[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 98455, member: 2011"] jimm, I believe ya! I was 12 years old. First day of small game season. First time carrying a shot gun in the field, if you can call it a shot gun. 2 1/2 inch 410 bore, single shot w/hammer. Dad and I were headed to one of his friends to chase some cotton tails. A bunch of pheasants crossed the road in front of us. We pulled over. There were others there waiting for starting time. The time came, we hit the field. Pheasants flew every where. One went up in front of me and turned back over my head. I shot straigh up. Pheasant fell nearby and I retrieved my first bird. The sad thing is that I blew about a box of shells that day at pheasants and bunnies and got nothing more than that first rooster. When we cleaned it we found no BBs in it. I finally skined the head. Yep! One 7 1/2 shot had entered the bottom of the head and exited the top. Guess I was a lucky kid. The great thing is as old and decreped as I am, I'm playing that video in my head as I type. Its in color too! jimm, some time I'll tell you about my first coon dog. That's a story to top all stories [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
