We waded in fog and darkness, our headlamps reflecting off the black surface of the brackish water as silent ripples marked our slow but steady progress. The trunks of flooded hardwoods emerged from the gloom, standing like silent sentinels, rough-surfaced and moss-encrusted, like grizzled three-day beards. It was just before first light at the Skyfall Reserve, southeast of Dallas, as guide Tucker and I, along with my hunting partner Tim, made our way toward Tucker’s set of woodie decoys.

In the late spring of 1945, the rumble of Russian armor could be heard approaching Germany’s twin gun-making cities of Suhl and Zella-Mehlis in the mountains of Thuringia. Packing frantically, the owners, their families and workers from numerous firearms factories were evacuated ahead of the Soviet host to the American zone. Among the storied gun manufacturers were Anschutz, Walther, Krieghoff and J.P. Sauer & Sohn. Fast forward to the present day.

"I'm looking at the most beautiful Marlin that I've seen in quite some time. Man, what a rifle. I could sell loads of these!"I wasn’t surprised. I explained to him that Ruger’s new ownership and management of Marlin had proven extremely successful in their relaunch of the Model 1895 a couple of years ago.

The flock was late flying down from the roost. At 6:35 a.m. they were still talking to each other 300 yards away, atop their perch in the old sycamores lining the creek. I didn’t do a thing, but waited silently and patiently for them to make up their minds as to which direction they would head once they were on the ground. I cradled a new shotgun in my lap. A freshly minted Beretta A300 Turkey gun, aptly covered from butt to muzzle in Mossy Oak’s Bottomland camo.

Sako ammunition is now available in quantity from Beretta U.S.A. and their distribution network. Over the last several months I have been working with a couple of the new Powerhead Blade loads, which utilize a monolithic, lead-free copper bullet designed to both expand and penetrate on big game. Along with their rifles, Sako has been producing ammunition for most of its history.

I'm happy with the book. I've held it in my hands. Right now there exist only two copies in the world of Portraits of Queen West: Bathurst to Spadina. Michel Vrana at Black Eye Books has the other one. I wrote the previous paragraph a week ago. Now there are 28 boxes of printed books waiting to be picked up. By the time you read this Michel will have mailed out half of them. Fifteen more copies will have gone to the Spacing Store.

Morning came crisp and clear over the Glass Mountains of west Texas. Charlie Russell pastels painted the region’s rolling hills, rimrock canyons, and cedar and oak-studded draws. The whistling bugles of rutting bull elk carried on the soft breeze as I sipped my coffee and organized my gear. It seemed to me that this was going to be a good day. We were hunting a 50,000-acre spread about 25 miles east of Marathon.

I was in a race against time. As the Jeep crossed the state line into Wyoming at Cheyenne, the roiling black clouds to the north indicated the massive early-season storm was barreling down onto the high plains from the Pacific Northwest. I was running six hours late due to a flight delay getting into Denver. Night was falling and our hunt was going to start in less than 12 hours. Now it looked like the gathering storm was going to shut me down short of my destination.
