Hi ALL, Boy, how time passes so fast! Hope you 'all have been well.

I had a great trip pheasant hunting in South Dakota with my brother Ted. We had a total of 12 from all over - Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York and Florida. Most were guys that flew F-105D's with Ted. Still, it took an "Alabama Boy" to keep the humble in the field. The limit is 3 per day - or 9 for the 3 days we hunted. We mixed various groups to make it fun - also, we hunted a "joint limit" so in theory one person could get the entire limit. For my groups we had a total limit of 79 - of which I had 26.

However, when it came to drinking wine -I was LAST. Ted brought 3 cases (yep, 36 bottles) of Italian red wine for the 4 nights at the ranch. MY TOTAL CONSUMED? ZERO!!!

Of course I don't drink - but, I won the "Coke Competition"!!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
