Headed back out again today, this time in a supporting role only. Finished cutting up half of a muley doe Monday and had yesterday to R&R, but today it's back into the truck and yet another trip up & over the mountains to Colorado's NW corner. Cow elk is again the prey and my 72-year old neighbor has the tag (Our combined families had Thanksgiving dinner last week so we could do this).
I swear, I'm looking forward to sitting by the fire for a while when this is all done...it's been quite a year. I'm starting to understand the appeal of the "snowbird" lifestyle (this is becoming almost like work).
On another note, a highschool buddy sent me a picture of a somewhat-rugged old double he found in his domicile the other day (it's history is a bit mysterious too as he doesn't know where it came from...long story), a Delphian Arms Company (stamped on it's rudimentary sidelock) SXS in 12-bore. Fluid steel barrels, POW stock, and w/an A&D splinter forend. This is a new one to me, but it looks pre-WW1 hardware store and fairly cheap (Crescent-made?).
The pictures he sent me were fairly poor so I'll spare you. Anybody here have a clue as to what he's got?
