Default Fall SxS Backwoods Quail Club

The weather was picture perfect---cool mornings and warm afternoons with low himidity. I counted 102 cars in the parking lot at 1 pm on Saturday. Bill Kempffer reported 30 vendors in the two big tents---Holland & Holland, Galazan, Green's Guns, Roger Bain, Vintage Firearms, Dave Kerr just to mention a few. Large club house lounge with wide-screen TV. Great food served by local gal at lunch time. Lots of shooters on Saturday and Sunday. Rick Hemmingway has quail and deer hunting available and other game in season. Something for everyone!

Along the lines of what Bill Mullins said - Next year hunters could book a hunt Thursday or Friday, stay in accomodation right on the property, and then shoot the events on Saturday and Sunday. A regular "Fur, Feather and Clays" extravaganza. Think about it!!!

Default Holy Quaquamolie (SP???) (Hate mexican Food!)

Now if I could just find that Harri-Kari (SP????) Dagger!

Y'all are subject to hear about parts-a-me showin up in the bait basket of a crab pot owned by some well connected Elsie connoisseur!

All joking aside, and barring the absence of a few good friends who might could have made things even better....What A Great Shoot! Dr. Truitt was spot on in his assessment of the way things played out. First class in all respects.

Hopefully we'll have even more representatives on hand next year (both for Team Parker and Team Elsie!) so we don't have to worry about no Stinkin Winchester Guys stealin our thunder! (Congrats to the Winchester Guys!)

Thanks to everyone who made our trip wonderful, and especially Rick and his merry band for making the event possible.
