Dats no kidding, and its not to mention all the planning, logistics, and hours waiting at the airport to give a visiting Montanan a ride.

Really...Tom, Bob and Dan went way over the top in their generosity... ============== Tony...since I no longer imbibe, I was simply going to gift it to my hunting buddies for a "opening day pass around in camp till it's done" kind of thing. If you're out, you and your lovely wife and friends can knock out one of the two bottles...with my blessings.

Dan and I did nothing the other 28 guys wouldn't have done for the group. You saw it with Joe for your return flight. That pulled venison with a bite Joe made was frikken good. Kentucky is populated by some fine men.
Dan, Pat, Steve, Allen and myself simply have it down to a easy planning science since we've done it so many times.
Getting you to camp was my pleasure,Tom. Next time I'll get a bigger SUV. I had no idea you were as big as the other three Gigantors in camp.
Oh yeah, almost forgot...happy to hear about Rommel. I knew you were carrying that weight and I'm glad it turned out well. I trust he's back in full regal swing.

I told you you'd be sorry that you missed the earlier outings. Talk Sam into going with us next year.
I'll give you a shout for turkey hunting out at the farm in Warrenton. It's loaded with them. It will also give you a chance to check out the property for some Fall deer hunting.

Dan, Pat, Steve, Allen and myself simply have it down to a easy planning science since we've done it so many times. Some of you guys have a born gift for organization and planning, and the rest of us benefit mightily from it. I'm grateful for everything you've done. Sorry I didn't get up at 5:00 to wave goodbye on Sunday morning, though. And if Steve posted here a little more often, we could thank him a little more for all the behind-the-scene stuff he does, not only during the hunt, but well beforehand as well. What a terrific gentleman he is.

Steve and Pugs sure did a lot of the logistics, and the actual hard work! All of you are class acts for sure. Thanks again for everything, including your concern, at a time when you had little concern to spare.

Jerry...those plum preserves rock,man.
Please make sure your lovely wife knows I appreciate her effort.
My stepson lathered it over a English muffin topped with some stuff my wife and son love called Nutella.
Thank you. Thanks to your wife.

I've been searching my ass off for the good doctor's 7x57.
I didn't discuss prices with the doc since he wasn't near ready to part ways from that beauty but I have specially set aside 350 bucks to quickly pick one up if it avails itself. Even told the M.D. I'd throw in a prenup. Ingrate!
I don't know if I can wait out sandcritter so if any of you find one, please let me know straight away. And don't buy it first expecting to make more money off of me.
Yeah, I know how you boys roll! Bob, just pm me your digits and if another BRNO Mannlicher shows up, by all means would buzz you. Perhaps we trade the finders fee for the prenup. Was just down at the same honey hole this AM debating how much I wanted a particular old Suhl shotgun(s) vs. other priorities... (Other priorities won this time). P.s. remember, don't care who did what... can live in a tent, but certain old rifles and shotguns stay with me.
