When "a bicycle is down" .... reality and social distancing, goes out the window!
It is time for a Super Hero.

So many shooting gadgets .... so little time!
Sort of hard to tell from the pen & ink sketch, but are the rifles an 1893 Marlin and a Winchester 54? My 54 in .30-30 looks a lot like that.
And is the Krag in the weather station photo a rifle with the fore end sawn off?

Hard to tell the guns at the shooting bench. They are probably generic 'guns' for the 'American Rifleman' cover.
The Krag has all its wood. The Sea Girt photo is just 'washed-out'. You can just make out a stacking-swivel.

Only killed 2 turkeys myself. The big plus was you could quarter them and not have to cook them all at once. They were not local ones so they had not been addicted to chilies. Once when pig hunting I watched a turkey and a deer checking each other out nose to beak. That was pretty funny.
Saw a fox a couple of nights ago, but no pictures. They can get pretty curious and fairly close, bobcats the same way.

I learned something this weekend. You do not have to social distance if you are rioting or looting. Truly sad to see. This is the so called magnificent mile in Chicago.

Interesting contrast of 'Old and New Pictures' - King Carp
IMHO - Current legitimate Protesters should re-evaluate and change their method of protest.
They are being 'played' and exploited by media, criminals, looters, out of control youths, arsonists and violent anarchists.
Mob lawlessness and anger has killed any valid message and righteous outrage.
Local leadership in some areas is proving to be very feckless.
Maybe it is time to 'turn off' some cell phone towers and break up the Circus.
(BTW - Wild Turkeys are very common in our locale. By reputation, their meat is tough and not great for eating.
There would be no challenge or 'hunt', they are always around.
I didn't poach. Domestic 'chill' turkey is a joke).

Kind of a double edge sword. Those same cell phone towers can pin point each and every looter at the time and place by using their cell phones GPS.

Can you say "Husqvarna"?
I never thought a harpoon could be so .... sexy?
After WW2, the Norwegians apparently made some Krag-Jorgensen 'Harpoon Rifles', but, it wasn't cost effective.
They reverted to propelling harpoons with modified Jarmann rifles.
Hmmm ... law enforcement .... fleeing looters, ANTIFA ... harpoons .... !
Naw, bad idea.
