Sure thing on those coon hunts. Here's some running commentary on one from Jerry Clower.

 
A battered old Stanley Thermos full of steaming hot coffee...slightly burnt toast with butter and eggs...that smell of first light when the surroundings come alive.

My father use to drive Cadillacs. They were smooth and comfortable but they seemed to be in the shop almost as much as they were on the road though.

After my honorable discharge from the Bangladesh military in 1976 , I finally purchased a Cadillac in 1980 . Smooth as silk ,dchamp . Smooth as silk .
 
Joseph Rogers pock knife
Open sights
Heavy for caliber round nose softs.
Stanley flasks
Coffee on the fire after supper with a hot coal chucked in to separate the coffee from the ground
Coleman pressure lanterns
 
The smell of tobacco smoke, from a pipe.
The early morning tailgate meeting to determine who will be pushing (the young) and who will be standing (the experienced).
The late night card games.
Learning how to swear, not just what to say, but how to do it effectively.
The privilege of taking part in the tradition.

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
