I'm in Grant county. We've got a very nice range in the county, and I've started building my own on a few acres I got from a friend of mine. If you're gonna be in the area, holler......

Originally Posted by TheJoker | Shelby County...Home of Balser Brent and the Bears of Blue River. Nary a boy grew up in this county that hadn't sat upon their Momma's or Pappa's knee and had this story read to them:
"AWAY back in the "twenties," when Indiana was a baby state, and great forests of tall trees and tangled underbrush darkened what are now her bright plains and sunny hills, there stood upon the east bank of Big Blue River, a mile or two north of the point where that stream crosses the Michigan road, a cozy log cabin of two rooms—one front and one back.
"The house faced the west and stretching off toward the river for a distance equal to twice the width of an ordinary street, was a blue-grass lawn, upon which stood a dozen or more elm and sycamore trees, with a few honey-locusts scattered here and there. Immediately at the water's edge was a steep slope of ten or twelve feet. Back of the house, mile upon mile, stretched the deep dark forest, inhabited by deer and bears, wolves and wildcats, squirrels and birds, without number.
"In the river the fish were so numerous that they seemed to entreat the boys to catch them, and to take them out of their crowded quarters. There were bass and black suckers, sunfish and catfish, to say nothing of the sweetest of all, the big mouthed redeye.
"South of the house stood a log barn, with room in it for three horses and two cows; and enclosing this barn together with a piece of ground, five or six acres in extent, was a palisade fence, eight or ten feet high, made by driving plies into the ground close together. In this enclosure the farmer kept his stock, consisting of a few sheep and cattle, and here also the chickens, geese, and ducks were driven at nightfall to save them from "varmints," as all prowling animals were called by the settlers.
"The man who had built this log hut, and who lived in it and owned the adjoining land at the time of which I write, bore the nanie of Balser Brent. "Balser" is probably a corruption of Baltzer, but, however that may be, Balser was his name, and Balser was also the name of his boy, who was the hero of the bear stories which I am about to tell you."

Howdy mhanna91...^+1 on the permit. It has been great for me. I have had a permit since the early '80's and they were worse than drivers license as far as remembering when to renew. Always had to rush to the court house every 4 yrs and then have to get the finger print ink off. Don't have to worry about that with the lifetime, hope I never will again. But I am afraid they will most likely go the way of the lifetime hunting and fishing(which in one my smarter moments I bought years ago). The anti-gunners have been trying to undermine the lifetime carry permit (and the 4 yr) from the beginning. Now they have support from a not so gun friendly administration. So, yep!! Get'em while your able....
