Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Thanks Rick

This is the only internet site I go to! And have made some Very good friends on here!

I like the 'Fire, it's a good place to hang out. Even learned a few things along the way.

Yup, this is definitely a very fun community to hang around at. I've met a few members in real life when I was younger and have spoken on the phone with quite a few members over the years. I only deer hunt down in TX once a year and sometimes skip a year, but rabbit hunting is my main thing and I've introduced all my hunting and fishing friends to this site. I know I'm kind of a paragon of controversy on the internet due to my pro First Amendment stances, so it's nice that Rick keeps this site going and keeps me and people like me around.

Thanks and God bless!

You guys made my day.

Thanks to you.

I have often said, the Fire would be a very lonely place without the members.

Carry on, gents ...

I enjoy this place every day.
Been here since 2005...17 years.
Seeing into your lives, sharing mine with you.
Thanks guys.

Thank you from me to Rick!

Your site is the BEST because you (IMO) value and understand that freedom of speech is not only necessary but also quintessential in a free society. Your founders would be very proud of you sir, especially in this day and age.

You are a gem!

With gratitude from Canada.

I agree whole heartedly. I am grateful that I stumbled across the Campfire 🔥 in Jan of '21. It's been a short time compared to many on here but everyday I look forward to unwinding with a glass of Sweet tea and The Fire.....

Thanks Rick.

+1 to all of the above. I've learned a lot here and had some good laughs and yes, vented and pissed and moaned a time or two.

Thank you, Rick.

Yup
Thanks Rick

Spot on Sam and it was a pleasure spending time with you last year.

Coffee anytime at Wabi's , come one come all.

Verified, in person, once again during the past two days. Wonderful moments and interaction.

Great place.

There are some really intelligent/savvy guys on the Fire from all walks of life. I have learned a bunch, made friends and have had flawless transactions throughout the years.
We are fortunate to have this space to share thoughts, ideas, rants etc.

Thanks RB

Of course he is Roger, but usually only to derelicts and Democrats! LOL Otherwise he's a pussycat.......LOL

Seriously, count me in with the group that has made lifelong great friends from the Fire.....even those I call "Brother!"

For instance, yesterday "Mannlicher" called me just to check on me to see how things are going in the new hood. The day before, I had a long drive to visit the nearest VA and another campfire brother went with me to keep me company and we met another campfire friend for lunch afterwards......that's the kind of connections this place can bring about!

I know I certainly feel blessed with all the friends I've made from here!


Frog----OUT!

Me, too. E

The general thrust of this topic is the primary reason why I try to stay tuned in. It can be decent exercise to tussle with some of those less than excellent, but the wealth of shared knowledge/experience and frequent good will are very rewarding. By far, the best gain has been the unusually excellent folks who have made the efforts necessary to join one another face to face out in nature at some lovely places. The camaraderie there and the great friends gained that way are palpable fruit of this site.

Have any ever noticed the nature of the those who eagerly get there as compared with those who avoid the experience?

To each his own, personally I feel like I should be getting paid.

Kinda reminds me of back when the 'Hunting and Fishing News' was a big publication.

They ran a monthly photo contest, best image won 2 rifles then there were a host of lesser prizes for 2nd, 3rd and so on.

I submitted regularly, most often my photos ran in their publications at one point or the other.

Then I hit the big time, I submitted some monster mulely photos with a great story and I took front page..

Them Basterds never even sent me a ball cap!

Last one if my photos they ever got, I doubt they ever did award anyone jack-schit for a submission. They just wanted free pics and stories.

At a minimum Rick outta be handing out tinfoil caps!

It's been a while...

Killroy Was Here

I was told early in my time here, like eating chicken wings, know when to spit out the bones.
