I always wonder why the dead deer in Rory's pics are smiling! Happy about not having to deal with all those damn petting zoo visitors anymore. .

I'll risk posting pics of a couple non-Savages. Top is a deluxe grade Remington 721B 30-06, bottom is a deluxe 722B in 257 Roberts. Both have been traded down the road once I caught the Savage bug. They were purty, but I don't miss 'em. Rod

John - the Michigan woods and the Minnesota woods often look pretty similar. Here are some pictures of the woods we hunt on. For most of us, the woods are about the best place to be. Some here will recall that last December before he died, my Dad told the minister, "the woods are my heaven" and for his entire life, there was no where in the world he would rather be. Here is a picture of us vs. the beavers. For all of my childhood and young adulthood, the woods I was most familar with and enjoyed stayed the same. Then, the demand for fur fell way off and people quit trapping beaver. This had a dramatic impact on the landscape I was familar with. I noticed it quick because my shoes and pants got wet a lot more often! Here was are trying to push back (unsuccessfully) the persistence of the beaver - In the picture is my son (far left) my dad (far right) my uncle (also on the right) and me (closest to the middle) -

Not as nice as that lovely 141, but here's a couple of nice working class Remingtons, a 1928 Model 14 in .35 Rem and a 1914 Model 8 in .32 Rem: Rod

It works better but the only difference is it takes the beaver a bit longer to build them back up

And now for something completely different. A couple of views of my 'go to' muzzleloader that I scratch-built a few years ago.
