I'm so old that my artificial joints are going to start getting replaced after turkey season, oth knee and hip, just wore them out. The crack about staying home if you can't hunt with a shotgun weighing in at over 7 pounds is pure stupidity. I still use firearms weighing up to and a little over 7 lbs. but the heavier ones are blind shotguns for waterfowl hunting. Some of us for various reasons have physical diabilities that make a heavier firearm impractical. I hope that this never happens to you, I don't wish it on anyone. I've been hunting for over 60 years and if I need a lighter shotgun for grouse or woodcock so be it. Even if I have to get off road tires and 4wd for my wheelchair I'll chase grouse and woodcock with my 6 lb. shotgun.
