That list you have there may have saved me a trip to the haberdasher, in Baudette, for briefs, last trip, Lloyd.
Then again, I forgot my blaze orange vest at the cabin, so, you never know.
I usually just bring one gun along. Reasons.
Best,
Ted
OT But I love when you and Lloyd mention towns and places I feel like, in the larger world, they are known only to me. Always makes me laugh and think about the time spent in that area.
Only those who make the pilgrimage get to meet Willie:

The gun I have killed the most birds with in my life is a Remington model 17 with a 21” barrel and Stan Baker chokes. I haven’t used it in years, but, even with the dreaded pistol grip, it was hell on grouse and pheasants mid 1970s until I got my first double, a 20 gauge Darne R15 with a straight stock.
I got a lot of birds with the Darne, too.
Best,
Ted
