Ithaca 37 16 ga.
Purchased it new in Baker,Oregon in 1972.
Was used primarily for chukar hunting. Used to be a ton of them around.
I had to have my 870 12 magnum repaired so I ended up using the Ithaca for all of my bird hunting that year. Even got a goose or two with it.
It has a 28" barrel. It was full choke and shot patterns tighter than a bulls a.. in fly time. Had it opened up to modified. Still shoots good patterns. Occasionally a bunch of shooting buddies get together and shoot at a local gravel pit. Every now and then we will bring a trap along and shoot some clay pigeons. I can still out shoot the other guys usually getting 22 to 24 out of 25.
Most use lately has been for blue and ruffed grouse in the Blue Mountains south of Pendleton. My oldest grandson has dibs on it after I hit the long trail.
Happy Trails!
