Rich, I think Hemmingway searched long and hard to find a date that did not conflict with another shoot or most hunting seasons . I know one of the dates he considered conflicted with your "fly swatting season" so he chose another.
I guess you can not please all the people all the time and being you are one of those hard to please guys....

Really looking forward to seeing all the changes Rick made for the US Open. His venue was already my favorite, and I understand it's even better now! Gonna be a great time! Lizard and I will be glad to see all that can make it.
Hope Team Parker has a good turn-out, as I know of at least one rental house on Pawleys Island that will be harboring 16 Elsie enthusiasts. Hate for Team Parker to be out-gunned again!

I heard a "rummer" that a certain beautiful, straight shooting ,young lady will be shooting for Parker? It is not quantity but quality that counts ! Bring em on!!!

Julia and I are available to help out with the festivities. Julia wants to help staff the table for a little while too.

Grouse opened up here Aug 10 but I generally don't hunt them before Sept 1; just seems too early and they're still too dumb. We kicked some up along a river last weekend and they just flew up into small trees like spruce grouse and sat there looking down at the dog and us. It's snowing in Barrow, there's frost warnings around Fairbanks today and tire chains were recommended for a pass on a road north of town two days ago. Summer is closing down fast. It's 41 deg here right now....

Richard,
When it hits 41 degrees here we consider Summer long gone!

By then Interrior Alaska is well into the grips of winter as their daylight grows dimmer and dimmer.


Makes me shudder and shiver just to think about it. *teeth chattering*

18 Days and counting!!!! I saw Rick Hemmingway yesterday and he told me he was going to provide PGCA with our own tent, just like last year. I believe last year we had six tables, two for PGCA and the rest for members. If you want a table please let me know-first come.... There is no charge for a table as Rick is providing it free, The same for Friday evenings "Parker Celebration"
food, drink , music, free. The event opens for shooting noon on Thursday.
It has cooled down a bit here-mid 80's so if no storm this year it will be fantastic.

C O B-we will miss you!
