We humans are visual creatures, drawn to the beauty of our surroundings. Now, years later, I am the keeper of future hunts and forthcoming memories of this vintage pump shotgun. My grandfather used this shotgun a few years after World War II ended, then passed it along to my father, who shot his first turkey with the Ithaca M37. ![]() Two previous generations of duck hunters owned and used this very shotgun. For a solid ten minutes I stared at the shotgun in quiet contemplation. I repeated my routine a few times and gently laid the pieces back onto the cleaning mat. I went to work removing the barrel and spraying down the cold steel. In preparation for the upcoming duck season, I spent part of my afternoon cleaning my old Ithaca Model 37 shotgun. ![]() A reliable, antique shotgun holds generations of memories in the duck blind
