Great trip, gents! Looking forward to the Fall hunt.

Bob,
for what it is worth, FC from Ohio coined the phrase of "jack rabbits needing to break out the snorkel pretty quick", which, at the time, put me out of the hunt for about five, chuckling. ... Carl- FC has a delightful sense of humor, fortunately for myself. When we were shooting clay birds I loaned him my O/U shotgun, which is European-styled with two triggers. I gave him a quick briefing on running it, but failed to notice that he put his index finger on the front trigger and middle finger on the rear. His first trial on a clay naturally resulted in a Ba-Boom that got the attention of the onlookers. I was afraid that the gun had malfunctioned and doubled, but we quickly diagnosed the 2-finger cause. FC kept his smile, started loading the bottom barrel singly, and went on to smack a string of birds, one after another. I suspect the two-trigger introduction with a target-loaded 12-bore was better than than with one of gunner's big double rifles. My Merkel SxS certainly appreciated being handled with your fine Teutonic skills. On a couple of shots you showed astonishingly fast reflexes. Be well, Carl. --Bob

Y'know... I was kind hoping that story didn't get out to the 'Fire at large...  FC

Gunner, glad to see you made it back to the farm OK. How'd you like my mud boggin skills when we were leaving?  , I just twisted that little Z71 in 4 wheel high and tried to keep, I had two thoughts: What lit a fire under those mens butts? That cat's driven over A LOT of snow and ice before.  , saw the 90 degree shuffle.

LOL, that Sauer only weighs 'bout 6 and a quarter lbs, can surely cause lack of oxygen to the eyes.

I take the blame for the Poobahs miss. I was holding the green lights on the hogs I am sure I did something wrong to cause the miss. There is no way that The Poobah and The McFlame AI could in anyway miss something as big as those pigs.
I wish someone could of seen me make the mud road run in the KIA it was epic. I will no longer worry about my wife being able to get in and out of town in bad weather she has no excuse that car will go like hell.

He didn't miss. It's just hard to track then through a pond.

There is that as well. How often do you have ducks swimming under the corn feeder?
