Ten Years, and still plugging along
« on: June 28, 2025, 10:19:53 AM »
What a difference a decade makes.  I posted these photos on FB and got an interesting (to me) reaction.
Ten years is a long time. Lotta ground been covered. Lotta grouse in the pan. Lots more out there waiting.  :tup:
Anybody else have photos they can compare from last year and 2014?  Me in the green shirt back in 2014.  Tan...last September. Both opening day shots.
Same shotgun, 20-gauge Franchi Legacy. Different sixguns...41 Magnum S&W and .45 Colt, Ruger New Vaquero.

And the calendar continues to count down toward the Monday, Sept. 15 opener, and we will all be sure to have our shotguns oiled, our fluorescent orange vests and hats clean and ready, and our hunting boots all set!
