That Side-by-Each he's holding was bought the same year he was born....1925. His father bought it new. It is a 12 ga. LeFever. All the way home that day Pappy kept repeating "The Old Man would never believe I shot a Wild Turkey with his gun". When Pappy was born in '25, Michigan turkeys had been totally extirpated for nearly 30 years. Last edited by J.Morse; 04/09/25 03:32 PM.
