NY guys may not be tough enough, but I know some guys that would shoot anything with those 12+ pound guns!!

The Wards Auction that started today has two 50 count (shoebox) boxes of Remington Arms Co., Inc. ARROW 8-gauge NPEs --

and three rather ratty 25 count boxes of loaded ARROW 8-gauge shells. The company became Remington Arms Co., Inc. in mid-1920, after the 8-gauge was outlawed for Federal Migratory Waterfowl. I have several pieces of Remington Arms Co., Inc. ammo paper, 1921, 1923, 1925 and 1927 and none list loaded 8-gauge ammunition and only one lists 8-gauge NPEs.

Also three boxes of Winchester industrial 8-gauge shells in the auction.

Mike you sure can take a quail slam with an 8 gauge. I have shot Gambles, and Scale quail but not a Mearns.
Now you have given me an idea, maybe this year will be the slam with an 8.
I have called in coyotes and shot them.
Legally you can shoot all big game also, with the exception of a Bison.
When I petitioned AZ G&F to allow the 8 gauge I wanted to take a Gobbler. Finally this year I drew a tag, plan on filling it with my 8 gauge WC Scott SXS. Only took 12 years,to draw.

Phil, the plan is to head to southern AZ in January 2025 for a quail slam. Watched The Flush and they did an episode on that. All it took was AZ in January, shotguns, birds and dogs to get the wheels turning! We’d use an outfitter and his dogs. Most likely fly out too.

Mike PM me your telephone number if you want to chat about AZ quail hunting sometime.

Hmmmm kill stuff with an 8 think I’ve used three different 8’s . Also have a partial box of 8 buckshot I got from Wild Bill Joliff ! Might have to see if I can’t knock off a deer with period correct factory load !

[6pt-Sika]

Don’t think I wanna pursue quail with my 8 . But I’ve got two factory original short barreled open choked 10’s I plan to use atleast once each .
