Stan
Many thanks for the invitation, and I sure hope to take you up on that offer some day. Years ago I used to hunt some down in Burke County near Waynesboro; had a pack of beagles and had some great times running cottontails in the heads around those huge open fields (not many rabbits in my part of N. GA in those days). Also had a great time down there at the Bole Weevil Planation; don't know if that operation is still in business, but they had the hardest flying pen-raised quail I've ever shot. Eighteen months ago my wife and I moved to Townville, SC (so I could take advantage of a great job opportunity in Greenville) and I don't know a soul in this area other than Bill McPhail and Tom Martin; which as we all know is pretty good company, but I haven't had the time to find places to ramble. I do however, have an invitation to a dove shoot tomorrow in Madison County, GA near Ila; supposed to show up with a shotgun and smile about 11:AM and be prepared to enjoy some old fashioned southern style bar-be-cue, and I am super excited! Haven't fired a shotgun since opening day last September, and I know I'll be rusty; but I did manage to have my cataracts repaired recently, so at least I'll be able to see a dove tomorrow before he's inside 20 yards! I'm taking an old 1901 vintage SAC gun that I'll be shooting for the very first time, so who knows whether I'll bag a bird or not; but at this stage in my life I don't care about limits and averages, just being there to experience the event and the fellowship will be quite a blessing by itself. I can't remember if the south GA season opens tomorrow or not; but I always enjoy seeing pix of you and your family's successful shoots, so I wish you guys lots of luck and fun. Best, Tom
