Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's something you've done that almost nobody else has ever done?

Ace...god I miss that crazy moodafucker.

Dude is absolutely hilarious.

One upper lol.

I have ended a a few places I wish I hadn't but it all worked out..

In April 1968 our high school band was in DC to march in the Cherry Blossom Festival, when the riots broke out. We were sent home but got caught up in the riots, at 13 I saw my first shooting as cops were battling rioters outside our bus.

In March 1979 I was pulling parts from a wrecked Jeep a guy had in his field, the field bordered the river and you could watch folks scrambling around and sirens going off over on the island. Later I found out the Three Mile Island accident had occurred and there was a partial nuclear meltdown happening as we watched.

I flew a hang glider off of Lookout Mountain, Georgia.
Here I am doing a "wire launch." The wind is so strong on the ramp that it would flip me over if I just walked up there. So my ground crew is holding me to the ground by my flying wires.
Here, I have just yelled "Clear!" and my ground crew has released the wires.














I caught a good thermal that day and got 3,000 feet above the valley.
Damn, that was some fun!

Not something to brag about, but a somber moment I wont ever forget.

Shortly after the flight 93 crash on 9/11 work duties had me at the crash site in the field. Access to that whole area was denied to the public and guarded by the Sheriff's department living in a temporary trailer as it was an ongoing investigation by FBI etc. 100yds away was probably as close as I was to it, but hard to describe the mix of emotions at that time looking at the tore up hole in ground just prior to the woods edge.

Also while I was there I drove back the public access field road where apparently now the memorial is. At that time there was a temporary memorial already started by the public. Already had pictures and letters from people all over the U.S.

To add to that whole experience at the time, I'm related to the wife of Todd Beamer. The man who was relaying to an operator their plan to take over the plane. His last recorded words were, "Are you guys ready? Okay. Let's roll."

Gene Moe is the best known one. pak used to live across the street from him.

Who was first?

I made AND ate pickled pork hocks.


Yes it's true.

I met Margaret Thatcher, briefly. (The Iron Lady, herself)

hahahaha. Oh crap, Iron tff. Unreal.

I shït my pants on each of the 9 continents, all by accident.

When I was 12, my cousin, Wes, who was 13, and I, were staying at my uncle's, Wes's dad's ranch near Jay Em Wyoming, all four of our parents had went to Denver for a few days, and figured, knew, we could feed and milk, etc., till they got back. This was only one of several times we had done that. But this one time a big 'ol lion showed up out under the yard light. We kinda freaked out a little at first, peeking out the windows, and freaked even more when it came and paced the open porch that spanned the whole front of the house. It hung around on the porch long enough that we developed a plan. This was the plan; Wes watched through a small slit window high on the door, and I was on one knee with a SxS 12ga and when Wes opened the door, I gave that mountain lion 2 barrels of bird shot from about 6 feet away. I never claimed it was the best plan, we probably could of just went to bed and been safer, but it was a kid plan, and it got the job done. What a mess though, nearly cut that lion in half, and splatter blood painted a big spot in front of the front door and the stairs up to the porch.

I made the front page of the Houston Chronicle on the day I was born.

For some reason they used to make a big deal of the 20,000th baby born in Houston every year. That was me in 1956. The headline said "Casey's batting 20,000". My name is Casey.

So far as fame goes it's pretty well gone downhill since then.

Where it asked sex, I replied "Yes".

OK. I was reading the thread and held off responding...until I read this...

I can not even imagine what that was like. I really don't even know what to say other than I want you to know how much your post means to me.

All right!

I farted in red square right in front of Lenins tomb , ........ twice.

Its weird how freaking cows on the loose always head to town. Unreal.

They're herd animals.

Darn. I didnt know you were a Texican. How was the Afreaken one compared to the Antarctic one?
