This is what's inside!

There are a lot of folk's outside Michigan Who dont know who Cotton is,but those of us here in Mich do! He was one of those guy's you INSTANTLYY felt a connection with,on a deep muzzleloading level. And to see him late in his life was kinda heartbreaking. He is sorely missed. May God hold and keep him!

And every year I look more like the guy in my avatar. The picture was taken some time prior to 1867 so I don't know what process was used I'd love to find the original

Sorry I digress.  It's good to have something to remember your friend by.

We have a few legends around here too.  I've been looking for a Lloyd Norris
muzzleloader for a couple years.  They NEVER go for sale.
