jack, there is old country, and there is new country. You seemed to be locked into new country. I'd say the new country is no prize these days, I've had my problems with it's boyz.
Farm sold, now living on small plots, but still have a taste for the sporting life - they now trespass.
Old country, Sterlingworth country was a different place, and time. My return to hunting was on such a Mr. Green-jeans family farm. Just like Currier&Ives, but more rustic so to speak.
Your are mixing-up old country doubles with the new country's RBLs. Just take a drive in the fall, and see the people getting their Currier&Ives fix!
