So my dad called and said he would like to give me his only gun as he doesnt hunt anymore and knows I would use it. It is a nice Belgium Browning that I have always wanted so I was certainly excited.
I swing by his house and there are two guns waiting for me. The second one is a single shot 20 guage Stevens that was my first! I havent seen that gun in twenty five years. I thought for sure it was lost in a move years ago.
I was given that gun for Christmas when I was eight years old. I know, I know, a hammer @#)(# shotgun and a kid may not be a great idea anymore but remember, kids were smarter back then. Anyhow, a pile of animals met their maker with that little shotgun. I have killed squirrels, rabbits, dove, ducks, and maybe a goose. My grandfather let me call the shots as he knew I only had one and I wanted it to count. I should confess that normally meant the ducks were inches off the water.
Anyone else remember their first?
