Dean: I think that must have been the gear for the era or you are a long lost twin. Boots, jeans but a pretty fancy-schmancy "reversible" red&black plaid/all red wool jacket. (Red for huntin' and plaid for date night). Dad had the Parker.

Charlie: The gun is a Savage 755A autoloader 12 gauge with polychoke hanging on the muzzle. Sometimes delivers two shots with a single trigger pull. I have tried over the years to correct that but it is now a permanent resident of the retirement section of the steel tombs.
In the world of priorities, that jacket was mostly red side out.

cheers,

I can't wait to get out after some pheasant with my Grandchildren!
The oldest is only 2 1/2 but he is already practicing in the living room with his "shotgun" (a wooden replica of a Kentucky rifle) and stuffed animals standing in for game.

I wonder how old he should be before I start him on a .410?
