Yea, I hear you, Keith-I have an "Unreplaceable" Italian single shot hammerless, folding 12 gauge that my Dad told my Mom to get for me. Worth about $100 used, and priceless in my gunsafe, to me.
The friend's ammo is at my house, too. When he was locked up, I filled a cooler at his house with the stuff, and brought it here, thinking if he gets told no guns, no ammunition, he would get some money if I sold the stuff.
Now, I have just one friend to hunt with this fall. Not sure how this is going to work. Wife and Mom frown on my being out on my own for too long.
Best,
Ted

Though I know I shouldn't, I probably hunt alone as often as I do with friends. Most of my hunting buddies aren't into muzzleloading season as I am. I try to leave an itinerary, but have been known to change my plans on the way, and hunt somewhere miles from where I said I'd be. The cell phone helps, but if I break a leg down in some creek bottom where there is no signal, it could get sticky. But I really do sometimes love the solitude of spending pre-dawn to post-dusk in the cold and snow without seeing another hunter. Your friends' situation is bad on so many levels. He is essentially guilty until he proves himself innocent... this by enriching his attorney and the courts. All it takes to find yourself in this situation is someones else's accusation, whether true or not. And if he was a golfer, he would not be denied the use or possession of his clubs. Even drunk drivers are permitted to keep their vehicles although there is no constitutional right to own golf clubs or cars. I'm surprised no one has attempted to overturn these laws on constitutional grounds.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

I hunt alone the great majority of the time. But, now that Dad is actually gone, I won't be able to call and invite him-the past several seasons, I knew the answer would be "no", when I asked, but, I called anyway. I would tell my Dad where I was (he knew the haunts as well as I did) and let my wife know if I wasn't home by such and such a time, to call Dad.
Dad always called in the evening to see how I did.
Best,
Ted
