I can see why you have such love for those Endless Mountains Frank. Those trails look like they would lead to some memorable experiences. I love Vixen's look.

Just beautiful Frank, and what a great picture of your Fox and its game. Makes me anxious for this Wednesday when I travel to my friends property in Potter County to chase your beautiful whitetails with a bow.

Either way, it's a great poem.

As i read it it said Archibald Rutledge to me. I usually do not like poetry and my english teacher granddaughter gave me a book of his poetry for christmas and it sounds like him and he did write for Harpers.

I do remember Frank mentioning that. After seeing Grumpy and his buddy I don't think I want to hunt them but I won't turn down the opportunity if it arises.

Nice Frank....love the English grip on your Fox, few of them around! My older brother got one from my dad. It was a sweet little 20 SW that had a hi-grade English stock with the correct long tang guard. Savage period SW could be ordered with strait stocks. No Philly SW were made that way. I have an A-grade 16, English stocked with killer wood that I have hunted roosters with.....I call her Stormy Seas....(-: SXS Ohio
I have hunted grouse in Potter County with a good friend. We hunted Thompson and Cherry Springs areas, Killed my biggest adult grouse ever over his Ryman Setter. West Nile did a job on our Grouse and here in Ohio has killed them out for all intent purpose or productive hunting. Sad event for sure.

I have enjoyed Frank's photos of PA woods and streams for as long as I can recall.

Good on you once again, Frank, for taking the time not only to take those pics but to share them with an old flatlander like me. Well done.
