Spent Tuesday up in the Eagle River, WI helping my friend close up his cottage. Saw lots of golden Tamaracks. God I hate walking through a Tamarack swamp this time of year. You always end up with a ton of tamarack needles done your neck.

Stopped at a small gun shop on the way back and found a rifle I really need. It was a Tika in 6.5x55. First one I've ever run across in a 6.5. Wood on it was terrible, but the action was a smooth as glass.


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
