One of my all time favorite things to do using my 10 ga. sxs , was hunt grey squirrels in a stand of old original mixed hardwood and hemlock trees. The sport of it was , to wait until two squirrels were in range, and shoot a double each opportunity. Actually pulled it off a couple times.
Couple of days ago , I walked about 200 yards through a yard , another 100 yards ,and up into a ladder stand . Sat from 2 PM until 5 PM. Saw a nice shooter buck at 5 PM , but it was too dark to try a shot. Just then my 82 yr. old hunting buddy sitting in another stand 100 ft. away , shot a small buck for the meat. The adventure was not the point. At 75 , it took me two days to recover , with a bunch of pills and hot food , w/ good hot coffee. Was very happy my old hunting buddy of 50 + years , got a buck. He was skunked for the last years, he was glad , too..................oldwood
