Yup, I got my copy straight outta Forest City, Maine and dove right into it as soon as I could find time to sit down.

A very nice read with a lot of Old Pat's Society history and shenanigans too.
And Art writes about other experiences as well, not just the Old Pat's stuff. He writes about the hunts, the people (you'll recognize some of the names) the guns (mostly Parkers) the pranks, the memories, and some special nostalgia too. I'm glad I got the book - it's a keeper and it will stay in my library (except when I loan it to my grandson.)

I picked up my copy while in Forest City last month and have thoroughly enjoyed it. At some point we will all have more hunts behind us than in front of us and while reading the stories of Art's 50+ years of hunting with good friends it made me stop and reflect on many of the great times I've had outdoors with family and friends. I'm very glad that Art took the time to put this book together and shared with us many of his special memories of friends and the outdoors.
