Evening Decompression

[Dusty_Traveler]

We got about 18 raindrops today. Cooled off enough to justify another circle through the woods. Didn't kill anything but a horseapple. Skeeters were just bad enough to buzz your ears. Come on fall.

Ain’t nothing like a good dog. That’s a fine looking rifle as well.

Nothin like it at all.

Thank you sir, it's a Navy Arms mule ear in .36. One of its previous owners had some top notch inlay skills. The rifle shoots great, weighs nothing.

Haha! He's my hound, but he's not a trained professional. He's a heeler catahoula mix best I can tell.

Oh for sure. The squirrels give him hell in the yard. I think he feels a little bit of satisfaction too, when we do get one.

how were the ticks and chiggers?

I went in without any dope this time, and believe it or not, didn't get bit by anything but a couple of skeets. Didn't even find anything crawling on me. Only things I can figure is that last winter we had an unusually deep freeze, and its dry as a bone out there.

I put a lot of stuff on when I was done at the southern Va house, and it kept the chiggers at bay. I still had a couple of ticks crawling on me. The ticks are bad here in southern Pa.
