Dad Joke thread
my 10 yr old has been learning economics, talking careers etc. in social studies. Last night at the dinner table she says, "Today we talked about that if you learn and do well in school, then you can get a better job and stuff, is that true?" Me: "1000 percent"- crock239

Suggestions for a quail gun?

School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country

Suggestions for a quail gun?
Some great options already listed. I've got a franchi 48AL that fits the bill perfectly. Recently acquired for about $300 from a bird hunting mentor who's aging out of the upland game. 20ga, 5.2-5.4 lbs (don't remember exactly but it's even lighter than my 20ga Beretta o/u). Mine has 26"... -
