Interesting Ron. I used to feel as I think you do/did. I published a feature story in "Sports Afield" back in the '70's called "hunting the turncoat". Shotgun (double barrel but not flintlock" Take a look if you can find it, I'd like to hear your take on it. Nowadays, at age 62, it's about all I can do to stand the "grind" of working daily; although I still can bench 250 and draw a 60# bow easily for practice. Mentally I've about reached my tolerance for bs...guessing you know what I mean. Hunted the Texas Sweat with Curtis and the guys a couple years ago and still 'member it fondly. Would like to hear from you. !! Best Wishes!
