I would love to shoot one just to see what it is like.

And there is a shop near by here where the owner collects big bore muzzleloading doubles, there are some 10, 8 and a couple 6's on the rack. The prices are a bit steep. I was asking about them one time. The guy behind the counter said the owner finds most of them in the Cheasapeake area, and prices them like that because hs does not care if the sell or not. If the sell at that price he goes looking for more.

When I was a good bit younger I used to loathe the state of Maryland !

Then in my early years as a young man I started going to the Eastern Shore of Maryland for a couple steam engine shows . Later I started hunting Sika deer there and whitetails in Southern Maryland .

Now I would like nothing better then to own perhaps 70 acres in southern Dorchester County that was Sika friendly .

The waterfowl never called me there but the little Sika whistle sure does !

Of course Michners novel "Chesapeake" had alot to do with me being intrested in the area .

Now I need to figure out why the punt guns , 8 gauges and 10 gauges intrest me so much
