Dear Mr. Neil,
There is but few things I would NOT EAT kind Sir they are: Brussels sprouts, lima beans, and pickle beets. Other that I am a very humble and simple country man and would try most any meal offered to me my friend. there is no need for a fancy meal as I am not use to that however I would not want to insult anyone either. I do understand many of the English Folks think of the 20 bores as a child’s gun however my size and stature does not allow for me to shoot the 12 & 16 bores for very long as they will black & blue my shoulder even with a shooters jacket on.
I must admit I only shoot what I intend to eat as well my trophy days are over long ago. I have two trophy sets of antlers no head mounts, as I could not afford them. I mounted the antlers myself on a plank that looks like a shield. The other one I made knifes out of.
As to the Fly tying I did some in my day I’ll have to get your address and send you a few dry fly’s that I have tied .if you will tell me what you like or use I have made several hundred or so LOL . My fly rod is nothing to brag about as it is a modern one but the reel is my grandfathers PFlugger and is quite old . I do not fit in with the bankers and business folks when it come to the fancy clothing & shoes as mine are made by Carhartt Co, and Gortex they keep you warm and dry they are plain and simple and do what they were design to do, so one can enjoy the outdoors.
Someday I look forward to my pint and a meal even a simple Sheppard’s Pie would be nice.
