[Old and Reliable]

[QUOTE=E Robert Fabian;5736]Dean, I just finished Bare November Days, If you get a copy and hold onto it long enough I think you will rely enjoy it. I am not familiar with the book Dean "mis-placed" at the recent Vintagers gathering. Is it mainly about grouse hunting, which I surmise may be our friend Dean's main passion when afield with a Parker? Who wrote it? I like the late Havilah Babcock and his stories about hunting quail and fishing for bream in a long-gone Southern era. My favorites of all his great stories are "Slim Boggins' Mistake" and "Tennesse"--I never read any of Ruark's African stories as other mentioned herein, but his classic "The Old Man and the Boy" is timeless.
