Sounds like a good time Joe. I will definately try to make this one.

[gspman]

I'm in. 3 birds. One lunch. One pointer. It's always a fun time at these get togethers.

Brian,

Let me know if you're going. I think I can go. I need a tune-up for the animal, so this would be good.

I am sure this has been discussed, but Rocky Bay is fun little game farm. The owners are very nice people and very accomodating.

[fishnhooks]

Ray,

I agree Al and Val are very nice people to work with and like you said they are very accomodating. That is were I brought my pup for his first time out and Val offered to give my pup a little extra head start before our hunt began.

Not much interest in the pheasant hunt this year

This has been real fun get togther in the past. If your interested or have any questions post here.

Only a couple more weeks until I need to send in the deposit.

[BDR]

Looks like I have to miss this one. I am coaching a fastpitch team that will be in the state tourney that weekend.

[metrojoe]

That's to bad Brian. Maybe I'll see you on opener.

[Blaze]

Like BDR, I can't make it either. Apparently my family doesn't understand my policy of "No weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs, or any other special events from Sept. 1 through Jan. 1 so I can meet my annual hunting quota." At least I can hunt on Thanksgiving morning, Christmas Eve day, and New Year's Eve day.

And no, I'm not Jewish.

[metrojoe]

I was out getting my young setter on some birds yesterday and other than the dew soaked fields drenching me, it was a great morning.

Only a couple weeks left before the deposits have to be in. Hope to see some of the other members there.

[metrojoe]

The hunt is only 3 weeks away and deposits need to be in this week. See you at Rocky Bay

[metrojoe]

Thanks gspman. Your paid in full.

[fishnhooks]

metrojoe,

Just wondering what kind of count you got to attend this event?

[metrojoe]

Why?......are you the guys planning a hunt for Sunday? We're looking at 15 to 20 guys.

Have your group come with us on Saturday.

[fishnhooks]

Actually yes. Would love to join in on Saturday.. but 2 out of the 4 can't do it Saturday and the wallet says I can't do both. I was just trying to figure out how worked the property is go to be.

Hope you guys have fun! P.S. try to leave a couple of scratch birds for us

fishnhooks,

With our dogs & our shooting skills there won't even be a grasshopper left on the property when we're done...

Sherman's march to the sea is what comes to mind.

And if you believe that I have some swampland in Florida to sell you.

That's what I am afraid of

How much for the swampland?

Now, if I was there on Sat. you guys would see birds flying all over the place... notice I said flying, not falling.

Would have loved to go on both days, but I don't think I can.

If you guys want you can leave some left over food with Val for us.

Just heard the news...too late to join in the fun?

[metrojoe]

Hey WW,

I have to say I'm a bit confused. I was under the impression you were invited, but couldn't make it.

No matter....your more than welcome to come along. Will it be just you?

[Wild Willie]

I probably heard but I'm getting old and my memory is failing. Just me, Buddy, lunch and three birds. Any car pooling happening? How do you want to handle the deposit this late in the game?

[metrojoe]

It happens to the best of us. I should have plenty of room. Does Buddy ride in a kennel? Give me a call at 651-245-2583.
