Mike, you are so right. I remember when I was only a year or two older than my granddaughter and I got my first game with a 410. On the same day , I got a jackrabbit and a red fox. I don’t think either is 410 game, but it happened with my Stevens 410 bolt action. Later in the season I got my first pheasant . It fell into Little Tarkio Creek in SW Iowa. My uncle, who was with me teased that the bird really drowned. It took the bloom off a bit, but later he admitted he was just teasing. Hugs to him, long gone.
