Off to visit the Reverend Droge in the morning then meeting my old Father and Mr. Russell for an evening hunt in the Cook Shack Blind. Always something to do when visiting here in Southern Illinois, particularly in the wintertime.

Boys those stories seem to ring true for all of us ,my postman got a chip carved sign for his front gate with the family name on it ...I always thought anyone who takes the time to do a good job needs to be thanked.

And development we can never escape it it seems ,even waaay up here in Newfoundland,everything is changing,grouse spots that I can't shoot in no more because of the new homes popping up ,the beach just a 10 min walk from my house where I could shoot at passing ducks now has a walking trail where no hunting signs will be posted ,I've been working on a hunting cabin for the past 6 years ,in a remote area of the province ,we need to cut a 1 km trail in to get the job done ,but I fear as soon as I do there will be others behind me staking out property on my sweat .

The promise of prosperity with the oil money on this little rock in the Atlantic didn't turn out the way I had hoped for sure .

Great story Destry,as always
