Anyone that hunts with an AWS has good taste in my book, my handle on other boards is AWS. Due to a quirk of nature I got sidetracked by a GWHP but then I did get sidetracked by shotguns with the barrels on top of each other also but have seen the errors of my ways.
My father gave me an old JC Higgens bolt action 16ga when I got of hunting age but on our first trip to the northwoods to hunt grouse the gun wouldn't fire. We were at my great uncles cabin and an old 10ga hammer shotgun sat in the closet behind the stove and my dad said if he could find shells for it I could use his Rem pump and he'd take the big 10. Suprisingly the local store in Lily WI still had 2 7/8" 10 ga on the shelf, boy I was in seventh heaven. Dad got a limit of grouse and I missed a limit, I thought the old hammer shotgun was magical and it's been downhill from there.
