Title: In a Pear Tree...
Post by: nryche on November 09, 2013, 08:58:32 PM: Headed out today with my wife and a friend of mine for some upland hunting. I took the oldest of the shotguns I have. A pre 1968 JC Higgins bolt action 20g. Every time I think about selling this shotgun it bangs down another bird... Saw 9 birds for the day, but only shot at this one.
