I was rearranging my closet in the Man Cave. this is what Susan calls the den. This is were i tinker gunsmith reload, read and store my gun mags and my reference books library and generally stay out of her way. I found a gun case I did not remember i opened it and I remembered leaving GA after I sold all my Guns except a RMEF ultra in 35Whelen I kept it for hunting. My Malamute was very sick and the vets there could not do much so I move to my sisters in Va , there was a vet close in Md that could help She Was well worth it we wnet every where together, she love to rabbit hunt was not gun shy and learned to track while I helped train a friends Bloodhounds. My sister did not want my rifle in the house not that she's anti just inquisative childer who might not wait for me to be home to get it out. I told a guy where I worked my delemia he said go see Dick in parts. I did . I told him my sad tale he said he would keep it for me.when I took the rilfe over to his place, he asked if I had a shotgun I said no. He rumaged in a stak of guns he had in a corner. He said since you shoot a Whelen you will probily like this ok . its' yours and handed me a H&R topper 48 in 16Ga. We hit it off big we shot, reloaded, prowled the gunshops My dog passed 5 years ago Susan says i will still reach down to pant her when I watch tv.
