It's been a while since I heard about the Savage 24. I had one back around 1968. It was 222/20ga that I got for turkey. Problem was you couldn't hit the broad side of the barn with it. It just shot everywhere so I pawned it for something else. Although it was a nice handling gun.

Great job! Enjoyed your post with my morning coffee, great way to start the day. I enjoyed the pictures of the river but especially liked the picture of the white pine. Very few things survive that long.

The past few weeks was a sad time when the local historic courthouse Elm tree in Wellsboro Pa had to be removed after 300 years. The tree is believed to have been a mature young tree before the Revolution war. The tree was a fixture for generations of residents and visitors. Arborists found...

Great trip report Alan. Great pictures! Good to see you getting out again. What a great addition to your trip seeing all the wildlife. Seeing a bear is a great bonus.

Outstanding!

Good looking bear. This must be the year of the bear. Our family has been seeing them almost every week all year. Several trophy size. Got this one on trail cam.

Very well done.
