Don (huntsman22) and his pup Finn stopped by our place on their way up to The Icebreaker.. It was so good to finally get to visit with him in person! We shot a lot, plus talked rifles, handguns, blades, optics, life, basically everything really... If you ever get the chance to meet Don, do it. What a great guy.

I had the pleasure of meeting Don and Finn at the Icebreaker too. Great guy, and nice rifles. Finn is a great pup too.

I didn't mention meeting montana marine or anyone else at the shoot. just the side trippers. I did talk to deflave on the phone, tho. I was on my way to Bozeman this morning to see my niece and her two squabs, and hopefully hook up with shrapnel, but run'd over a herd of deer and knocked the parts off'n the front of my truck, so cut my montana visitation schedule off and headed home instead.....

...looks like you guys had a good day, and sharing rigs like that is always great medicine.

i often look for your posts.

Don i'd guess that trip heading west was a bummer for sure---heck of a deal after capping off a good weekend....

Ben, ditto!


I was in the tractor all afternoon but Don had got ahold of my dad and they had a good talk. I got to visit for about an hour before Don hit the trail. And Finn and Whitey got to goof around for a little while as well.



Don, hate to see the ol' Ford lookin' like that!

Hopefully next time you're up we can do a 'tour'...

Ben and Don;
Thanks to both of you fine gentlemen for sharing the photos of your recent get together.

You both would be high on my personal list of "Fire Folks to Meet Someday" for sure - well Sam too naturally. wink

It doesn't surprise me whatsoever that a grand time was had by all in attendance.

Thanks again for the photos and story gentlemen and all the best to your respective families this spring.

Dwayne
