"Only accurate rifles are interesting"
By Col. Townsend Whelan
Well, I've been at it again! I've done some buyin' and sellin'!
I've settled on the Ruger 77/22 VMBZ .22WMR it has a 24" dark stainless barrel
and a brown laminated stock a Tasco 6 X 24 scope!
This crow was taken at approximately 100 yards with a heavy wind!
Notice the feathers on the birds breast the wind was so strong
I had to lay the rifle on the wing to get the pic!
I haven't had a chance to really work it out but it's plenty accurate for a hunting rifle!
_______________________________________________________________
"Uh Oh Chuck's got a new weapon in his squack huntin' arsenal!"
My newest addition to the family I call her "Lil' Darlin"
I made her a little holster and I've got a belt ordered.
The Single Six was born in 1953 and so was I!
This fixed sight model is "The 50th Anniversary" model!
This is my first try at groups with her .22 WMR at 20 yards.
Not great but very acceptable! From a fix sight short 4 5/8" barrel!
The groups all hit about 3" low soon I'll file the front sights
down to put her in the center of the spot with a six o'clock hold!
Here's how she shoots after I filed down the front sight!
This little fellow will testify to the accuracy of my "Lil Darlin"
Ok, Ok before you go gettin' all sappy on me although they are cute little fellers!
Chipmunks can be a nuisance especially if you have an all wood house like my buddy does.
Between the woodpeckers and the small mouse like critters his house is in danger
so we thin them out! We won't kill em all trust me the woods are full of them!
Here's one of the little bandits at work hoggin' all the corn.
"Yes Sir, that's what we're afraid of
that she'll shoot minute of squirrel"!
Sometimes you get the Squack sometimes the Squack gets you!
I don't hunt squacks very often but I do like to take one every now and again!
I took delivery of my new pistol belt today!!
Man alive did Darryl "The Leather Crafter" do a good job!
To say that I'm pleased is the biggest of understatements!
I made the holster some time ago but he matched it up perfectly.
The belt is lined and hand-carved it shows supreme craftsmanship!
The significance of the 7s is my birthday it's 07/07 and so
is my wedding anniversary this year they both fall on 777!
777 is God's perfect number and the number of Gods completion!
Here's a link to Darryl's site!

Terry landed a huge crappie 16" long!
Terry also won the award for smallest fish landed!
__________________________________________________________________
Normally we practice catch and release, but we had an
agenda this day we transplanted 12 fish, large and small
to a pond that really needed em. Actually we caught them
out of a pond that I had stocked some 20 years ago with bass.
Sherry, my lovely wife with a nice bass. Nice sunset. Huh!
Your's truly with another good sized bass.
Here I am back in the stone age with a very good bass.

This old gal must have had a nest near the house.
My 2007 Gobbler the biggest bird I've ever taken weighed in at 22 pounds!
Patterned this fellow saw him scoutin' Sunday mornin', saw
him huntin' Monday, ambushed him Tuesday in his strutt zone!
Took him at 42 yards exactly (laser ranged after the shot) with a load
of number 4 Hevi-Shot using "The Undertaker" choke for the first time!
My 2006 Gobbler weighed 19 lbs.
Austin Miller My Huntin' Buddy and Some or His Turkeys!

It's a rough way to go at 'Deer Camp' but we manage!
This is where we stayed 2007 Turkey season also!

Here's a few deer for ya to look at.
Shot this one with my flintlock .50 cal longrifle.

An 8 pointer which scored 132 4/8 net B&C points.
Here's what he looks like on my living room wall!
____________________________________________
Sherry took her first deer in 06!
I spotted it in it's bed and Sherry
made a perfect shot at 145 yards!
We were able to retrieve the bullet from her ham. She was facing us and the bullet
took out her heart, lung, liver passed through the paunch and lodged in the opposite ham!
The Sierra 165 grain BT weighed 130.5 grains upon retrieval.
The Fine folks at Sierra saw where I posted
a story and pics of the bullet on the net!
They got in touch with me and sent us 2 Blaze Orange caps.
____________________________________________
My go to rifle when I'm serious about bringing home some groceries
is my .308 she doesn't have a special name we all just call her,
"The .308"
She wears a Douglas barrel and a Leupold Vari-X III 4.5 X 14 mil-dot scope!
And last but not least she puts em where the crosshairs are, period!
But most of the time this is what we see!
Did you see the deer in the background.
Here's some other stuff in my living room.
My son Jeremy took this coon and buck.
This is my first buck I considered worth mounting!

I can still smell that old musty canvas cover. Notice what's on Jeremy's side!
From l to r Terry Copen, Chuck Goodall, and Mark Fitzwater.
Ruff was just 7 months old but he jumped 5 of these 7

Logan's Revenge
Talgayeeta, better known as Chief Logan of the Mingo whose capacity
for fairness and honorable conduct was well documented, was an advocate
of peace. After his father Shickellamy's death, Logan became one of the ten
leading Sachems or council chiefs of the Cayuga (Seneca) branch. Logan
eventually left the Cayugas to become chief of the Mingos where he lived with
his family at the mouth of Yellow Creek, near present day Stubenville, OH.
"Who is there to mourn for Logan?...Not one!" were the final words of
Logan's Lament, his famous speech given to Lord Dunmore which summed up
the feelings of anger and frustration over the brutal murders of his family by
a party of disreputable frontiersmen. Upon discovery of his family's bodies,
Logan swore revenge and within a short time, began reprisals on the scattered
white settlers in the Ohio valley. The moving and emotional speech is below:
______________________________________________________________
When the conference was being held between the Governor of Virginia and the
chiefs of the tribes, it was discovered that Logan, chief of the Mingoes, and the
real cause of the war, was not present. Of course, it was necessary that he should
be there, and a white man was sent to bring him. He found Logan in a thicket seated
on a log. The tears rolled down his cheeks and he wept like a child. His thoughts
went back to the time when he was the "white man's friend," to the murder of his
relatives, and in his broken English burst out in one of the most beautiful speeches
ever uttered"
_____________________________________
Logan's Speech
"I appeal to any white man to say if ever he entered Logan's cabin hungry and he
gave him not meat; if ever he came cold and naked and he clothed him not. During the
course of the last long and bloody war, Logan remained idle in his cabin, an advocate
of peace. Such was my love for the whites that my countrymen pointed at me as they
passed and said, "Logan is the friend of white men." I had even thought to have lived
with you, but for the injuries of one man, who the last spring in cold blood and
unprovoked, murdered all the relatives of Logan, not even sparing my women and children.
There runs not a drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature. This called on me
for revenge. I have sought it, I have killed many. I have fully glutted my vengeance.
For my country I rejoice at the beams of peace. But do not harbor a thought that mine
is the joy of fear. Logan never felt fear. He will not turn on his heel to save his life.
Who is there to mourn for Logan? Not one."

passed and said, "Logan is the friend of white men." I had even thought to have lived
with you, but for the injuries of one man, who the last spring in cold blood and
unprovoked, murdered all the relatives of Logan, not even sparing my women and children.
There runs not a drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature. This called on me
for revenge. I have sought it, I have killed many. I have fully glutted my vengeance.
For my country I rejoice at the beams of peace. But do not harbor a thought that mine
is the joy of fear. Logan never felt fear. He will not turn on his heel to save his life.
Who is there to mourn for Logan? Not one."

Bowfishing? Anyone?
Here's a huge gar over 50" long I took with my recurve.
For reference that arrow is 32" long and only
penetrated about an inch through his tough hide.
My right hand is touching the steel tip.
I was able to release him basically unharmed.
My whole family bowhunts!
Even some of my ancestors.
Here's Sherry with her 1st rabbit ever!
Jeremy at 16 with his 1st archery rabbit.
Here's some of my equipment. I make my own wood arrows.
The longbow is mine I gave the recurve to Sherry.
I took some of these photos to go with an article I had published.
Yes, I used to shoot a wheel bow back in the day.
I switched back to "Traditional Bows" about 1993.
One of several "Robin Hoods" I shot with my old round wheel Darton!
I took 47 deer with that old bow.
I've taken 17 deer with the longbow.
And 4 with my Bear recurve.

Logan's Revenge
Talgayeeta, better known as Chief Logan of the Mingo whose capacity
for fairness and honorable conduct was well documented, was an advocate
of peace. After his father Shickellamy's death, Logan became one of the ten
leading Sachems or council chiefs of the Cayuga (Seneca) branch. Logan
eventually left the Cayugas to become chief of the Mingos where he lived with
his family at the mouth of Yellow Creek, near present day Stubenville, OH.
"Who is there to mourn for Logan?...Not one!" were the final words of
Logan's Lament, his famous speech given to Lord Dunmore which summed up
the feelings of anger and frustration over the brutal murders of his family by
a party of disreputable frontiersmen. Upon discovery of his family's bodies,
Logan swore revenge and within a short time, began reprisals on the scattered
white settlers in the Ohio valley. The moving and emotional speech is below:
______________________________________________________________
When the conference was being held between the Governor of Virginia and the
chiefs of the tribes, it was discovered that Logan, chief of the Mingoes, and the
real cause of the war, was not present. Of course, it was necessary that he should
be there, and a white man was sent to bring him. He found Logan in a thicket seated
on a log. The tears rolled down his cheeks and he wept like a child. His thoughts
went back to the time when he was the "white man's friend," to the murder of his
relatives, and in his broken English burst out in one of the most beautiful speeches
ever uttered"

Logan's Speech
"I appeal to any white man to say if ever he entered Logan's cabin hungry and he
gave him not meat; if ever he came cold and naked and he clothed him not. During the
course of the last long and bloody war, Logan remained idle in his cabin, an advocate
of peace. Such was my love for the whites that my countrymen pointed at me as they
passed and said, "Logan is the friend of white men." I had even thought to have lived

unprovoked, murdered all the relatives of Logan, not even sparing my women and children.
