48, going on 29. My first real double was a 20 gauge Darne, that I wish I still had, purchased in the mid 1980s, after I came back to the outdoors from sabatical- I discovered girls and beer. Got that out of my system (mostly, I think).
Lost my first hunting partner, my Dad, this past Easter, and will always wish I had a few more trips with him. My son is three, and I have a few of his Grandfather's guns held in reserve for him. I still have a Darne to use. A couple others, too.
Looking forward to lots more time in the field and on the water with the little guy.
So it continues.
Best,
Ted
