a Huntin' coat with some MOJO!
« on: May 07, 2011, 09:57:00 AM »
So my Grandfather passed away a few weeks ago and yesterday my Grandmother found his "old" hunting coat and gave it to me. There all kinds of goodies in the pockets to boot! The below pics show the coat and some of the goodies, including his last deer tag, hunting regs, a bunch of old matches and a hunting knife that has seen more hunting seasons than me.

So I was thinking I should try to wear this coat a couple times this fall for the MOJO.

What do you think.

Great well made jacket similar if not Carhartt. Just bet your gramps would love you wearing his coat. Really fine knife also.

He wasn't much of an archer, I believe he shot them on and off in his younger years. There were  quite a few muzzeloader items in the pockets that I didn't show in the pics. I have his old flint lock also and would love to be able 2 take a deer with it one last time.

I will never forget the day after my Mom's funeral.  I couldn't stand being inside the house so I went on an opening day dove hunt.  I couldn't miss a dove if I tried!  She knew what would sooth my soul!

There is MOJO in that jacket and knife for sure man!  Even if you don't kill, there is nothing like having those things by your side.

BTW...
The Jacket is a Black Sheep brand from Texas?
It has a large game bag that runs around the jacket and can be accessed from both the back and inside.

Here is an old pic I found of him after what appears to be a great hunt.
