30 or so years ago, I use to hunt up in a swampy bottom, that had just about anything a fellow wanted to hunt in Louisiana. Many times I took my 30-30 and my 12 ga. Hunt ducks at daylight and then go get on a deer stand. After a while, get down and kill squirrels, it was a hunters paradise.
Anyway, I wanted a 20x20 over a 30-30 and my BIL found one in Houston, for a small fortune. IIRC, they wanted more for that gun than I paid for my new truck. Being a young fellow with a family, I just couldn't pull the trigger, so to speak.
Same BIL found a over/under 30-30 over 20 ga for about $300, but again, that might as well have been 10x's that much, cause I didn't have that much to spend on a gun, either.
It's tough being young and broke!
