Gentleman. I'm a clumsy man and my duck/goose gun shows it. 12 ga SxS naturally. One of those I Talian jobs. I don't call them nicks and such. I call all of those marks scars. I'll hunt 40-50 days a year. It's seen the bottom of rivers, creeks, lakes, swamps and anything else you would call something that holds ducks. It's gone for long rough rides down creek banks with me along side into fast water. Those are never intentional. It's been a boat oar a pole to keep off the lock walls a third leg walking stick in rocky streams. It sits in the barn between hunts with only a WD 40 wash to protect it and some grease wiped from the tractors PTO on the hinge before leaving. It's fully cleaned, lubed and polished up after every waterfowl season, whether it needs it or not. It's name is Deadon and the dogs name is Abbey. And I love'em both. The gun rides in the bed rolled up in canvas but Abbey rides up front with me and the doughnuts.
