My Apologizes

Just wanted to reach out and touch base as I've been pretty absent the past month or so.
As some of you know I got married on Sept 18th which had me all kinds of busy and distracted since the beginning of Sept.
About a week before the wedding my Pop took sick which also took me away from work related situations.
Unfortunately my Pop passed away October 1st. I've kinda been in and out since then taking care of family matters as well as figuring out how to cope with coming into our family business without him around.
For the most part I am back in the store. So if I did not reply to a PM or an e-mail, I am sorry. I am doing my best to catch up and get back on top of things. Thanks for your understanding.

You have my deepest sympathy.
I don't know what else to say.

No apologies necessary.

I am very sorry for your loss. My sincere sympathy. Expected or unexpected, losing a loved one is always harder than one would imagine.

I would say something about your marriage, but in light of your other news, I'll just wish you the best. You'll need it.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

Doug,

sorry to hear that, I lost a family friend aged 80 and an uncle in his late 50's last week. Must be the season.

My father is at 26% lung capacity and has COPD, so probably soon on him too.
