I have never read such truer words. I live in a town where pretty much everyone has a newer truck, boats, campers, and side by sides. Funny thing they never leave the yards as they are working non stop to keep up with the payments.

I have said for years that the book "The Old Man and the Boy" should be required reading for all kids. It is rife with common sense and wisdom.

I totally agree, and have said the same thing many times. Charlie

There's a lot of wisdom there for sure. I'm gonna have to find a copy of that book.

I have used a quote from that book a few times on new hunters joining me for the first time. it seems to make an impression:
" What you got in your hands is a dangerous weapon. It can kill you, or kill me, or kill a dog. You always got to remember that when a gun is loaded it makes a potential killer out of the man that's handling it. Don't you ever forget it!"
Eh...wot?
