I grew up in Terrell (aka turrll if you're from here) and have tried VERY HARD to get the "east texas twang" out of my vocabulary. I've never been completely sucessful and it slips back in without much trouble.
We were in Tyler over the weekend and asked a lady where we could find an ATM. She said "the closest one is out at Brookshires on the lo-oo-op". I had forgotten "loop" has 3 syllables.

I also welcome you retrieverman. If the answer to the above Q is a resounding yes, well, see the possibility of a budding friendship. Glad to have you.flintknapper wrote:retrieverman wrote:I am new here but not to CHL (12 years). I am in Nacogdoches.
Welcome Sir,
I am just outside of "Nac" myself.
Does your forum name have anything to do with Labradors per chance?
If you need a place to shoot, we both are members of Angelina Rifle & Pistol Club. I am Range Safety Marshall & would invite you out for a shoot & tour.
Up a little early this morning even for you Flint.
Have a great day.
LT

Carry 24-7 or guess right.

Thanks for the warm welcome, and I am already a member of the Angelina Rifle and Pistol Club.
My username does reflect my "attachment" to Labs. My current lady friend (Sugar) will be 12 in October, but she is still in excellent health and loves to retrieve. I quit hunting her a couple of years ago, but we do a lot of retrieving just for fun.
This picture was taken on her last hunt. We were on my Dad's place in Alfalfa Co. Oklahoma on the Salt Fork river.

Welcome as well! Nice looking Choc you have there. I have a 7yr old male... He is one of the kids.
LT, looks like we are getting quite a following here in the East Texas area. What you think about putting together an ET Shoot. I will offer my services to do the cooking. I also have access to mucho cardboard.
