I am working like crazy to make this opportunity work. Hell, my Wife already has me packed to go.

I she has you packed this early she must want you gone pretty bad

No,my wife wants me to go and have fun. I am a very lucky man to have a Wife as good as mine. The really cool thing about my wife and children is that we all shoot though,I am the only hunter.

It is a definite,I will be going along on the Boar hunt. How exciting! I have already made a list of what I nee to bring and checked it twice.....hate to leave home and forget my weapons.

done forget the ammo , this has been many times over the years

Thanks for the advice. Without ammo,I would be forced to use my rifle like a club......no,no,no.

Been on the road for a couple weeks and haven't been following closely but I think here's the latest. Corrections welcome.

Hatari - bailed on us due to family commitments but is sending a batch home homemade Calvados via me for or health so we'll toast to his health.

Welcome home,Allen. I'm glad to see my deposit has been noted. I have called the owner 3 times with no answer and left a message with the guide to have owner call. So,I just sent a check for a grand. They must be hunt or work busy.

Chris Palmer is my 1 guest.

When does Steve get back?

I just assumed for deposit was there Bob. I got a note back from them with directions when they cashed my check. I think Steve will be back this week.

Boy, That's good to know about the 500sq. in. of blaze orange to hunt.....I was going to wear a brown pinstripe and oxfords.....just kidding. I really am glad to learn this.

After deciding what to use for a rifle,I decided to bring two! Very different but very good. Next is off to the range.

I'm baaaaaaack!

Had a great visit with two old(89 and 92) hunting buddies. They still have all the qualities that made them great to hunt with, and the memories of our hunts were discussed in detail. I'm still hoping to hunt again with one of them.

Concerning hunter orange, I think it is a good and necessary approach for all who are in the field to wear it, regardless of whether firearm or bow hunting, or just taking a walk in the woods. A lack of safe hunting practices can mess up a really good time.

So: Cold chambers until actually hunting, and hunter orange.

Allen,

Please add a +1 to my name on the committed list.

The addition is the brother-in-law of my son-in-law.

He's a truly great guy who I have boar hunted with in Maine.

His name is Ben, and I'm glad he is joining us.

Steve

I hate that I won't be able to make it. A family obligation came up during that spot on the calendar. Good luck to you guys and take lots of pictures for we unfortunates.

damn 1 less donut eater

Allen,

OOOPS! Just found out that portsider and Ben are the same. And portsider is already listed as committed.

Looks like I'm catching up somewhat slowly.

Steve
