Upland Gunning by Wm. J. Shaldach

[Joe D.]

Harold, I am in Rostraver Twp. about 3 miles outside West Newton. Roughly 5 miles north of I-70 off PA 51. I'm about 45 minutes from Cabela's Wheeling. Actually, I am presently an eternity from Cabela's Wheeling but things will get better!
My Upland Gunning book does not have a dust jacket but is in pretty good shape. The art is great.

Well Harold got me intrigued and since I'm pretty much bored out of my mind currently I went in search of these books which were unknown to me before Harold's mention. Found the Upland book on the bay, 1946 edition in great shape. No dust jacket but I'm OK with it. The two volume set (Coverts & Casts and Currents & Eddies) came from ABE; was originally published in 1943 I guess and reprinted in 1970; this is the later edition, again in great shape and I'm a sucker for slip cased books, so there you go. Very nice art and some good old fishin' stories...can't go wrong...

[Harold Pickens]

Hope you enjoy them Phil. I sure did. Currently reading The Life and times of general Andrew Pickens, a revolutionary war hero from South Carolina who I was always told was a relative of ours. I'm sure Mills can attest that the name Pickens is not uncommon in South Carolina and northern Georgia area. Hopefully they are good people

[Phil Yearout]

Hope so too Harold. With a name like Yearout you pretty much know another Yearout is a relative of some sort, so you gotta take what you get. 'Course, so do they

6 bottles of head cement? One bottle lasts me years, until it gets too hard. You must tie a LOT of flies

[Phil Yearout]

I just checked and four of them are dried up; I just never get around to throwing anything out

[Woodcock survey]

When mine get a little thick I add lacquer thinner using a straw to pick up a small amount and shake and it's good for another year.
