Ellie and the second shotgun giveaway.
« on: March 22, 2010, 12:56:26 PM »
Well everything is in for my daughter Ellen, and the most gracious thanks from both of us. I've had a hard time getting a picture, it seems lately we've both been going in different directions as it sometimes happens. My wife told me the other day she saw Ellie in the living room with her 20 ga. and was running a rag over it to get the finger prints off, "like father like daughter" she said. I didn't know there were so many questions one could ask about a single shot shotgun but I've done my best to answer them. "No I don't think that if you had the chance to go bear hunting this would be a good gun to take". And "did you have this nice a gun when you were 15" etc, etc.

Here are three pictures of Ellie one I was able to get a pic. of her and her gun yesterday, one of her and her dog and one of her cheer leading at a basketball game.

Thanks to one and all you can't imagine how much fun dad has had and will have. This is a very special shotgun.

Thanks everybody this is truly great. Picture this, a 15 yr. old girl in the living room trying to make a turkey call sound like a turkey, PRICELESS. The drapes and curtins ripped from top to bottom, plaster came loose and the lights started to flicker. Had to go out side, laughed till I cried. Love it, Love it, Love it. I am the real winner here.
