Nice seeing you again John!

It was really great to chat with my old friend Randy Havel and his son Jerry at the booth.

Randy has known me since I was a pimple faced High School kid working the gun counter at the old Burger Brothers on 44th & France in Edina, MN.

I work in the field of hunter recruitment and retention and one thing that every bit of research that has been done on the topic points out is that, social support is critical factor in a person becoming a hunter and staying a hunter.

Folks like Randy, Jerry , John and others who I'm connected to are the thread that binds the fabric of my hunting heritage together.

Groups like the PGCA add to the strength of that thread.

Thanks!

Jay welcome to the PGCA. Thats some nice looking cover there, reminds me of the Upper Pennisula of Mich.

Jay,
Great looking gun and setter. I sometimes carry my VH 20 grouse hunting and have 2 setters. Looks like you are a good fit for this bunch---by the way did they tell you that as part of your initiation into the PGCA you must post the GPS coordinates of that cover.
