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....:bigbye:

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!:rolleyes:

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!!!
David

HaHa! That's great David, hopefully she and Lizard will become best of friends!:)
Are you heading down on Thursday this year?

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

I am fortunate enough to live 20 min. from Backwoods. I saw Rick on Mon and he is opening the event on noon on Thursday but will have stations open to shoot all week. I thing the "California Crowd" will be here Wed. evening. I will join them and Dan on Thursday morning. John, since your daughter is now part of the Parker group you are invited to the Friday "Parker Celebration" at Backwoods. I will guarantee a good time:good food, beverages, a great Bluegrass band and most importantly, good company.
David

David,
I'd forgotten that you were that close to Backwoods! Must be nice!
Thanks for the invite to the gathering, and we're looking forward to attending. I'll cover my license plate!

It does sound like a great time just as the Southern and Hausmanns are but you just can't do them all. Seeing as I'm still chained (for another year) to a job even though its flexible PGCA member Jack Cronkite is coming from Saskatchewan to the U.P. to hunt Grouse I can't be gone that long. In addition this shoot would entail a two day drive:cuss:

You boys break those clay birds and Jack and I will down some Grouse:rotf:

John, Just don't remove the bumper sticker!!!

Vandalism I Tell Ya! Just Plain Vandalism!
