Right there with you, brother.

Some of mine that I'll call "having useless value". An 1800s 40 caliber muzzleloading rifle in terrible condition, and a Martini action.

For me it's a small poplar tree that was at the cover where I saw my first grouse. I took it years ago and put it behind the small couch in my gun room. Sitting in the room often reminds me why I'm "out there".

Geo.
Many thanks. It's where I go after cleaning birds/showering to clean the gun as well as a couple "fingers" of Famous Grouse. It also comes in handy when the sister-in-law and other in-laws come to haunt! Simply close the door, light the pipe and pour the the drink over ice!
Best wishes for the coming season,
Karl
