My visit to meet Demi in South Carolina.
Permalink  
 


I was in South Carolina earlier this week and paid Demi a visit. He was a very gracious host, we had crab legs (blue crabs) wine and chilled watermelon after we got done shooting. 

Here are some photos of my visit.

My friend Mike who I visited on a different island in South Carolina is an old friend whom I have known for 57 years!

Here is his German Sheppard and some mighty fine Italian food that his wife made for us during my stay at there home.

One of the photos is of Fort Sumpter where the Civil War began!

Here are the blue crab legs we were chowing down on. Demi got them out of one of his crab traps close to the house!

Hello Lefty, that is correct !

He had a very nice shooting facility on his property.

Demi is very big in to sporting clay shooting and shoots all over the country and abroad as well. We compared notes on some of the live bird hunts he and I have had in Argentina. He is an interesting guy to talk with because he has many interests besides just crows. He hunts big game in Africa so we had that in common as well. Here is some writing on one of the walls in one of his bedrooms from the Civil War ! It was from a regiment from Brooklyn New York that took over his home during the war between the states. I also took this photo of the south side of Demi's home. He has a nice layout with the boat dock right in his backyard!

Bob,

It was nice to meet both you and Mike! And you really lucked out on the weather...today’s heat index was 105 and it will be even hotter tomorrow!  It is nice to finally meet you face to face. Ellie said she could tell that you have never met a stranger!biggrin

You shot well on some pretty challenging targets, particularly considering you were using a borrowed gun.  Shooting crows has kept you on top of your game!

Thanks for the post and good to see you got back without any problems.

Demi

P.S. Those Civil War writings on the walls are sometimes referred to as “Yankee Doodles.“

Demi, would you like me to e-mail you the photos that I took on the afternoon Mike and I spent with you and your wife?

The offbeat off shoot squirrels around here tend to be black oddly enough but other wise gray squirrels and the smaller near chipmunk sized red squirrel....which are variations of the "red" which is more dull red fox color.....to dull orange...

Thanks, Paul. We are blessed to have a place like this! The fact that we bought it 40 years ago made it affordable because it was 45 minutes away from town. That drive is nothing these days, but back then it was why we got such a good deal on it. After paying off the mortgage on it, we were able to start buying things like traps.

Owning a construction company allowed me to maintain the house, too!

Demi
