Hausmann's
 

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend Ernie 's in June. For me it is always the highlight of the summer. I have such a nice, relaxing time camping out and seeing my friends that I only get to see once a year, I look forward to it as much as my hunting trips.
I told the family that I could go with them any week but that one, but that's when they scheduled the family trip to Hilton Head, which has always been in September.
I don't go to the Southern anymore, it's right in prime time turkey season. I will have to try and make Mike's shoot at the Rock. It is a really good shoot, good courses. I've been there twice in the last four years.
Hope everyone has a great time, I'll be back next year.

We’ll sure miss you Harold!

You might want to give Chuck B. a heads up in case he decides to tackle the outback there knowing that your Gator is hundreds of miles away.:)

Try and make Mike's shoot. Don't forget the sunblock.

Chuckles will be fine , plenty others there to watch after him :whistle:

Randy and I both have tow straps in our trucks. :whistle:

Now that you mention it I think Randy borrowed my tow strap a few years ago. You never know when someones else will need it.

I have put the tow strap in use more than once at Ernies. It'll be in the truck :)

Safe travels to everyone headed to Hausmann's. Hopefully the weather holds for a couple days. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

We’re leaving Andover, MA in less than 2 hours.
Safe travels to everyone! We’ll see you there!

What time does shooting officially start tomorrow?

If I’m not mistaken it’s typically 9 AM .

Some begin around 8:30 ish.

Just home from another great event at Hausmann's. I thought the targets on all the courses were very fair with every course having a "man eater" finishing station to separate the winners from the also rans. The 5 stand was, per usual, very fun and challenging. Lots of Parker guys finished at or near the top of the leader boards. The Mad Jack targets seemed to be moving at mach 1 and the unbroken targets were landing about 125 yards (+-) from the thrower. Daryl and the Fox guys had their usual great events set up with targets straight from the "Men's Department". I shot at about 550 (+-) targets with my 20 gauge guns getting the lion share of work. My 30" VHE getting about 200 of those, my 32" Sterly 20 got about 100 and my new to me bucket list gun, DHE 32" 1 frame 20 getting 75.
I came home much lighter in the lead department but believe I gained at least 5 pounds from eating Jimmy Hall's incredible pecan pie for dessert for breakfast AND dinner every day. Never mind that I probably ate half of one of his amazing coconut cream pies as well. Oh, and LOTS of oysters. What a wonderful weekend with great people.

It was great to see you Dan!

You only put on 5 lb? I would say you did really well. As you know my breakfast consisted of bacon, scrambled eggs fried in bacon grease, followed by a slice of pecan pie. I'm not real smart, I had a slice of that pecan pie for breakfast this morning. Amazingly there is enough left for breakfast for the next two mornings. My wife cannot believe I am eating that for breakfast. She just does not understand. It was a good time. We will do it again! Enjoy the big 20...
