There is one story that landed my Grandpa in the papers. He and a friend were out duck hunting on the Arkansas River in Ozark Arkansas and while in a boat early one morning waiting on the birds to fly in, they preparing.
 
Later that morning as the ducks and geese made their decent from all directions, my grandpa pulled up to shoot and then his buddy did the same, however in this case, barrels were crossed and his friend shot and hit the side of the barrel. Now there small dent in the side of the barrel from that successful cold foggy morning in Arkansas while two men were duck hunting.
 
I can't tell you why, but that is a story that I heard from my step-dad and aunt made the local news. They both have explained to me, that this story was shar3ed in the Ozark Spectator. I guess they possibly have a hunting or sports column where stories are shared with others in the community, but that was a different era in time. Some of you guys remember the big steel American classics that used to be on the road and being able to leave your keys in the car, back when you didn't have to worry about laying in bed recalling whether you locked your front door or not...a simpler time.
 
When Ted started the new contest, this is exactly what I wanted to use as my subject. I toyed with another idea, but I felt that reflecting on times past made a much better subject matter.
 
I hope you guys like it as much as I enjoyed it.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

It's not much of a picture, but the grenadier that was loading his magazines had to go to mail call, but will be right back.
