Dean, more than you know. As Dad got older, like many of his generation, shot shells were never separated, just returned to any empty box. Well hunting pheasants in Rhinebeck NY, with his 3 Brittanies, who were as odd as he was at times, pointed and flushed two cockbirds at once. That old 24 emitted an odd sound and one rooster literally blew apart. Dad loaded the right barrel with "00" buck and that pheasant never stood a chance. His words of wisdom were " don't have to gut that one, just put him in the soup"

Well, as some might say, That has to be the defining answer that any gun can have soul! That story is why some men will be buried with a favorite shotgun or rifle and a box of their favorite shells, a fifth of their favorite beverage to fight off the cold and no doubt wearing their finest L L Bean boots under a hand sewn suit chosen by their wife. The gentlemen should be carried to his final resting place in a solid walnut coffin in the back of his favorite 1948 Ford F-100. The head stone should note that such a gentleman will rest in peace until the final Hunter's horn is blown to call us all to the great hunting lodge in the sky where all old dogs and hunting buddies will be waiting.
