a gun better designed than the English gamegun for shooting game. Your talking about games ol'boy!
Think of the estate brace counts, and then the hey-day of the M21&12 where you'd be lucky to see twenty wild birds per season.
Thats why we see these quail/pheasant/duck groups today.
I bet the M21&12 saw more rabbits than birds!
