bangeye;
Thanks much to you and smokepole for the kind words, I appreciate them.
I know it wasn't too many years after that photo that Dad had me hunting snowshoe hares - "bush rabbits" - in Saskatchewan speak.
Then it was grouse and ducks, followed by my first big game animal and the rest as they say is but history.
Funny that I still get excited about the start of hunting season enough to lose sleep over it.
Our eldest daughter and I will be heading up onto the mountains behind the house on Monday as black bear season opens then. Ah, the fall is here and the expectation that it brings!
All the best to you and the rest of my 'Fire friends this season - may we all have a safe and memorable one.
Dwayne
