A fine day on the mountain

[PathfinderNC]

That sounds like a great hunt.
Nice looking rifle. I'm curious; what length is the barrel? My own is 42", but yours looks longer.

It's a Green Mountain 44" long

Nice story and pictures. It's great to be out in the woods this time of year. I missed deer season this year due to shoulder surgery, but hopefully back next year.

Great hunt, great story, very nice rifle It is nice to see some old Treebark camo * it works so well in some situations. Keep up the good work!

A ‘Walk in the Woods’ brought a smile to my face and kindled lots of memories of similarly idyllic days afield in the Fall. Time to take my old Belgian SXS double out to chase some grouse in the deep fir forests of the NW while the larches and alders still have their color. Thanks for sharing your day with us!

Congratulations on a fine day, fine deer, and fine rifle. Next time I want to see a beautiful horn dangling somewhere with the rifle, lol.

Thanks buddy- when I am tree-stand hunting I just use a belt pouch with three pre- measured powder tubes, round ball and patches, short starter, a turn screw, an extra flint and a small pan primer. It’s less bulk and fuss.

Sorry I'm late but wow, what a fantastic story of a grand day .
Good on ya buddy. You live in a beautiful place

Now, now - you’re not allowed to be practical. Bulk and fuss is what 18th century shooting is all about.
Our motto is “why do it the easy way when the hard way is an option?”

Thank you Pathfinder!

Even a bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
