Default Gun deals galore- Sounds good

But I like our brother in AK with the #12 trap and a S&W K-22 masterpiece in hand. One sweet .22 wheelgun indeed. One I don't have (yet) but I'm not cryin' in my mug o'Guinness- My Dad loved his Colts, praises be- and left them all to me- my favorite .22 handgun is the Colt Match Target Woodsman with the so-called "elephant eared" handgrips he bought new in about 1939- in the box with papers, extra magazine and cleaning swab- still a 10X ring special= never have shot a skunk or a porky (yet) with it though.

A farmer trapper friend once told me the trick on "de-fusing" a skunk- you have to tuck his tail up under his belly, thus covering up the "dual exhaust pipes" he uses to perfume the atmosphere. As skunks, like raccoons, possums, fox and coyote, are highly rabid, and have teeth and claws, I don't believe I'd try that stunt- a .22 HP or a load of No. 6's to the head is my plan A- and B--

Good luck and good shooting to all PGCA lads attending the Vintagers and also the Fall Southern shootfests, no matter whose 20 is being "test fired"
