Well I had just a great day with our very own Badger today. He drove up to my place to spend the better part of the day walking in our woods with a 22.
We spend the first half of the day just walking in the woods, pointing out things to each other like animal tracks and plants. He got to hear some history of the area dating back to the mid 1800's.
I gotta say it was interesting. Two "seasoned" outdoors men and yet we were still finding little meaningful details or tid-bits to share or compare. It was a very worthwhile walk. We jumped or saw 4-6 fox squirrels before finally deciding it was time to at least take 1 each for the sake of our TOO brothers.
I carried the Ruger 10/22. Any question of the scope and such was put to rest with a nice long shot snaked through the hardwoods.
Dale carried my Marlin model 39 with the side-saddle rear peep site. A family gun passed down that I have treasured. It was a pleasure to share that gun with Dale today.
Classic buddy shot
We have some large old trees. Here Dale looks at some carvings from 1900.
Yote Poop. He was telling me how many hours old it was...
And what it had for dinner...
Finally we shut up long enough to hunt. I took the first one.

And he took the second
