Whatcha gonna be shootin' them with this year? Primarily, I'm gonna use my camo 10/22. I dropped a BX trigger in it, and added a 3-9x Simmons 22 mag, on board. The scope has a 50 yd. paralax. My other .22s will be there for stand by.....

Down to 10 days. In honor of the upcoming season, I thawed out the remaining squirrels, and fried/baked them all. I had fried squill and a ripe tomato for lunch, and cold fried squill and a fried green tomato for supper[mama's out of town]. All washed down with a big ole glass of ice tea! Gonna go to the basement and wash my camos directly. maddog

the start here is on 15 aug. don't know if it's a local thing, but i don't believe the squirrels i've been seeing have the number of wolves in them that they do in some years.
some years they seem more prevalent than others. it suits me if i never see another wolve.

Ours opens in MN and WI on the 17th of September. I'll be in one spot or the other!
Exciting times coming. The shotgun won't leave the truck unless we're in the woods and the 20ga shells will be rolling around the floor until January.
Camp is where you make it.

Weather isn't looking to promising, for opening day. Thunderstorm threat in the morning. BTW Tom, I'll think about you every time I pull the trigger, on a limb chicken, over the next 5 1/2 mos. maddog
