Nice outfits.....now let's see a close up of the rifle! I am looking for a good felt rifleman's hat like that one. The capote seems to make a lot of sense.

I do hope it’s serving you as well as it did me this many years later.
I never got cold wearing it on those after Christmas PA. primitive
muzzle loading deer seasons.

Funny how our interests change over the years.

the woods during the various deer seasons.
