George- it is in the January/February 1990 issue of Game Country-- subtitled "The Journal of Big Game Hunting"- may be no loner published. If you don't have that issue, or access to a copy, PM me and I will send you my copy on open ended loan. Great story, one of the best. I know nothing about Charles Nicholson, except that he wrote one heck of a great short story. Boss Bishop and his "Teddy Roosevelt pinch mes" eyeglasses, sippin' Early Times, a hunting cam named "Pineapple Bend"--roadside dawgs with red chili peppers, etc. He also wrote some great "words of wisdom" advice on the last page of that issue entitled "Important Stuff" two of which I'll quote as being apropos to the thread and theme of the DoubleGunWorkShoppe herein- (1) "Hunting birds with anything but a good double is like shooting pool with a broom handle" and (2) "Any gun with two barrels should have two triggers too"-- I'll drink to both of those "pearls"--
Another great "hard luck somewhat" hunting story I treasure is Jack Curtis' "The Prairie Queen" it appeared in the Fall 1977 issue of the old Gray's- and Ed liked it so much he featured it in his "best of GSJ" anthology- great read--Yankton. SD- late 1960's old time farmland. Yankton was the site of a major POW camp during WW2- many captured german soldiers were kept there, and assigned to road and ditching work--
Anyway, Sir- you advise and if you need it, I'll send it your way- I am 100% sure you will enjoy it- I have re and re-read it more times than I can count.
