There was a period in time where we put everything in a crockpot with cream of mushroom soup. My latter years, I really enjoy fried rabbit quarters with mashed potatoes and gravy

We have an abundance of tiny desert cottontails in this section. They recovered nicely from an epidemic of hemorrhagic fever a few years back. Wonder how they taste, living out there in the desert among the creosote bush, cholla, yucca and ocotillo.

Yes, Italian. Nice "street sweeper" with folding stock and sash hook. Fits nice under a coat!

Have you tried 00 buckshot yet?
I bet that yours is a "blast" to shoot!
One of these days I would like to get the barrel checked and be able to shoot this one. I do not want to destroy something this beautiful and old. Maybe after some other projects I will try and copy this one including the folding stock and oval barrel.

After my camping trip this weekend, I’ll get out with 00 buckshot and report back.
