A Good Time

[LaOtto222]

I am setting in the Motel waiting for Stimpy to come down so we can head back East. I wanted to take this opputunity to thank the Gibson's for their hospitality. It was a first for me and hopefully not the last trip. I met lots of fine folks. I was a good thing to put faces with the names. The shooting was good, but a bit windy. I had to shoot into the wind 48" or more on some longer shots. Those .224 40 grain V Max just do not cut it in 30 mph winds at 600 yards. It is mighty satisfying when you make a hit out that far, even if I did not make a lot of them - just too much variable wind. Next time I will have some thing that bucks the wind better...hmmm; maybe a 22 BR with a fast twist...got to do some thinking on that. Well; thanks to all for a great time.

Dan and Helen again went above and beyond taking care of us, a giant Well Done for them, TJ and their friends who helped us out during the hunt! 

Graybeard said he was taking the scenic route going home, he mentioned a trip to Ft Sill as one stop along the way.

I got home at 1:15 PM today, all is well here. When I left stimpy in Delphos, OH he seemed to OK too; as well as could be expected His company on the way out and back was entertaining to say the least. 38 hours (out and back) in the same truck can cause a person to go crazy, if you do not have someone to entertain you. Once again, I wanted to thank Dan and Helen for putting up with us. I left the "guides" out but I much appreciated their sacrifice of personal time to spend with us. A special thanks to TJ - quite entertaining himself. As far as the wind is concerned - that is just the way it is, no one can control that. I knew I was taking a chance by shooting those slow twist barrels, that the wind wasn't going to be howl'n That will teach me for think'n too much. I will have some thing that handles those winds better next time. The whole experience - the food, the shooting, prizes and the folks were all top notch in my book.

Had a change of plans after calling Matt.  He told us that Phil our youngest son had a sore throat and was coughing.  I called to check on him and he could barely talk.  I wanted to come home to make sure he was okay.  If he doesn't get to feeling better there will be a trip to the doctor.   

I would like to thank Dan and Helen for a great time.  The food and company were great. I met alot of nice folks and got to see alot of animals that I had not seen before.
