I believe it I remember it well. Last year here we were ice in and had to cancel a trip.
Global warming or just nice weather. Europe is getting our bad weather from what I have heard.
I have to agree with you on caliber, I started out with a 40 caliber that I made off the stock and action of a 22 semi auto, next was a 45 then a 50 then a 58 then a 54 then a 62 and out of all of them I love a 54 with a PRB. It work the best for me for deer, bear and boar and the way it shot long distance and dropped animals on the spot is the reason I still take it hunting some times.
