The essentials.

 

@CVYota. good evening Hell Yea! wish we could have met on your vacation. i wanted to get you redneckedLLOL

 

Erhh doubt very much that topos are a family tradition LOL.

My Grandfathers hunting jacket which is now more than 100 years old.



And the 16 ga. Ithaca 37 which he gave me, shot my first deer, bird, bunnies and squirrels with it. Refinished it a couple of years ago. And still works like a champ.

Tradition.

Heritage.

 

Amen brother.

Today I looked out the kitchen window and saw some turkeys about 75 yards behind the house. I was able to sneak within 20 yards for this picture.
Lower right is where dogs are buried. If you look close you can see the plastic black and white dog I have to mark Stars resting spot. I know she likes it there. Deer walk through all the time.

 

Yup played that one coming home

 

thats a pretty stock!! Dad has a Ithica 37 featherweight 12ga. Kicks like a damn mule. but a sweet shootin gun!

 

Nice Pic

 

I was able to get close because the trail I have goes through a thick stand of dogwoods.

 

our trees are dropping acorns and hickory nuts. fall is coming some leaves dropping in the mtn.

 

Yeah, wish I could have met all of you, I will try for another time

This is more my style

NicePost ! we always called it a hollow. thats neat the different names in other parts of the country. this new spot the only way to get one out is down the hollow. comes out to the road. then walk up to get the truck. way too steep to go back up hill.

 

Classic

 

Where the dogs are buried is a special place. I remember Star well. Way to tug at my hear strings. One of these days I need to buy a piece of pie from Stockholm pie Company. But I am also up to getting you and your wonderful wife some ice cream from a special place also..

Yeah it is that law of physics where Energy(Recoil) = Mass (projectile payload) x Velocity squared. It is Newtons law.

Reason the 37 is called the "featherweight" and it adds to the recoil equation.

Strange thing is when I was younger didn't put the recoil thing together and didn't care so much that they are lightweight. As I get older I do appreciate it though.

Ultralight 12 GA. after they moved to Upper Sandusky Ohio. 6 lbs. in SD for phez.



I am a wood whore though. And like American Walnut Crotch.

Prewar 1939 37T



16 Ga. 37R



And my main single barrel target gun is year younger than I am. 1959 37DVR.





I don't like to miss what I am shooting at. And the dog turns around and stares at me when I do. Swear he gets he gets pissed when I do. So do the work the rest of the year so I don't.

And if I do miss then I want to at least have a stick of wood that makes up for it LOL.

 

Growing up my best friend lived up Miller Holler. Erh guess the sign on the road said Hollow. Wait there were no street signs LOL. But that is what the topo's called it. And so did everyone else.

 

I have a Winchester model 88 .308. it is a lever action but stock is like a bolt action. man its a shooter. but the stock is ugly hardwood with stamped checkering saw one in a gun mag. restocked with a high grade walnut. always wantedto have a stock made for it but never did it. do you have sugestion on where to get one restocked?

 

My wife has a Sears (Savage) 30-30 with the ugly stamped stock also. But I'm leaving it original. You can still find them but they are pretty beat up when you do. This one isn't bad at all.
