Funny what people remember. 58 years ago, but I still remember that cat's name was Smash. He started out as Smudge, but he had the zoomies one day and Mom tried to shout "Smudge don't crash!" But all that came out was "Smash!" And that was that.

Best grip n' grin pic of the year goes to the dude killing giant rams with a .22 in golf socks and the awesome lady getting pics in the living room with all the kids.

Thank you. I agree on both counts. Mom turns 85 tomorrow and is doing very well. She outlived all three husbsnds. She volunteers at the Alzheimer's center and also "takes care of an elderly lady" about 20 hours a week.

She says I look a lot like my dad.

Dang that’s awesome thanks for sharing this, maybe one day that will be a unit again but it’s crazy he was able to get the whole ram out of there at to his house. I guide for sheep in California so it’s cool to see these old photos

He bulldogged it down the mountain from what he said. Solo hunt. I'll never know all the details, as he is long gone now. But I love the legacy of loving to hunt that he left us kids.

I’d probably drug it right into the house also. Great old picture

Be cool if that unit opened up and you applied and drew it and could hunt it .
