I was up by Pittsville... struck out.

Crazy foggy Saturday, got stuck in a stand that wasn't my usual spot. It was right next to a newly cut clear cut.

Sunday, rained hammers and horseshoes until noon. Saw the backs of two moving through the willow bats at about 100 yards. Never got a clear shot. Too thick.

Did have a good time though. Only three other guys at the cabin this year, I was the youngest guy by 25 years. My 1971 Marlin was the newest gun there. We had 1898 Model 94, a Remington #5 rebarreled to 444 Marlin by Munich Arms back in '68[? according to its owner], and an 1873 45-70.

Going down to my spot in Crawford County for the next few days.
