North Bound to South Dakota

[Bruce Day]

Next week the gang will be heading to SoDak for our annual Parker pheasant hunting trip. Charlie Herzog and I have 7 month old Llewellin setters that have been pointing, shot over and doing well, but we will be cautious with them. Most of the bird finding will fall to the older dogs, my old pointer, Chalie's Lab and Pete Kappes' setter and pointer. The corn is coming out of the neighboring fields and the corn is left in at our place and the birds come to it.

We have Charlie, Jim Van Blaricum and his son in law, me and my son thats here( the other is in DC working for his congressman) , Greg Dershem, Pete Kappes, Ron McDonald from Tasmania, John Dunkle, and lots of wild pheasant and prairie chicken. I can hardly wait.

We always bring a bunch of Parkers, high to low grades, various gauges, and people can try each others guns. I bring a Colt SAA and we have our lunch time shooting contests.

We have John Dunkle coming in and I will be looking and lurking for photo opportunities.

I have an article to write for the Pheasants Forever magazine about Parkers and pheasants so I will be looking for material, and where John is concerned, comical material to publish.

Here are a few from past years:

Bruce, please remember me... I have a score to settle with Mr. D.

[Bruce Day]

Dean, just tell the forum readers that you think John is right about the prohibition against selling guns on the PGCA forum and that will start heated discussions that will take months to come out of. That would fix him.

Call me when its over.

[Dean Romig]

HA! I've dipped my toes in that water before and I don't think I want to swim in it.

[ED J, MORGAN]

Bruce, Good luck and great hunting. Wish I were there! Regards, Ed

Geee whiz Bruce & Dean...

I'm reminded of an old saying I can only partially recall..?? Goes something like.. "..with friends like you who needs..."...

I can, and will, also add that I was really looking forward to this trip....

Operative word; "was"


"You'll pay for this my Pretty! Aah-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

[Bruce Day]

Yes David, it most certainly will.

Dean, yes, the situation could be dangerous, so I am going to use the 16ga to raise my hat ( I think I had better wear my old helmet liner ) above the grass to see if John shoots it off.

And don't shoot my new puppy. Long legged and gangly like a teenager.

I do hope that this server that sits about 2 feet from my desk, in my office, attached to my home, over my garage - stays "on-line" while I am away? And if it does go "off-line" doesn't drop a few users and threads/posts when it comes back on-line? Being in South Dakota, I would have a difficult time resetting it from thousands of miles away.......

Just sayin'......
