You still live in Auxsass Mo?

By the way what is an Aux? Is there a hunting season for them?

Yep still is Auxvasse. It's something foreign, have no clue what it means, but it's pronounced "Of-Oz".

Re: Shimming scope mounts

The name Auxvasse was given to the creek by early French explorers who had trouble crossing the stream in the area east of the present town of Mokane. Lillbourn W. Boggs, who later became governor of Missouri, was traveling with the Frenchmen at the time. Some of the wagons became mired and were pulled free only after long hard labor by the entire company. Thereafter, the French called the stream "Riviere Aux Vases" or river with miry places.

I've been down to Auxvasse Creek a ton, it's maybe a mile from my house. Isn't too miry. Interesting.
