With my dad unable to hunt anymore my mother wanted me to start getting some of his guns cleaned up. It’s a sad day, we have not hunted in 8 or 10 years but time marches on. Here are the first two I picked up this weekend.

Pre 64 30-06 that dad bought in spearfish South Dakota in the late 50’s.
Heavy duck gun Model 12 3”magnum. He bought it as a graduate student at Southern Illinois University in the mid 50’s.

All of us will face this one day…I did with my dad. However my dad’s 30-06 had a cracked stick but I ended up replacing it. My dad is now gone but I will be using his 30-06 to take my leopard knowing he is smiling down from heaven seeing his son doing something he always dreamed of but never did
