[AT] Tractor looking

[CEE VILL]

Hi Cecil,

I am pleased to read that talking about great food like freshly dug red 
potatos is wetting your appetite.  No better sign of the return to good 
health than that.

If you pick up on my reply to Dudley, you will be familiar with most of the 
places mentioned.  I also tried some turkey hunting in the mid 1960's.  
Living in Caldonia NY at that time, I went farther West to the
Wellsville - Allentown area.   I guess since you have the nice beards to 
save, I should have gone to Addison too.  Those dumb birds were much too 
smart for me (yeh! I know that makes me dumber than a dumb bird).  Never did 
get one.  I do not stay in one place for long, and that doesn't help. I Have 
to get up and move around.

I have not taken a woodchuck in 15 or 20 years.  Never enough time for those 
pastimes.  On top of that I do not go on land unless I have an ok from the 
owner so I did not take a rifle yesterday.  The Browning Baby was tucked 
away in my clothing as usual.  Never know when one might encounter a crazed 
beast of some type.

I am working on a  30-06 that I got new last year.  With 125 gr. it doesn't 
group as good as I want it to.  Not sure if the problem is the fast bullet 
ot the jerky shooter.  It may be the latter. I have nerves of tinfoil.  At 
any rate, I am thinking perhaps it will work to scare a few chucks from 
hayfields this summer.

If NYC takes over the entire Eastern end of the state, there is still lots 
of room for you West of Syracuse.  (grin)

Have a great day,

Charlie V.
