I don't meet many people out hunting, but our clay target and flyer shooting guys include a bunch of side by side shooters. Of course, side by sides are as much about collecting and history as they are about shooting birds. One of my friends admits to owning somewhat more than 70 side by sides, and others don't admit what they own in double barrel shotguns. I'm not talking. We are a bit of a hotbed of serious side by side shooters in the DC area. When I show up at the Southern or the Vintagers, it is like going to the local gun club, same faces.
