I guess I'm lucky, I own the 12 gauge Parker I would have ordered (#3 frame 34 inch DHE straight stock) and have used it (plus my former 32 inch one) to do about all the things I'd like to have done.
I suppose we all have our shooting / hunting dreams, but I really can't complain. Even in the modern day, I've done a lot of the same things the old timers did. Lived like a rich man on very little money, barely said sir to anybody, and nearly always done mostly as I pleased.
I've drank a lot of whiskey, smoked a lot of good cigars (and cheap ones as well), had good friends (some still living and some passed on), chased a lot or pretty girls (caught a few too), and done a power of hunting and fishing in between or sometimes during.
Life ain't so bad, even in 2013, it really ain't.
