Actually Rapier I didn't know you needed a hunting or fishing license until a game warden stopped by and had a talk with me when I was 17..... I remember thinking what a rip off it was to have to spend $12 for a hunting and fishing combo, and wondering what communist came up with "tags" that you had to use. What I wouldn't give to be able to spend $12 for a combo these days.

I hunted with a single shot H&R 20 gauge pardner with a fixed modified choke (my 6th birthday present) until I was 18. That year after a calf sale I purchased a Marlin Model 60 22. Other than borrowing older relatives guns that was my only choice until I was 20 years old and purchased a surplus SKS for $45 at a Houston gun show.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
