Rich;

there were several good ones - but I liked the rather rustic one of the hunters leaving the buggy in the road to get the dogs on a covey while the farmer can't get by on the bridge. - and I looked real hard at the small Osthaus of the setter with the grouse in his mouth, then realized the framing was throwing me off - I have that one on the living room wall :) it's part of a 1905 set.

I also saw the exact replacement hammers I wanted, unfortunately they were attached to a rather nice gun but no one would loan me a screw driver and distract the owner while I "shopped" :whistle:

I looked at the print you described also, just no where to put it really and it was to nice to put up at the cabin.

Gentlemen & Ladies, All,

The whole weekend was a wonderful first clays and collecting outing for me and I thank you all for making a stranger feel welcome. I can't say, however, that my own shooting performance in any way matched the elegance of your skills and camaraderie!

And no, Rich, you may not butt in line ahead of my daughter for that H&H!

Allan

Hi Allan. We had a great time shooting with you. It's always good to meet and get to know a fellow Vermonter. I hope you can get to Addieville in September for all of the fun and festivities.

Best, Dean

Allan, It was great to meet and shoot with you. And to think you live around the corner from my brother. Small world ain't it...:rotf: Just remember next time we shoot together you ain't the new guy anymore.....:rolleyes: That only works once!

So Guys where are the photos.....(yes I know Dave posted a couple, big deal ! ) I want to see what I missed..:corn:

Rich, if we're gonna do a deal, hurry up. I've got that Holland here, but only for a couple more days.

You know what you missed Eric..... another great time.:crying: The pictures won't do it justice.:nono: We really missed ya but I know family trumps all.

Mark took hundreds of pictures. I'm sure he will be posting a bunch of them here.

I am still processing those photos and will soon post in a new thread.
