It has been 65 years with some gaps, minor stuff like military, education, work and family. Most years I did get in a couple of days to hunt at least. First deer hunt was with Jack Ingram in OK in 1958 after we moved to OK, he was a life long memorable character, son of Baltimore Colts' Jack Ingram. Came out of the woods near 9:00 went to the Claremont Hotel to eat Breakfast, where we going, you will see, wow did I see... A total lifetime memory seeing the inside of that Hotel as a young shooter and lover of the gun makers art.
