Keavin Nelson's article stood out for me. Another great issue!

Congrats to the editors... Really enjoyed Mills Morrison`s article on Fred Gilbert and his runs with the Parker shotguns. One of your best editions...

Thanks Randy!

One thing to add to Harry's report, for years I thought of Havilah Babcock as a short story writer and non-fiction. A novel seemed odd for him so I didn't read it until recently. If anyone else has the same hesitation, the book will surprise you and it is really some of Babcock's best. There is a lot about his teaching philosophies which has nothing to do with hunting, but which I really enjoyed.

I really enjoyed Harry's article on Havilah Babcock it wasn't written like a kid wrote it. It was written like a man did ! I am having a lot of problem with that , its making me feel old. Great job Harry ! O by the way I never knew Dr Babcock but knew is nephew Webb very well

I really liked the article on the military Parkers, which is something I had know absolutely nothing about before reading this today.... while seriously freezing my a** off in the outhouse in sub-zero temps no less...

It must have been quite an absorbing article to sit and read it while so frigidly engaged....


I'll have to read it by the fire whenever i receive my copy.
