Can You Name That Classic Shotgun?
Chuck Fryzek with his first pheasant in 1962.
Martha Fryzek shared this photo of her son Chuck of Burwell, Nebraska, in 1962 with his first rooster and an unusual shotgun – one never seen in this blog.
“Pheasant hunting has been in the Fryzek family for a long time,” Martha wrote. “Chuck now has three sons – Christian, Aaron and Nathan. All of them like to hunt.”
I’ll post the answer Tuesday (Monday is Memorial Day, which reminds me: Fly the flag in recognition of the sacrifice our military men and women have made, and continue to make, for this country.)
Answer: A New Haven .410.
