Frank Victor Hanson Jr. (Sonny), my uncle was 9 years old when he shot his first deer with the ole 10 gauge. Sonny was in the 87th division, 2nd battalion, 347th Infantry Company "H". Fought in the battle of the bulge and was a great hunter. He died in 1964 when the car he was working on fell on him. To this day I use his Remington 30-06 and some day I would love to go hunting with the 10 gauge to complete the cycle of a Hanson hunter.
