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

Hi Dean & CSL!

CSL, your research is, once again - spot on correct... Sheesh - it wasn't "purty" but it really worked for him... Somewhere, I have a clipping or old picture of him on the line I'll try to find? If you have one as well - please feel free to post it up, OK??

Dean and CSL - as always - my thanks!!!

John
