I think it has a lot to do with how you were raised. I started early in life with my grandfather and was taught first thing, that you never shoot anything unless you are going to eat it. I taught mine the same thing. So from day one, we all were eaters and no one is a trophy hunter. I used a tobacco pouch with a draw string to feed my grandfather's 510 and later my 512. The old SS 12ga I just fed from my overall pockets, but it was used pretty much only for ducks and such. I shot just about everything with the 22 rifle, we never owned a center fire rifle. I could, if the needed, use the 22 to bird hunt with, as I could shoot birds on the wing with it. But that was several eye changes ago and with 50 year younger reflexes.
