Milt and his lovely bride, and me and my family ended up at the same lodge in Argentina September of 2015. Milt and I bored everyone at the lodge into a stupor with our incessant discussion about double shotguns. The fact we both enjoyed Wine, Whiskey and good cigars cemented our conviviality!

Here are a couple photos. One is me receiving my 2,500 birds in one day shirt!

Now that's another " It's a small world" thing is'nt it? You are a better man than I Mark as I love to pull the trigger but 2500 birds in one day is a bit much for me.

I guess you could say "2500 birds and all I get is this stinking T-shirt"?
Nice shooting.

EXACTLY!!

At right about 40 cents every time the gun goes bang, they can afford a few ballcaps and t-shirts....I actually shot about 2900 that day, but cramping in my left bicep stopped me there. A good friend and shooting buddy shot 3225 a month or so before, and I had my eye on that number, but i just couldnt raise the gun another time that day. That was my last full day, the last morning I switched to an O/U 28 bore, and shot 261/300 mostly one handed!

OUCH! I'm all happy when I kill 15 dove in an hour or so so I can imagine what you arm(s) felt like after that marathon event.
