My father, a son of the Great Depression had two guns. One was a Savage 220A that he used for damned near everthing.... Pheasant, Grouse, Patridge as well as whitetail. The other an old Remington .22 single shot that he used for squirrels, woodchucks and other "critters".
Born in 1904, Dad grew up in the mountains within the coal mine country of East Tennessee, a rough and wild area as well as a terribly poor region. For him the most important thing was the shooting ability, not the number of shots. He once told me, "never shoot at an animal...... Shoot at the killing SPOT on the animal." Never forgot that...... even during my days in the Army, it served me well.

Yea, I'm behind the times on alot of things, but did find a couple of working decoys by local oldtime Missouri carver.
I'm as shocked as you King at the prices!
There is no shortage of waterfowl history and tradition along the rivers...been goin' on for a long time, just surprised at not seeing any!

Uh, no, jOe, just telling the truth-you ever seen a sleeved American gun?
Why not?
My Mossbergs have instructed plenty of kids in firearms safety, or, been loaned to a few guys who had guns crap out during hunting season-mostly autoloader guys, but, a double or two ended up out of commision for the season over the years.
What gun do you use to instruct kids, jOe?
Best,
Ted
