That was a great hunt, Dean, made all the more sweet since the guy who invited me after he and his dog found a flight cover told me in part jest, part ridicule, "There all over the bottom, even more this morning than when I checked yesterday! Meet me at the parking spot and, oh yeah, don't bring that popgun of yours - too much choke and not enough shot. Use a man's gun for a change!" I felt so good about it later I bought him lunch. He said the salad dressing was quite sour.
BTW - I brought out my beautiful little Bob Runge engraved & signed Remington 11-48 F Grade .410 (no gold, thank you) on the 4th of July weekend, like I do every year, both to honor the man and to celebrate the spirit of the All American Gun. Shot a round of sporting clays in the morning with it wearing the full choke barrel, then later in the day shot a couple of rounds of skeet after changing to the skeet-choked barrel. Reminded me of how deadly boring skeet is but how exciting it can be with a .410 (you tend to use a lot of bad words). Also how deadly the little guns can be on close targets in the woods, especially those wascally wabbits! |

He was probably thinking 'grapes' while saying "salad dressing" dontcha think? I don't even have a .410 though I wish I did . . . . . . come to think of it, Mr. Dunkle rarely uses his and it is probably taking up valuable space in the rake and shovel rack in his back shed. Maybe he'll read this and ask me if I can think of someplace to store it for him. |
