Default What new toys followed you home from the Southern?

I was tempted by a real strong early DH 12/30 in great condition but the seller wouldn't move off his asking price, a Fox AE 20ga 26" in much better than average condition, nice gun but I'm not a 20ga lover, a Parker BHE 12ga straight grip very nice but it had a pad which killed it for me. No purchases for me but I did shoot about 400 targets and had a great time seeing friends. How about you?

I shot two rounds of 16 ga just to keep in shape and no guns followed me home.
Aside from the Covid virus I contracted, the only thing that followed me out of Sanford was this wonderfully restored Cha’s Parker coffee grinder that I bought from Mark Conrad.

I picked up a German (Ketner) damascus hammer gun in 12g. As well as 4 trunk cases. And some parts.

That is a nice coffee mill! We got a few things from Eric Kramer and a few game calls from Leaning Tree Game calls and a few items from the HOF dinner.

Hard to say just where I caught the virus but we were there and at three different hotels breakfast areas for 5 consecutive days/nights before I began to exhibit symptoms.
I’m almost 100% symptom free at this point.
