I happened to see this sale bill and wish I had more money. It might be of interest to Model 12 lovers.

    No, I am sitting right in the middle of some pretty good deer country. I see them nearly every day but I've never hunted them. My passion was always bird season but that has gone down the tubes around here lately. Quail populations are way down and I hear pheaseant #'s aren't that great. So I don't hunt near as much as I used to. However, I kill a lot of tin cans, but I have never found a way to prepare them so they taste worth a d@*n!
    I'll get down to see you again sometime soon. wundudnee

    wundudnee, That is an extremely interesting auction bill! I'd love just to get to see them! The 2 BDL's in 17Rem interest me and I might could afford them but not the classic Winchester stuff! As to wildlife, I see deer everyday here usually more than I want to see! (eating my alfalfa) Turkeys are so plentiful it's not even interesting anymore but yesterday while driving around the alfalfa behind my house I saw a pair of quail and 12 babies!!! About 2/3 grown and that made my heart flutter! I haven't seen a wild covey here for 5 years! Maybe the foxes and winged predators won't find them. Come to think of it I haven't seen any winged predators here for awhile! Wonder what happened to them? GHD

    wundudnee:
    Same here with the bird population. Do you shoot any trap or skeet? I kinda hate to admit it (because opening day of pheasant season is like a national holiday here) but I would almost rather spend the afternoon shooting at clay pidgeons than walking 10 miles in waist deep underbrush to shoot birds that nobody wants to clean. With the pheasant population down like it is, it is almost too much work to get a few birds.
    Spent this afternoon shooting at metal plates with a buddie of mine that owns the local gunshop. I took my Colt H-Bar out and my AR-10. This guy means business,, we started shooting at 400 yds and then went to 550 yds then to 700. His first shot at 700 he hit the 'coyote' size plate with his springfield 03-A-3 with IRON SITES!!
    Sure was great to get out and shoot,,,I hope you and interstatepawn take care!!,,sod

    GHD,
    You are right on that classic gun stuff. I couldn't stand it and would have to shoot those NIB things and drop their value about half. I have seen 1890's advertised as being in unopened cartons. If I can't shoot it, I probably won't ever have it.

    As for the predator birds, it could be West Nile virus. The local zoo has lost two eagles and an owl so far this fall.

    As for the turkeys, they are getting so thick around here they should put a bounty on them.

    sodbuster,
    400-700 yards!!! Hey, we don't have anyplace around here you can see 700 yards. Around here you would have to see through two hills to see 700 yards. The only time I ever shot trap was a few times just for fun. Several years ago I was one of those guys that decended on you folks every fall. Pheasant season was like a national holiday. It was something that you planned out for months ahead. I didn't miss an opening day for probably 35 years. Met some really nice people on my trips to Western Kansas. Also met nearly every fire bush and sand burr in every ditch west of Hays. Many good adventures.

    I love model 12's, and I just about drooled over the sight. It's not every day you get to see a new pre-64 model 12 that is still in the box. I just wonder what kind of prices they will bring?
