I wish we had a 'real' squirrel to hunt up here. All we have are the noisy little pine squirrels. Spruce and Ruffed Grouse are about the only small game up here, besides rabbits. Partridge are listed in the regs, but are not indiginous(sp?) to the Arrowhead Region. I have seen a couple of woodcocks. At least I think they were! They flew straight up in the air and took off in an erratic pattern, kinda like a bumblebee!

Hi Charlie ! The hulls are RST Best Grade #6 Shot ,and you are right ,they really don't get too far from the old 10 Ga. ! I carried that gun for Squirrel and Pheasant ,works just as good on one as it did the other ! I just recently sold the old girl and sent the new owner these pics. and wished him as much enjoyment as I had carrying her ! Russ

Hibbing- Mesabi Range area
1920's The Grey Hound Bus Co. started there- ferrying miners on the twice a 24 hr. day shifts- Also may have been the town Sinclair Lewis had in mind for "Main Street" and "Babbitt" novels. During the dark depths of the 1930's Depression era, Hibbing was still a bit of a boom town, due to the iron ore rich areas just West of Duluth. Believe a few MLB players started there, and 1959 HHS Grad Robert Allen Zimmerman still finds his "Shelter From The Storm" up there where "The Wind Blows Heavy on the Borderline"--
As for them tree rats and the 10 bore hammer Parker- nice fotos indeed, even those shown with their nuts in their mouth. As I hunt pretty much like a sniper, I still like a scoped .22 with hollow points when the leaves are turning and falling down in October- If I were to hunt them now, with the green foilage, guess I'd take my old 20 ga. M12 and some 1 0z/ 7 & 1/2 red Winnie paper loads (left from my youth, before I went the 12 gauge route)- that way, if I flushed a grouse, I could miss him with the proper gauge and load, albiet not fired from a Paaaarkar!!- Like Mr. Spiller
