My friends fathers 70's 870 wingmaster on a mallard. My gun broke so he gave me his and took up calling.
Iver Johnson 16 ga. single shot. Took 5 squirrels one day when I was 12.
I would have to ask my grandfather, but either a model 1100 on doves, or ithaca mag 10 on turkeys when I was very young. With the ithaca he would hold me and the gun and let me look down the barrel and pull the trigger. I was probabaly 5 or 6 when we first shot it.
My introduction to pest control was with a Marlin 39A, a lever action .22 rimfire.
My first mule deer fell to a Reminton Model 600 bolt action carbine in .308 Winchester, and my first whitetail was harvested by a Remington Model 700BDL in .30-'06. My first "dedicated" varmint rifle was a Sako Vixen heavy barrel in .222 Remington.
