Like Gregg, I've been blessed to have the chance to hunt a bunch of states - 12 in total and 9 of those 12 being with other trad guys as a result of the St. Jude auction or TG in general. As of yet, I haven't had a bad experience. I was really looking forward to meeting Jeremy, Jay and Travis and getting the opportunity to hunt with Gregg again, but life (and death) happens and I needed to be with my family these last several days.
Missing a chance to chase critters is one thing, but missing a chance to share a camp with these guys and eat Andre's cooking just hurts. However, I have a feeling we'll be able to get together sometime in the not-too-distant future. Your generous offer to St. Jude and the lengths you went to make Gregg and I feel prepared is greatly appreciated. If offered again, the winner won't get it cheaply!
