Yeah.. 77/22 - it's quite possibly the first year they were made. You couldn't find one to save your butt. if you could find one they were selling for over retail. Somehow a local kid (outlaw) got his hands on one and as soon as I found out I contacted him and told him if he decided to sell it - I'd be interested. I pretty much knew he'd need money before long. When he contacted me I low-balled him (back when people were impressed by hundred dollar bills ) and damned if he didn't take it. If you had all the squirrels in one pile that old gun has killed you'd have... well.. a big pile of squirrels.

Warbles, wolves, bots.. we, for all practical purposes, ain't got any. I'm glad. Ugly dam things. Only seen one in my life and that was on a dog. I do know they get them on cattle occasionally.

Bagged out yesterday morning - and again this morning.. Looks like we might have the best numbers in several years.
