+1 on number 10, too. If it’s an heirloom keep it, shoot it now and then, and get something else to hunt with.
I don’t intend to hunt with a scatter gun. I’ll treat this one as an heirloom. But I still want it to be functional.
I have always been a small bore long rifle hunter. Thought it to be more sporting. Also, after ONE waterfowl hunting foray, where I stood in shin deep ice water for hours, just to hope a target flew within range ... I have no personal use for that type of hunting. I much prefer to walk and stalk. Can’t do the deer stand thing either.
Thanks all for the advice.
