My mom is a veracious reader of good stories and I remember the books onTravis McGee stacked up in the den's bookshelf. At that tender age, I was much more fascinated by the provocative covers of that series, than any content.

Before Covid, I used to cougar hunt at the Fry's in Sun City. At least the Bingo halls have reopened.

Dogbird on point.

Huge smoke plume

That's freaking awesome. Wish that skull graced my wall. Great job hunter and taxidermist.

Yeah let's hope it goes better than when she decided she wanted to start fishing....lol.

Interesting coincidence; day of the draw deadline my ol lady out of the blue says she wants to start hunting. Of course that affirmation came with a list of what she would not shoot; ie bunnies, cow elk, bear, etc. But hey what an improvement, she'll be in the draw next year for bull elk and deer. And I'm certain I can convince her that to get us and the horses out there in the sticks we'll need a new Dodge Cummins 4x4.

Sorry Oz, you're disqualified...

I drove along the AZ.P. Canal this morning, I lost count of the hundreds of quail in the first couple miles. Not yet spooky which raises the question, what's your favorite quail medicine? I think I'm going with a #6.

The change in daylight also spurs hair coats to grow.

This is exactly correct.

I came across this gun online being auctioned off. How unique it is. The army was different 140 years ago. Companies of men supplied their own food, did prep work and cooking. SN: 381 US Military issue foraging shotgun built using some musket parts, issued two per company to assist in gathering food. Bore is bright, with areas of pitting or corrosion. Metal is mostly dark plum brown color with bright spots from rubbing; lock plate is a dull silvery gray with patches of patina. Wood is fair condition, with visible cracks at wrist and in buttstock, many dents and gouges. Marked "1881" in italics on breech block. Condition is NRA Fair *** Antique Firearm * https://reatapassauctions.proxibid.com/Firearms-Military-Artifacts/Firearms/Springfield-1881-Trapdoor-Forager-20-Ga/lotInformation/56808416

Winner

It's an 1881 but neither a 45 0r 50 cal. Two of these were issued to each US army company at the time. Hint. Look at front sight.
