It seems most of the young folks I meet are into more/bigger/higher/faster/farther and ad executives sure buy into that; just look at the ads for fishing gear out there. My nephew brought along a guy on our last South Dakota trip; decent enough young fellow with a new lab and a new Benelli auto. He was amused at my old "double barrels" and my feeling that any bird that I can't hit with two shots deserves to fly on. I said that on a couple of rare occasions I'd been lucky enough to take two birds out of a rise. He said something like, "If a bunch of birds get up I want a chance at all of 'em!"
