Opening Day

 Today is the opening day for squirrel season in north-central Louisiana.  It's almost a holiday and everyone who wants to tramp through the woods are chasing those bushy-tailed tree rats.  Grandson Lucas went out today and got his first squirrel.  This a momentous occasion.

To make the say even cooler, he used a shotgun that has been in the family a long, long, time.  

That is his great-grandfather's shotgun.  A Remington Model 11 that has taught four generations of hunters how to stalk the squirrels.  It's in 20 gauge and has been lovingly maintained in the family for many decades.

Well done, Lucas.  The old man is smiling down on you today.
