When I was 13 in 1948, I sold my Iver Johnson champion 410 and bought a model 24 20ga. 28".One Saturday I was hunting squirrels with my uncle in Pennsylvania. It was early in the season and many leaves were still on the trees. I saw a squirrel run up a tree nearby but I lost sight of him in the leaves. As I waited for the squirrel to move a crow flew by and I took a shot at the crow. I missed the crow but the squirrel fell dead out of the tree. I didn't feel that I could fairly claim to have gotten a squirrel, but my uncle said it was ok. By the next hunting season I had sold the model 24 and bought a Remington model 31 16 ga.
