Default Old School Gentleman

I have had the pleasure of being invited on a multi-day group hunt for a few years now. It is a family event. The patriarch is 92 and he "manages" the dove fields from spring to harvest. He carves his own decoys, which most of us use. He shoots a 410 and is good with it.

Today, I shot next to him (I used a 28 gauge)....so he walks very slowly to my hay bale hide after I missed a bird. He looks at me and asked why I needed such a big gun. I told him to go ahead and give it a try. He took 2 birds with 2 shots. Hands the gun back and said, I guess it will do. That interaction will stick with me for a while. It is not about the doves.....
