That is cool!  My grandpa was hunting tha area then, and my dad also at that time.  Do you know the general area they hunted then?

I wish for the life of me that I had a GPS when I used to hunt with my dad.  For the most part all I remember about those hunting trips is riding in the back of a camper, arriving late at night in the dark, and getting up the next morning in the dark to hunt. I know we often went in from the Oak Creek side and hunted in several areas on top of Bethel Ridge but I couldn't be more specific.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Those were the good old days huh Bob!!
