so let me get this straight.

I start a thread that Rick is going to have a shoot in October and multiple people post 18 comments on this thread not related to the topic posted.
Most of these people being the same who time and time again post the same comment that they will not go to a fall shoot at Ricks because of hunting.

I don't see why this continues to happen every time.

If you want to discuss grouse hunting start a post about grouse hunting.
If you are not going to go to Ricks shoot just say so and let that be enough.

Not every double gun guy can go to every double gun event, for a bucketload of reasons. Rick Hemingway fell into the "please everyone" trap once, but never again. See all of you in the Fall at Backwoods. Thanks for the comment, Dr. Truitt.

Yup you hit the nail on the head John. October is hunting season for most of us and that means Grouse for a lot of us. I would guess there are more dedicated bird hunters here than target shooters.

Rich,

My original post was to inform Parker members of an upcoming shoot.

I am glad you have plans/ and have your dedications/ priorities set.

But how would you feel if every time you posted something about your hunting trips I timed in and started talking about one of the tournaments I just attended.

If you don't have something constructive to contribute to the post maybe it would be the polite and correct thing to not post anything at all.

You've made your point well known. You wont be coming to Rick's shoot.

Lets move on.

I'm glad to see that Rick is having this shoot again this year, and thanks John for providing the dates. I've attended the previous two, and had a great time with some great people. This one is now on my calendar, and I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Mike
