It was great didn't think it could be better that last year, but it was. Even with high wind it was grat it made one learn to dope the wind. I for one had a great time every body got along real will, no real problems arose. Liketohunt even got his 357 mag turned into a 357 max can't wait to hear how it shoots. Jimmy and I had to come back a little early but that is alright we bout had a real good time. Used my Remington 700 in  22-250 and my Savage in 204 mostly they made me proud. I let the others tell their experince but can't say enough how good a time I had.

Well, I'm glad to hear that you guys had a good time.  I had just as much fun watching you guys shoot as you did shooting.  Plus, my daughter got to come out this year and do some shooting also.  She's hooked now.

The dogs and the weather didn't quite cooperate, but we still got some good shooting in.

I'm glad everyone had a safe & fun trip. Its a pleasure to hear about others doing the things I like.   I wanted to go but had to save my leave for other things.  Got to visit my daughter in CA (marine pilot)before she goes back to Iraq.  Got an elk tag for CO.  Applied for antelope in WY.   One of these days I'm going to shoot pds again but meanwhile you guys keep their heads down. :D

I had a great time also,but they had to hold a gun on me to get me to eat those ribs and butts. :-D  :-D  :-D .I even dedicated a few shots for old Deadeye since he wasn't there to do it. :(  :(
Many thanks to Wes and Dan for all they've done for us,and I hope that Kelsey and Taylor can teach their Dads a little more about shooting. :-D  :-D Digger

Made it back ok with Keven and dad.   All had a good time.  Great seeing everyone again (and meeting a few new faces).  Thanks for everything Wes!

Wow;
What a trip! Had the best time. Galssmaker and myself drove stright through on the way back. 19.25 hrs. Caught a lot of rain in OK and Ark. Had to pull off the road several times it was raining so hard.
Seen 2 fawn pronghorn  about five miles from Dano's house, right in the middle of the road on Sunday.
I had a blast.

Wow, what a week! Got back in with Digger at about 4 Monday afternoon. Spent the rest of the day unpacking and cleaning guns. Got to work at about 6:15 Tue. morning and put in 12 1/2 hours that day, and then ran like crazy the rest of the week too. Actually made a good post here on Wed. morning but my computer sent it into hyperspace somewhere so I'm trying again.
This year's shoot was soooooo cool for me. Got to meet and spend at least a little time with everyone there this year I think. Learned a lot about compensating for the wind too. The prarie dogs weren't as cooperative this year as last but I still managed some long shots between 4 and 500 yards but still got a lot of short range stuff too. There was one time when Digger and I found a new town that hadn't been shot and set up there. About the time we got good and ready the "Merles" called and Digger went to meet up with them and I got to shoot alone for about thirty minutes. Man! I was decapitating them little boogers at about 60-80 yards with the .223, that was fun! Got some great long range shots with my 220 Swift and Savage 22-250 too. Rimfire shooting on the last afternoon and mornings we were there just was icing on the cake. Even got a rattlesnake that was down in a burrow with my 20 gauge during the weekend too.
(Side-note)----Ole Paul is crackshot with that pistol of his too.  :-D   :D
 
BIG thanks to Wes for wearing himself out guiding all of us, to Dan for cooking two days in a row and for helping out with a meeting place, BIG thanks to Helen too, because we all know behind every good man there's a better woman.  :wink:   :mrgreen:
Thanks to Stimpylu32 for the brass and the shotgun ammo and the carrying case too, you're alright man. :D
And last, but certainly not least, to Jimmy and Hellacatcher for getting me fixed up with a .357 Max barrel! Going to polish the chamber and run some rounds thru her today as a matter of fact.
To everyone I met and to those I saw again, it was a pleasure. You are all a GREAT bunch of guys and I feel priviliged to know every one of ya. Too bad this only happens once a year.
