A bit of nostalgia: Pops bought me a Daisy BB gun in '82. I'd love to know how many times it has been fired. Many a tweet but I was a country kid and now I feed them. I always kept it well.

This morning I was sucking coffee at the kitchen table and the cat was making a fuss in the window. No birds in the feeders and I caught a mousee on a rock patio picking up birdseed. Cat got first dibs as I cracked the door and no go. Propped the door and grabbed the Daisy from a closet... sure enough it was still there. 25ft, first shot was high and it scurried 3ft into a pile of last fall's picked weeds, 2nd shot rolled it and it took four more to end all movement.

Guinness Ghille and old-school Daisy kill.

Honestly when I first read the title of the thread I was thinking there was going to be some pics in here of Catherine Bach

That's why I wandered in here....

I sent it to a friend and he replied asking me if I brought it in to be registered (WI has whitetail registration upon kill).
I owe this;

I was thinking something like this for the mount. Something that really captures the moment.

I got my Daisy when I was 2, had to be '94. Oil it once a year, and it still works today.

That damn Red Ryder is accurate as all get out, I can lay a bb in the same hole time and again.

Today, I got her out and was out kickin around on the back porch, and saw a wasp nest, about 30 ft away, I brought up that RR and popped the nest down with one bb. Next bb that came out of that barrel put the wasp on the ground too. Big thanks to Daisy for countless hours of less expensive entertainment!
