Title: Remember when
Post by: No Powder on October 31, 2023, 09:05:15 AM: Hey Bigsmoke, 14 years ago you posed a question about an inscription on your friends powder horn.
(A Meso Burn ) Now I know that's a long time ago, and I can't remember what I had for breakfast today. Did you ever get a clarification on what that phrase meant?

Honestly, I am not sure what I was even asking about, but no, I don't recall ever getting an answer. But that is not positive either. Ain't getting older fun???

"a meso burn" might be Gaelic for something akin to "a mid, or small, stream". Was the horn decorated with a forest with a creek running through it? Just guesses, but maybe this is a lead.

No, I expect there's not, but that's not all that bad. I'd rather see the youngsters out doing (taking part in this pastime / or something constructive), over hanging out on a computer talking about it. That's what really promotes this pastime, IMHO...

Post by: No Powder on December 28, 2023, 02:43:48 PM: You're absolutely right about that Joe. I never thought about it like that. I would rather had a young buck with me hunting with his smokepole today, instead of reading about hunting with one on the computer.
