P.S. - I actually never did any hunting the 9 years that I lived in Nevada
My ex wife felt that it was selfish and unfair of me, to go off by myself, and leave her and the kids at home.
So I never did one single day of hunting during our entire marriage ( including all the time we were in Nevada ), and only went target shooting a handful of times. I did not buy a single gun during the marriage also, as my ex would not approve of that either, even though I was the only one working, for most of our marriage. ( Mind you, our second date was to go target shooting at the local gun range. )
My ex has been absolutely furious with me for having given my son his first gun at age 15 1/2, and buying him more since then. That Browing A-500R that you see in the photo is that very first gun that I gave him. It has remained my son's favorite firearm ever since.
The gun was used, but in great condition when I bought it for him. The stock was cracked, though, and it got worse. But I mangaed to find a brand new replacement for it. I also bought Todd some extended Briley choke tubes, and finally one of those awesome EasyHit fiber optic sights that are imported from Sweden.
