Your opinion of the "Ducker" was also supported by the late Nash Buckingham. When you mention your father's Nitro Special, wonder if you have it yet today.? One of the best economy boxlock shotguns ever made- and a break-action shotgun is a first class choice for a road hunt--better than a magazine loaded repeater.

Years ago, a neighbor was detailing road hunting for grouse in Michigan's UP-- the gunner(s) rode on the front fenders of a Jeep (WW2 surplus) and used .410 single shots- popped the pat in the head with a load of birdshot-- Not the GBE approach to "Sir Ruff", but meat in the pot-

For families that made it through the Depression years, hunting was not so much for sport, but for food--
