My first gun was a winny model 37, 16ga, 30 " full choke...

My dad thought I could kill a deer with it if need be, whenever he wasn't using it for roadside Turkey shoots....

He couldn't drive past a roadside Turkey shoot without stopping.....

I never took a deer with that gun, but a stepson took his first deer with it.
