Was supposed to catch a C130 for Baghdad a few hours ago but they cancelled the flight. It may work out for the best as they are talking about bringing in a charter flight tomorrow and flying us straight to Dubai (spending a night at the transit center in Baghdad is not fun).

I was sorry to hear you aren't going to make it Larry, though without you (and songdog) to compete against, and since Randy decided to give us a break and leave the .17 at home, I dropped my plans to bring this:

WOW, haven't seen that lion avatar around in a long while!

Looking forward to meeting you in Globe, Leon...

Leon - Your still going to have to beat me this year..... at the last minute I've decided that I can't go a year without seeing the guys again. It'll be good to see you again, I bet you've got some stories to tell.

Just signed up myself.

See ya there.

not another moderator just kidding. it's alot of fun seeing people in person. cant wait leaving friday. Rick

OH CRUD!!! MJM's coming!!! And I already told the guys I wouldn't be needing that M19!!!

Ah well, I didn't stand much of a chance of winning anyway after 15 months of no range time. Now I REALLY don't stand a chance.

If you really need to borrow a gun Michael, I'll loan you a Rem 870 (just cause I'm a heck of a guy).

I was planning to try to get in at least a little practice, but the plane was cancelled today and is cancelled again tomorrow so I may not have a whole lot of practice time.

Leon - Range time ... what range time ... ... I haven't shot seriously since the last egg shoot so you and I are on similar footing. Thanks for the offer of the 870, it's tempting but I've got an 870 of my own. I'm picking up the AR on Friday, now if I can only find some bullets and powder. It's a 223 AI, I've got an AI, but you know how those wildcats and chambers are. I am hoping to get some range time in this weekend. I hope you can get some trigger time in as well.......

Just want to verify, that it's possible to sign up last minute at the egg shoot, so we don't HSVE TO sign up early for it? Correct??

I might decide to get in, just to harrass Leon!! Glad to hear you're going to make it Leon!!! Been a long time since we sat side by side blastin' those cute little prairie rats.

Yes, you can register to shoot at the hunt, but you must also be registered for the hunt ($25).

Yeah Tim, I remember very well sitting next to you blasting prairie rats. You with a 17hmr hitting 90% at 250 yds.

I just knew I should have arranged to bring the full-auto grenade launcher.

I'm on my way. In Dubai now and catching a plane for Atlanta in a few hours. See ya there.

ALL RIGHT! If the creeks don't rise I'll be heading WEST on I-40 to Holbrook then South Sunday @ 0600 hours BMNT!

Watch your 6!

Funny funny, funny. I see you still got your sense of humor Leon. Like anyone in their right mind would believe that the hmr has enough energy to kill a prairie dog at 250 yards, Will a 17gr. v-max even fly that far? :D Let alone feeding everyone the line that I was actually hitting any of them past 100 yards. You apparently missed my earlier post where I state that I'm happy to hit a prairie dog at 200 yards and tickled to kill a coyote at 300 yards. let alone being able to hit an egg beyond 100 yards.

I wish that i could make it this year. I just got back from a javelina hunt on the res. we didn't get the pigs but we did find some time to make five stands. called in 4 but only got 1.
