Farm guns....

[buckhunter]

We had a family farm in western kansas. There was a double barrel 12 ga hanging on the wall. SG was good for everything and was used by my uncle on opening day of pheasant season. There wasn't a 22 around and I don't know why.

My dad was hi tech with a Remington Mod 11 16ga and my mother owned a 22 bolt Savage which my dad gave her for their anniversary. What stones the man had. If I did that my wife would have my stones.

My first sg was a really old Single shot 410 which was a hand me down to all the kids in my family hunting group. This gun ended up with the origional owner who's mother used the sg when they settled in Kansas sometime in the early 1900's. I've been trying to wrangle that away from him for years with no luck.

The farmers back then looked at a firearm as a tool and nothing more. I totally understand where they were coming from. I'd bet a bunch of cash there wasn't a Brinelli for Browning to be found anywhere.
