Also, those other columns are for birds killed with it by my All Purpose Boy(3) and his late Grandad (1). The deal closest to the trigger is a cheesy Bobcat track. The two hash marks under it are for a couple 'cats I called up and peeled with that gun. They are a bit harder to come by in these parts! Last edited by J.Morse; 04/22/19 11:58 AM.

I like seeing guns that get used. nothing against a shiney show piece I just like guns with a little character better.
