yah you guys have really pretty land to its just too bad you got so many people. my state is about the same size as your country and we only have a tenth of the people and 75% of them are in vegas.
as for the gold no I have yet to find any worthwile deposits of placer gold but "its out there!"
a rock chuck is the same thing as a wood chuck, or a marmot, we just call them rock chucks cuz they live in the rocks
no my rifle was not a yellow boy, its a Winchester model 1894 the rifle that won the west! (mine was made sometime in the 60's) the yellow boy or "golden boy" was made by Henry and was real popular before the model 94 was invented. they say the Indians where particularly fond of the golden boy because of its opulent color. and my friends gun is a marlin (the modern day replica of the 94)
i can pretty much go 10 to twenty minutes from my home in any direction and not hardly see another person, and shoot, and have a good time
like I said if anybody ever gets over here I would love to take em around
they got flights from England to Vegas right
