I hope I was not too boring all this years and hope my help was usefull sometimes.
Thank you all for being here and for sharing your experience and knowledge with me

Never boring, frequently useful. Your location in the world also provides arcane knowledge not typically found in this country.

Geno, always nice to read your posts about dogs and hunting. Especially since you have true Irish Setters.
Keep up with more pictures of your beautiful dogs and scenery.

Geno, I've personally benifitted from your knowledge and experience on several occasions. You identified a 20b hammer gun for me a couple of years ago. Tula gun Pre-war Toz-B if my memory serves me correctly. I wrote down the info you provided and keep it in the case with the old girl. That will keep my kids from having to start over with the research when the Good Lord calls me home to the great pheasant field in the sky. Thanks again for your Russian perspective and knowledge.

Three thousand posts---and all good ones. Thank you.

I particularly enjoy your hunting pictures. The boars, the Irish Setters, and gamebirds I never heard of.

Thanks!

Mike

Seems like just yesterday that we convinced you to take the handle Geno instead of Gena.....Always enjoy pics of your guns and stories of Russian upland and waterfowl hunting ....

Looking forward to the next 3000 posts and many more of your photographs of dogs, guns, friends and family. A toast to your friendship and to your friends and family! .. and the best looking red dogs I've ever seen;-)

Congratulations and your 3000, hope ypu get 3000+ more!!

All the best!

Greg

Geno- I've learned much, not only from you but because of you. Your posts introduced me to a Russia I never knew existed and led me to ask questions of our many immigrants. I've learned a great deal. Thanks.

Ps: Good luck with the "mooses"!

Lydnadschampion

Congratulations on your 3000th Geno.

Still waiting for those Poleva slug samples,

Best regards,

Gena, your posts are always interesting, and ones I will read based on the author, no matter the subject. I never understood Russ and some of the others pressuring you to change your name?

I'm quite new around here, but always love to read your posts Geno. As many others have stated, your pictures and posts provide me a glimpse at a land I have yet to know personally - thanks!

Thanks for everything you have added to this BBS!

Geno, I always enjoy your writings and especially when accompanied by photos of your hunts. I always share the pictures with my 13 year old nephew. I also enjoy the look, on my huntings friends faces, when I say "This fellow from St. Petersburg Russia says.....". Best to you, Kurt

Irish Setters? Did you guys say Irish Setters? OK. Where's my car keys?......... But seriously, Geno, you have always given us a good perspective on everything and it has been a pleasure to know you. I know that everyone is glad to call you their friend. Good luck.

Thank's, guys

BTW, I found the place in US where to get hunting "old fashion" Irish setters
