I've shot half a boxcar load with it. I got it from my grandfather when I was in grad school in Kansas. I killed ducks, geese, bobwhites, and pheasants with it. Later I hunted it in Georgia and Arizona, where I added Gamble's quail to the list.

Before I got it, Grandpa and his two brothers shot pigeons and prairie chickens just 20 miles from where I live now. Later, the brothers moved to Montana, and in 1917 until the mid 1920s, one of them put his MT hunting licenses in the through-bolt hole under the buttplate.

So, it is well traveled and it's put a lot of meat on the table. But, it is not done yet.
