Default Fond memories

I fondly remember the days sitting with my father in the woods of
Taghkanic, NY watching for Gray Squirrels and listening ti the Drum of Partridge. I haven't seen nor heard a Partridge in at least 25 years around here. Sure do miss them and those great days.

Alas, Dan, I fear that there are many who might voice the same sentiment. A healthy forest is not always the one that shows up in calendar pictures.

Just for you Bill here are some pics of the 6.5X55. I shot a buck with the Hornady 140gr SST and had 81% weight retention.

Nothing like having something beautiful to fondle while waiting for game.
