I pinched it off him in the seventies and shot hundreds of animals with it.
My daughter pinched it off me when she was old enough (shot her first deer with it when she was eleven).
A lot of family members and friends have shot their first deer with it.
It's got a new barrel, but is just an old work horse. But it's special.
