Thinking good thoughts for Pam's father. You've got some of the best oncology docs in the country down there in Rochester. Good to see photos of Camp Chickenbuck and all the Chickenbuckers again. And again, that camp keeps giving it's healing powers to those in need. Awesome.

I'm game. I need to get out with the venison ventilators a bunch before the season starts. me too! I had a few cobwebs to sort out the first time, some bad primers and some too heavy crimped bullets. those 80 gr noslers shot very well, when they went off. let me know when your ready, we'll do it.

Fluffy- let's plan this out. I'd like to shoot again. Maybe take the .243 out to 200 yards, run a couple through my Hawken, maybe a couple rounds through my '06, and hopefully have the Low Standard ready for another attempt.

Let me know if you guys want company. I have a mini-van, so we could go in style and comfort.....

Im still threatening to build my "deer stringer".
If I knew for sure that some people would be offended, I'd be building it right now.
Thanks very much for the well wishes for Pam's dad. She's a wreck over this, it's very hard.
Something clever here.

I can't imagine how hard it is, so I won't pretend I do. But, info think about what you guys are going through every day since I found out. It stinks, plain and simple way to put it.
Now a deer stringer...you may be on to something here!
