That area sounds like sw Arkansas before the paper companies moved in, killed all the hard wood and planted pine. My people who lived there during the Depression survived on squirrel, rabbit and greens. The single shot 12 was most common gun. In some areas there was a lot of palmetto, full of rattle snakes. Watch your step.

My Dad bought on of those model 12 three inch mags in 1956? I used it at a turkey shoot once. Back stop was a pond. When they say how tight the pattern was when it hit the water, everyone wanted my gun for their shot at the card.

Long shots were never a problem with that model 12.
