Now that I am semi-rested, I have to echo what everyone else said, that it was a fine gathering with many laughs, wonderful eats, and fine camaraderie. Also a fine trip sharing a drive with Pat. If you have to drive 950 miles in a day, Pat's a great guy to share the trip smile Also a excellent lunch and tour of N'Orleans by SteveNO. Those homes in the Garden District are just exquisite.

I managed to blood my .54 Hawken, and also the .45-90 Winchester - heck I even managed a semi-competent spot & stalk exercise to harvest the big sow.

My shoulder is only slightly bruised blush tonight. Not sure if it was the 8 bore, or the .577. smile Glad some folks were able to shoot some of mine, like the Baer, the AR10, the High Wall, and the Walker.
