I just read the "Pump Gun" topic and was amused at some of the remarks about young people today and shooting. Perhaps, amused, is not the right word, but there was much truth in that post and in what many of us have witnessed with the new crop of hunters and shooters.

I was hunting grouse one day near a public waterfowl area with an older, but rather nice, H & H double. Some young guys drove up in an old beat up pick up truck and stepped out with their auto loaders, to hunt geese on a large, near by, pond. One of them looked at me and my Holland and said, "I have one of those just like that behind my kitchen door - I should shoot it one day". I just smiled at him and went on my way in search of a few upland birds.
