Wing & Shot . . . I was writing fairly regularly for them when Zutz passed away. They asked me if I'd be interested in taking over his column. I was honored by the invitation, but declined. Zutz had a much broader background in shotguns (including pumps and autos) than I have. And I've never been a waterfowl hunter. Just too many gaps in my experience to compare with him. About his only real shortcoming, in my opinion, was that he was mostly a dogless bird hunter. But then his column didn't need to deal with hunting over dogs.
