Started with a Daisy pump bb gun when I was about 9. Got my first "real" gun, a Stevens clip fed bolt action 410 when I was 11. My first game with that gun was during an organized fox hunt where about twenty hunters would show up. 5 hunters would walk into a section from each side. Whatever was in that section had to pass by one of the shotgun carrying hunters. I had a chance at a red fox running town a hedge row [osage orange] toward me. I shot when he was maybe 30 yards from me and he rolled. The fox had three broken legs. I still can't figure out how that 410 downed the fox in that manner. We had a bounty on fox [$2.00 ] if you brought in the ears to the court house, but the fox belonged to the club, and I got nothing. They sold the hide , too, but put on a nice feed at the end of the year. I think that this year is my 63rd.
