That would be me...In NC we are not required to wear orange on our own land...I give talks on the American Revolution to Boy Scout troops and local schools...I wanted a period picture of myself so while squirrel hunting one morning, I walked by my game camera...

I usually have to wear the camo and orange hat or vest when hunting...

The rifle in my hand was made by the late Bob Watts, one of the gunsmiths written up in Foxfire 5...I bought it from him in 1975...The rifle on the buck was one I made in the '80s...I wanted one that would pass for a rifle made in 1770 here in the Piedmont of NC...That style rifle could have been carried by Daniel Boone when he went into Kentucky for the first time in 1769 or it could have been used in the battle of Guilford Courthouse against Cornwallis in 1781...
