I love the AHFCA forum so much I even enjoy rereading old posts. I never grow tired of looking at pictures of beautiful guns, harvested game, and the smiles of the hunters. People that hunt with vintage guns seem to have a little more sole that others, and quite frankly, seem to be more apt to have fun at each other's expense. You're just not as serious when you hunt with a 100 year old gun. The hunt and the lore are more important than simply filling the game bag. If limiting out is the main goal, go get a 5 shot automatic. If you want to have good times and joke with one another, by an old side by side. I love the quote listed above, "if the bird is shot in flight, it's a grouse. If it's shot on the ground, it's a partridge.' It's classic hunter humor. That reminds me of deer hunting with my family. If they hear me shoot twice, they all know that I missed with the first shot, and killed it with the second shot. I think I've done it 8 times now, and it's become known as "firing a warning shot". They all know it, because I always tell them the same story. "It was such an easy shot that I fired a warning shot to give the deer a chance, and drilled him with the second shot." (I'll never admit that I choked). Every hunting group has their little "inside gags" and that's what makes hunting special. Jeff

Jeff, sometime when we're sitting around I'll have to tell you of my early deer hunting escapades!! That'll make you laugh!! BTW, still looking for a Fox or two? I may have a line on something for you.
