I'm kinda like greybeard guns come and go. The one I wish I still had was a mossberg 22mag bolt action. it was probably the most accurate gun I ever owned. I have my birth certificate, my original social security card. An original copy of my hunters safety course certificate. All of my dads patches from his WWII uniform. A wooden duncan butterfly yoyo that my oldest brother bought in 1956 and handed down to me.

I have an Imperial Hunting Knife that I bought for a $1.00 in 1958... It's the one with the Elk head on the handles... It is very sharp and still using it when I go hunting...I wouldn't sell it for a $100.00, and have a lot better knives to use...But it's just something about that knife... ;D
Beware of the man that carries a single shot rifle, because there won't be any warning shots!!!
