    Thoughts and Prayers for Dave McCracken

    Back from the Shore....

    SM, I agree about the friendship. I'm not ashamed to say Dave and I said our goodbye's with a hug and I know that spending time with someone you consider a friend is much more important than how much game we saw or harvested. I lost my one brother, at trhe age of 37, last year and it's...

    Back from the Shore....

    The REST of the story What a hunt and now the REST of the story. Dave and I have been good friends for years. We don't hunt as much as we used too. His shoulder injury prevents him from bowhunting and since the passing of my middle brother Dan last year, shotgun season has become a family...

    Oldest Shotgun You Have?

    My dad told me a story of how he and his dad (my grandfather) and some friends went pheasant hunting a bird jumped up way ahead of them. My grandfather pulled up the gun and nailed it. The guys were amazed. I guess the long barrlel helped hold the pattern together longer or my Granpap...
