Well worth reading - there's even a bit about double guns on page 7.

Always looking for small bore Francotte SxS shotguns.

It seems our money is in demand. Other than that the magazine would be printing horrible things about hunting.

So many guns, so little time!

Maybe, or maybe they're just telling it like it is - hunters are the real backbone of conservation and habitat preservation.

Stories like this are a dime a dozen in the outdoor magazines - but those are read mainly by the 'choir'.

NG reaches many people beyond the 'choir' - maybe they'll consider what's being 'preached' in this article.

Thanks for posting the article.

It reminds me that we all need to take a few folks hunting or shooting at every opportunity.

Alexander Graham Bell lived and carried out many experiments in Nova Scotia, and his family includes the Grosvenors, the National Geographic directors, who spend a good parft of the year at the family home here on Cape Breton Island. The Bells and Grosvenors had/have nothing against hunters and anglers.
