Yesterday my step-son Matt and I took Zack and Val out after quail. I was gathering up our stuff when I thought about a lot of different memories and ideas.
I picked up my 16 gauge G.E.Lefever. I owe the pleasure of that gun to a good friend on our board, bbman3, that sold it to me as a project gun. Topgun took his time to answer a hundred questions over several phone calls. He turned me on to someone that could restore the gun correctly at a fair price.
Matt's outfit is 39 years old. It came from J.C. Penneys, paid for with grocery money my Mom scrimped up. I thought I was the grandest 6 year old in the world when I opened that box. Mom paid almost $20 for that outfit.
When I started deer hunting this year,Matt annonced he wanted to go too. We had a ball. I shot a 5 point for him. He and Zack are big pals so he wanted to try quail hunting. He told me he was a little disappointed that they only pointed with their noses.I have been blessed to have him as a hunting companion.
After the hunt, I met to double gun addicts that were shooting 5 stand. They saw the Lefever. I admired a Lang one was holding. Before I knew it, they were hauling guns out of their cars for me to enjoy. I had never met either of them before.
What other sport can you enjoy your children, dogs, and good friends. Even ones you just met.
