I primarily hunt Tyndall AFB here in NW Fl and was seriously considering purchasing a Savage 220 f 20 ga slug gun. Enough so that I have already started to buy ammo at $12.00+ a box of 5. Once sighted in I will most likely only shoot it again at live game.
The high price of ammo got me to thinking of my father who passed away several years ago. He hunted with a Remington semi auto chambered in 30-06 that he used every year to harvest a couple of deer. 2 shots. 2 deer. Then back into the cabinet for another year. He never touched it otherwise, it was a tool, plain and simple.Year after year he repeated the same pattern. 2 shots. 2 deer.
He had other rifles and handguns that he would love to shoot, but in the end it was back to the 30-06.
It's funny how some things trigger memories and made me wonder how many other folks are the same way about certain guns.
