Default Arkansas

Well we're heading to Arkansas this coming friday with the intention of hunting piggies and perhaps a duck or two the last day !

I will be hauling along several rifles , a revolver and two damascus shotguns of which one will be my somewhat abused circa 1911 Parker GH 16 gauge . The other is my #1 gun my W.&C.Scott 10 gauge 2 7/8" . I'll have buck loads and duck loads with me for both .

So push comes to shove regardless of whether I kill with the Parker the W&C or a rifle I'll post some pics !

The place we're going is perhaps 30 miles south of Stuttgart . Correct me if I'm wrong but this was Nash's big duck hunting area back in the day !

This I'll be my first trip into TN , MS , AR and LA so if nothing else it should be intresting just to see places I've not been before .

Thank you !

It's my intention to take many pics !

But you know how that goes , sometimes you get caught up in the moment and forget the camera !
However over the course of 10 days I should take some I would hope !

Well I'm back and no piggies for me !

Matter of fact I didn't see any except a dead one that a friend shot !

I did however see a heck of an Arkansas 10 point buck .

Took about 25 pics I'll try and get posted monday from the shop .

The day we arrived !






The main house at the camp !



The bunkhouse !











This was hanging on the outside of the bunkhouse !
They have to be the largest set of cotton scales I've ever seen in my life !
