Next weeks gonna be a long one !

Tuesday I have to go to Lebannon PA to pick up our reloading component order for our shop and a friends shop about 9 miles away !

Thewo saving grace of this trip will be finally getting a MEC600 JR 16 gauge and an 8 pounder of IMR4350 to replinish my dwindling supply !

Plan on leaving that morning at 5AM it's about 3 to 3 1/2 hour drive from here . So I should be hitting up there right after they open up !
Get loaded and outta there by 9:30 AM and back down the road and hopefully home by 2 PM !

Take a good rest on wednesday back to the shop thursday and then leave friday morning around 8 AM for the trip to Cumberland MD (well actually a bit north just into PA ) .

Also next sunday I'm "supposed" to be going to the Blackwater NWR to hang a stand for the following fridays early ML hunt !

But I'm not sure if the refuge is open based on the bullshit thats going on in the house and senate over government employes !

Since the guys that run the place work for the Department of the Interior .

Safe trip, Craig.

Well this weeks finally over !

Made the trip to Shirk's tuesday . And just got home about 2 hours ago from Bedford Pennsylvania where we were able to get a 10 week old female Border Terrier puppy !

Was supposed to go to the Blackwater NWR sunday and hang a stand for next fridays early ML hunt . But since the governement went in the crapper all MWR's are closed until further notice :cuss:

Here are a couple pics of the little Border Terrier female we picked up today !

She's 10 weeks old !

i can see shes like all women dont want to be lead around....nice pup.... charlie

Well that was at a rest stop off I81 in WVA and we'd only had her about 3 hours at that time . Matter of fact the pic where I'm holding her was at the breeders house when we had just decided on her !

see you was up early too.. a friend of mine is coming by shortly we gona hunt for a bargain in a gun...hope the pups doing well... charlie

Well I talked with the hunt director at Blackwater yesterday !

And I'll be going up one day for the first day of the gun season !

And my mind is telling me to take the LC along loaded with #1 Buck .

Of course my Savage 220 bolt action rifled 20 gauge will go !

And since I only need to walk about 150 yards off the wildlife loop road I may as well drag both guns along . This is the same stand I killed my largest 6 point Sika in 2005 , also killed a pair of hinds in 2009 and a whitetail doe last year . Gotten something there each time I got that stand site !

how well does the little 20 ga savage shoot..good luck on the hunt... charlie
