[QUOTE="VarmintGuy, post: 482192, member: 10334"] Tulku: I am so glad you have regained the ability to walk better. Thats great news. I can remember the first satelite photo I was shown of an Indian Reservation that I used to bribe my way onto many years ago. The Chief that showed me the photo let me take notes and make drawings of it for an hour or so - the Prairie Dog Towns were EASILY distinguished in the aerial photo - they show up white against the surrounding tan and green forests and grasslands. I used my notes to walk my way onto many Virgin Dog Towns from secondary roads. It is a whole nother ball game shooting on a Virgin Town than the places where Hunters get to so often! Now that would be a hoot - getting "air-lifted" to a Dog Town! I wonder how many Rifles you can get in a helicopter? I was on the Tongue River in SE Montana many years ago and I had "humped" myself, a day pack full of ammo and water , a shooting mat and TWO heavy Remington 40X Rifles about 2 miles from a line shack at the end of a road. I followed a dry creek wash (as per ranch hands instructions) down to a Virgin Town! It was simply Varmint Hunters Heaven once I got there! I was a bit ashamed of myself for running 100 rounds each through those two superb Rifles without cleaning them - normally I stop at 40 or 50 rounds per Rifle. The shooting was SO good I simply could not stop when I knew the barrels were dirty. I did though, give them plenty of time to "cool" their barrels between shots, as I searched out only the tallest and plumpest of Prairie Dogs to spend my precious bullets on. On my way back I was coming up over the lip of the dry wash and at eye level in front of me in the cleaned out ring of an ant hill was the MOST beautiful arrowhead I had found in decades! I literally dropped those two 40X's in the grass as I lept onto that arrowhead - like there could have been someone beat me to it! I have that arrowhead on display in my den to this day. What a grand day that was. In fact I made that trip several more times in the next several years until - alas - I made the trip one more time several years ago - again on foot - and the dreaded plague had wiped the whole town out! Not a single survivor was to be seen. Sad day that. I have not recently been back to that town to check and see if they have re-established themselves there yet. Again great news on your improving capabilities. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy [/QUOTE]
