These pheasant hunt photos are from a hunt in South Dakota, around Miller, SD in 2009. Proof that vintage shotguns and hunters (yours truly) can still drop ringnecks. The guns are a Model 12 , 16 gauge, 28" modified choke, circa 1939; and a Model 97, 12 gauge, 30" full choke, circa 1926.

As a new member, I'm viewing many older threads. This model 97 hunt thread lite up my "What's This?" cells.
Nice pics of the hunter and the birds and the 97. GOA Life Member

All I have used for pheasants and quail are my model 12s 16 &20 Ga since '63 and a heavy duck gun for ducks . Used the 16 & 20 for ducks 'till the steel shot law.
Too old to be nice, never too old to learn!

I have a 1942 97 just because they are memory guns from my growing up years. My Uncle owned a 97 that I admired and loved to handle. Wish I could have inherited his.
