Yes Montana, if I had the amount of open country available to hunt that you do then I would be hunting that instead of shooting clay birds myself. Spending time walking the countryside with your dog is what keeps us going for the next day in this life.
Most of the good areas that I used to hunt here in Kansas have faded away or been sold off |

It's why I live where I do.
However, MT - with all it's space, still more abundant than a lot of the country -
is undergoing changes too. Lots of places I used to be able to go, are now off limits. And many public places have way more folks changing the quality of the opportunities also.
I drove 45 miles from home today, up into some high country that I used to find no one else, and upon arrival two outfits were already parked there.
There are too many people period. Something we as a species can't seem to get a handle on.
Those of us who got to be around when access, resources, and a little more solitude were all more abundant would do well to consider our luck. |

Beautiful country you have out there. Tennessee hills are nice but the bird cover we hunted in the 70s is under someone's Coffey table or is a dang office building. I shoot , maybe a box of shells a year on wild birds. I do enjoy the woods, but its sure not like your countryside! I like to shoot, so clays make up for not getting to shoot at feathers. |

I got some saplings growing on camp 5 way yonder, but I don't know if theyd support a hammock.
over on camp 1 is one tree. sorta like a one armed man situation. good luck finding 2 trees.
sure hope it has one of those free standing metal frames.

cousin arrived today to look after the house while im gone. we made a good trade, he gets to have an off season vacation in va beach, and I get someone to look after the home during hurricane season.
what a deal!
a low threat tropical depression just skimmed us on the atlantic coast today. it was a non issue, so we'll be on the road real soon. see you guys in mo. |
