Guyette & Deeter Auction - Who's coming??

[GunnerGrilli]

I thought it was a fantastic event, and the Guyette and Deeter team, coupled with our own Mr. Josh Lowensteiner did a very professional job with their inaugural event. I will be back. St. Michaels was a wonderful place to host the event and I hope it stays there.

Special thanks to our Parker Forum Members that I was able to meet, most for the first time at the auction. It was very nice to meet all of you, and I look forward to future trips and some shooting!!!!

Thank you all again for a great time.

It sounds like a nice place to visit, and I wish I could go some day. It's just so far that by the time I pay for the dog care and travel, I could meet the BP cost for a nice gun. Still, I'd like to see their facility and enjoy some of the things folks have noted in the area (especially the seafood!!)...not to mention meet some folks that I've come to know only through the Forum.

I watched the auction on the live stream. It was fun watching the bids change in real time. I did mark down all the sold prices in the catalog just for grins. I must say it was definitely more exciting than any NFL, NBA or college hoops. It is especially cool knowing who bought what. That adds a major "cool factor" to the auction.

Mike, did you have a list of the bidder numbers? By the way, we saw what we think is Destry's old Churchill 8 gauge. Sixteen thousand some odd dollars.

No Bill, only took down the prices the items fetched.

I learned about the food on the Eastern Shore forty years ago . I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Talbot County which is where St Michael’s is playing with steam engines of all things and I’ve spent an even larger amount of time in Dorchester County just south of Talbot for the Sika hunting experience . And I ALWAYS found great food be it the Tidewater Inn in Easton or some little General’s Store in Woolford and plenty others in between .

I looked and looked in all the fields you pass to see one of the Sika deer with no luck. According to everybody I talked to is that you have to go alittle farther into Dorchester county like you have mentioned. From pictures that I have seen they look like minature Elk and taste better than whitetails.

The Guyette and Deeter auction team, and Josh Lowensteiner and his colleagues, collaborated to put on a superb two-day event. The hospitality, locations, and management of the auction were all first-rate. Talbot County, MD and the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum should be proud to have this celebration of Americana and sporting arms centered in Easton and St. Michaels. There were many new plateaus reached with prices this weekend. We Parker, Ithaca, A.H. Fox, Winchester, etc. owners should sleep well knowing that our valuations have entered new territory. (Here's wondering who the online bidders were that had their foot to the floorboard on some of the bids? Perhaps we'll see those items come back around one day.) In any event, here's looking forward to September 2023 and that the auction team can assemble another world-class line up. Keep it up Guyette and Deeter, and Josh. It was a most pleasurable February event along the frigid Miles River. Thank you for the food, drinks, expertise and displays. And, PGCA members, put the September date on your travel calendars. You can still read the menu if you're on a diet.

Yes sir ! Some are killed in Talbot each year but the majority are killed in Dorchester . I’ve taken nine sika’s in my entire hunting life of which two were six points which is what considered decent/good . I’d like to still be hunting them but now at 60+ that marsh in the dark alone isn’t the best thing for me to be doing . Always wanted 40-60 acres in southern Dorchester for hunting but it never happened . Only two Sika 6’s I killed one on state land the other on the Blackwater . Incidentally they are more closely related to elk than Whitetail’s , also me they taste a good bit like elk maybe just a hint sweeter in flavor .

I also enjoyed taking in the inaugural firearms auction put on by the Guyette & Deeter team, Josh, and Wes Dillon. I thought it was done very professionally and I’m hoping to be back for their September auction.

I enjoyed meeting Parker members Keavin Nelson, Bobby Grilli, John Bastiani, Jerry ??, and of course, Randy Roberts. I was hoping to see other friends there also, but I’m not sure where they might have sat, almost all the seats were filled.
It is a beautiful area for sure, I should have taken more photos, this photo is from the outside deck of the building where tha auction was held, The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
