One of the saddest sights I know, a beautiful farm with a for sale sign posted on it.

Craig, I grew up on the Peninsula between the James and York Rivers, and I quail hunted on paper company land in the piedmont in my youth, so I can see the similarities you mention. Trust me, though, it's only the photo that makes it look that way. This part of the Mid-West is not at all like VA...except that there are quail here (and some hold-out quail hunters).

Charlie, those are indeed old paper shells, but I was using RSTs and the shells in the photos were used only as props. Every so often I do use some of my old shells. They sure smell like they did in my youth when fired. I can vividly remember the smell after a shot, almost always while squirrel hunting, when I was accompanying my Pop in coastal Virginia. 50-plus years ago, and I can still smell those paper shells. Thankfully, the bulldozers and for sale signs can't take those memories away.
