Hello From GA

[Carl in GA]

Thanks again, everyone, for the warm welcome! I'm looking forward to getting my new little friend fed.

You have a Gander Mountain in Valdosta?

How'd y'all manage that?

Yeah, I saw a duty finish VBOB at the Gander Mountain in Opelika, AL for that price, and I though it had to be a mistake. The duty finish Valor was only $1700. They both have the same MSRP.

I used to drive down to Albany to shop at the Outdoor World there until it closed. I got my 30-06 Browning B78 Highwall there. I HATE driving through Atlanta, but I have to go through Atlanta to get to the Bass Pro Shop. I may have to make a pilgrimage down to Valdosta...

Clean livin', I guess ... the one advantage to a town with very little chance to do the other kind.

At the time, they had one duty treat Valor and one SS (the one I grabbed ... the guy checked in the back for another one, but said they only had the one in the case), a Guardian .45, a CCO and the VBOB. Once I confirmed the price on the VBOB I didin't even touch it. I decided I couldn't afford to like it!

Thanks, and I know what you mean. I moved to Wisconsin for a couple of years for a job that looked too good to turn down. Two winters up there, and suddenly the job didn't look that good anymore. Now that I'm back, I'm staying put.

I was stationed at Ft. Stewart for just over 2 yrs. Prior to that, my first visit to Georgia was the douglasville area with my roomie while we were stationed at Ft. Hood Tx. Fell in love with the people and beautiful countryside of N. Georgia.

Two things I learned in Georgia, One is to never put butter and sugar on your grits -damn near got run outta my buddies house for that and the other was when you're leaving, you don't say goodbye or see ya later, you say - "Hawl at cha'"


Good times and great memories
