I’m glad to see him working for it Shrapnel, my son could take a lesson. He couldn’t budge his. I asked what he would do if got it alone. He said “call you.”

Original Sharps from Montana in 1877 and rebarreled in Miles City by A.D. McAusland, a well known frontier gunsmith. 40-90 Sharps bottleneck... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/4yhbWjBz/IMG-7003.jpg)
Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is, listening to Texans..John Steinbeck

I really enjoy this thread each year and only wish that I had more to contribute to it. This pic doesn't meet the criteria of a double gun, but at least its an old gun. It's a 20 gauge Winchester model 37 that my father bought me in 1963. I had already got a few squirrels with a borrowed 410, but this was the first gun that was mine. I shot a bunch of squirrels with it, my first buck, and my first gobbler with it. I haven't used it in years, but I decided to take it out of the safe and go squirrel hunting Tuesday. That was the first time I've been squirrel hunting in years, and I went to a creek bottom where I remembered a productive hunt when I was 15. I did use a SxS in that hunt, so there's the connection to a double gun.  I cleaned the squirrels and my wife fried them for me. That was also the first time I've eaten any in years, but they were very good, as always. Nostalgia is nice for an old man. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/wB1MC0ZG/PXL-20241022-145915097.jpg) .

When I saw the photo of that buck, my first thought was that it probably dressed out at least double your son's weight. It is certainly a well fed deer with very good genetics. The antlers appear to be angled very upright, like those of a 1 1/2 year old buck, so the body size and number of points are even more impressive. One of my best hunting memories was helping one of my buddy's younger brother's twin boys shoot his first buck at age 13. He was one elated kid, and no, he couldn't have dragged it himself either. That was over 25 years ago, and I recall it like it happened yesterday.
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

Had another great weekend chukar hunting, and got to try out a newly acquired Husqvarna M42 16ga hammer gun. Choked full/full, but I got half a dozen birds and rarely missed with it. Great shooter for an 1880's gun. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/gjpsxT3l.jpg) Saw this buck half a mile from camp: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/td6iXX9l.jpg)
