An old Atlas 28 gauge over/under...it was my dad's first shotgun his parents bought for him. It was the gun my two brothers and myself got our first squirrel, rabbit and quail with. It was stolen last year and never turned back up...I'd probably give about anything for dad to have it back (along with the quail and rabbits that we used to chase with it).

18 Bore Birmingham SxS muzzle loader. I load it like a 16 gauge. About 6-1/2 pounds. It has a thumbpiece engraved L.R. in script. I have often wondered who that might have been.  Next is a 20 gouge Remington 870 Special Field. My brother loaded up some 1 oz loads with super hard #6 shot. Carried very little hair into the wound and penetrated deep. |

SxS shotguns. My all time favorite was a savage fox 12ga with 26" barrels bored skeet and skeet. Like a fool I sold it off years ago. I just traded my m887 nitro mag for a stoeger SxS with 28 inches and screw in chokes...imp cyl and modified  |

Depends on the day and area I hunt. Usually use the 20ga 1187 youth. Not alot of walking I'll carry the red label 20. Hunting where it won't get scratched the browning .410. Looking for a SxS 28 and .410.

My dad's old stevens 16 gage single shot. I loved that gun growing up and still like it today. Not fancy but effective.

Sterlingworth fox 20 gauge double. It was my grandmother's gun she got when very young. It brings in more memories than game. Fun gun to carry too.

My all time favorite was a Savage model 24 o/u in 22lr and 20 gauge wish I had never sold it.Now I hunt with a Mossburg 500 youth model 20.I keep looking for a 24 at the gun shows but they have gone way out of my price range.

For anything moving, I need as many projectiles flying in the desired direction as possible. I use a 12ga. I had a 1961 26" Browning O/U. Had to sell it this year, but sure did enjoy that gun.
Oh man, rabbit hunting was the most fun I think I've ever had until I shoot my first turkey this coming spring.

T/C contender pistol .410 LOL, I can't imagine this. I have to be one of the worst shots at something moving. If this was all I had to use, I might as well just take my camera. ...but I'm happy for you. |

If this was all I had to use, I might as well just take my camera. ...but I'm happy for you. Totally different behind the dogs. Once they jump the rabbit and they all stretch their legs that bunny comes back around on the average 50+ yards in front on the dogs. He's usually just hippoty hopping down the trail. I'm batting 100% with the .410 this year. I did have one yesterday though that they circled in some type of cane. This stuff was 12 foot tall. I bet they circles in there 5 to 6 times. All if a sudden they came quiet right in front of me. I knew that ol bunny was sitting there somewhere. Well when they finally jumped him he came tearing outta there like his tail was on fire. Only one I had to put effort into shooting this year. The key to shooting the .410 is to forget it's a .410. Don't be intimidated. |
