Hunting with wood and blued pump action shotguns

[Max-4]

I have come to realize that I am a traditionalist when it comes to a lot of things. When it comes to shotguns nothing gets my blood pumping like seeing a classic Model 12, 870 wingmaster, 37 Featherlight and a brace of ducks or a few pheasants. I think there is nothing more beautiful than a weathered pump action shotgun. I would love to see your pictures of your pumps with some ducks, pheasants, partridge, rabbits or whatever else you got. I also really like reading about hunts with these types of shotguns or articles that have been in magazines or online. Please help me out here with some "pump action ####". Thanks

Does this help? My customized 1932 mfg Model 12 with 28" barrel and Briley Series 2 chokes.....my first Snow Goose, a greater.....Fish Bay, Lake Nipissing 1994



Again that same Model 12 about 16-18 years later and alot more blue wear.....Immature Pintail taken with it...



Not a gun pic but that Model 12 shown above is responsible for about 90% of the duck bands and about 10% of the goose bands I have taken in 35 years of waterfowling....


And again........what can I say? The Model 12 is a killer of a shotgun!! I know I have more old pics, I'll keep looking.

This one is new and has not been "exposed" to any game yet. (goose opener September 01..) It is nice to be able to purchase a new blued/ walnut gun in this day of synthetic/camo models. (photo courtesy of Cory the Cowboy)
