Ole Geauxt, King Ranch, Downshift, and a few others...

Time passes, so quickly.

I appreciate all the good advice I've gotten here over the years.

Not sure about all the ones you mentioned but downshift was on a thread this week.
It’s always slow on here this time of the year.
Sept will get everyone all antsy wanting to plant plots hang stands and brush blinds.

Still around, wasting less time on the internet/phone/screens in general. Funny what kids will do to you.

Met some good people from here over the years, always willing to help anyone.

I wasn't arguing, just explaining why I was right and he was wrong.

We had an OB skeet shoot circa 2012 or so. Don't know if any of those guys post anymore, and since I don't think they do, I kicked everyone's arse.

EJW was a good dude with a good family. We never were super close friends or anything, but I miss that guy.

Not sure about OG. King ranch is alive, we sent a few back and forth texts not long ago. We all grew up (some of us did), had kids and marriages and divorces and shite

‘He passed away 2-3 years ago. He was posting until the end. ALS is a hell of a disease.

I believe I was there at this event and remember the results differently

Maybe it was a different shoot lol

Last time he was asked about on here I reached out to him. He said he doesn't post anymore but still lurks. Hopefully nascar will pop in here if he sees the thread. Finally, I see the shiny hook got Alx.

I got to meet him at the EJW benefit. He hosted a pirogue building event at his home before he passed. Hopefully some of the posters who attended will open this thread. I know someone took a lot of photos to document the building process - it was very cool and I'd enjoy seeing those photos again.

He went gay and enjoys shopping more than the outdoors.

We ought to get a group together and lease some pasture in the McComb/Natchez corridor and do an OB Dove Club or someting like that.

It would be a shite ton of work. And I am not volunteering myself but I would be the first one to pay $1k or so if someone got it together.
