72... not to shabby!

Paul,

I talked to Gordo this afternoon via Satellite phone. They moved him to a FOB (Forward Operating Base), then he'll catch a covoy Kandahar. Sounds like he should be seeing you around the 7th-8th of February.
I sent a box of his hunting clothes and some fishing tackle/gear out USPS Priority to you.

Wish I could be there with you guys!

Thank-you, and again, very nice hunt!

... for the rest of you, Paul has offered to host my hunting buddy, Gord, while he is on 3 week aleave from the Canadian Armed Forces where Gord is an MP stationed with the Afgan Troops at a romote Outpost. It has been pretty 'hairy' over there. More tiggertime than a good spring Snow Goose hunt, unforunately.

Thank-you Paul!!

[Kenny Thompson]

We need to have an Avery Convention up there...All of us pounding on the Geese....

[Curt Wilson]

Great job, Paul. That looks like a lot of fun, especially since our season just closed.

[Mike Hungle]

I figured it was getting close to that time of year. Good stuff. Hunt safe!

[George Zahradka]

Our end is there begining.......great hunt guys.....

[Ramie Denzel]

[Eric Bragg]

You guys are AWESOME !!
Cant wait to see all your season photos !

[Brad W]

Great hunt Paul and I too want too thank you for providing what will no doubt be a great leave for one of our Canadian troops serving in Afghanistan (The Suck). Let him know we are thinking of them every day.

[Travis Mueller]

That's a lot of meat.

[David Harper]

I am looking forward to Gordo arriving, lets just hope I can track down some geese to hunt while he is here otherwise the trout are going to get a hammering!

[Kevin Addy]

Big brown trout and no limits on geese - it doesnt get much better.

[duckin82]

what i would give to live out there, 72 honkers between three guys, that is insane!

[Wayne Radcliffe]

Way to get them Paul. I know your just getting warmed up and I look forward to your future posts.

[chase_n_green]
