Yup, that's the guy.... As I remember in my research, George L. Osborn had a very distinct shooting stance that made him recognizable on the trap line from quite a distance, a detail confirmed in a late night phone conversation with his Grandson Mr. J. Dunkle... We both had a good chuckle when John shared a great story from his younger days related to the unique shooting stance and how his GrandDad had once corrected John's shooting posture... Somewhere I have a side by side comparison image I posted last year of John and the elder Osborn, and Dean is right, the close resemblance is spooky...
Great Photo John...

Best, CSL
