Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rosie Died...I want to join her

All of this before I called you anything.






I did call you a "pussy" and a "fuucking moron" after that...because that's what you were being.



Still calling names...on something you disagree with. Sounds pathetic to me. But you go on and keep watching my ass.

Go behind the house and find your safe space, chill out and get over it. I know I will.

Yes! Pard this is what I’m talking about! Everyone on here needs to drink a coke.

What do you mean nobody supports his point of view?

Isn’t Bruce somewhere in his twilight years? Maybe 70’s? Idk for certain his age, but if Bruce is older. I’m giving him a pass on this horrible and unfortunate situation.

While I agree with some, who found it easy to pick apart the event, at least on his posted, emotional reaction about losing his hunting dog.

I don’t need to imagine what grief he and his wife were feeling over their loss of Rosie. We lost a GSP, named Zeek when I was a kid hunting upland bird. Zeek’s, remains were found weeks later by a rancher.

To me, some were trying to reconcile what the fûcked happend and what equipment may have prevented the event from happening.

Ribka, was extremely pissed at Bruce for not having Rosie outfitted with the available e and gps collars that may have prevented this situation. To me was understandable.

It was obvious, Ribka, was hurting more about the dog’s suffering to her end. I imagine none of us missed that most important part of the story.

Rib, gave solid information on how to minimize this situation with future hunting dogs. Which could’ve been Ribka’s full stop. His part and others about Bruce not scaling down the cliff, walking around the mountain, then working his way up from the bottom, or making no attempt to find someone local who could climb was, too me, not necessary. Especially, if Bruce is older. What a younger hunter, in better shape, would’ve, could’ve done doesn’t mean anything. It was Bruce on the cliff. Not anyone else.

Aside from Ribka, the other comedic value offered by some, who found an opportunity to tag Bruce because he went from a loss, then to a ‘absolute’ of never hunting again, then to the acceptance from a member kindly offering up a new puppy seemed petty and ass-hole-ish. Yeah, yeah, I see the drama value. But, so what?

The inferences made about the generosity of the puppy coming from a backyard breeder was deserving of a GFY. SMFH on that one.

Lastly, the correlation that Bruce’s integrity is suspect and aligned with the likes of a few other former members who are known POS was just absurd.

Carry on.

I don't know Bruce personally, other than from here & sharing pupper pics & some comments back & forth.

My sense, of the fella, is that he is a man of integrity & a sage of the campfire. Loves his dogs, family, friends & Country.

Others here, that personally know & have shared hunts with Bruce & Rosie & have spoken in his defense, do nothing but confirm my belief.

Bruce, I'd share a fire, stories, a can & a camp meal with you, anytime !

R.I.P. Rosie, good girl, good girl !

"HEY, BRUCE MY BOY!! Watch this!!!!!!!!!!"

(10 minutes later)

"Bruce? Bruuuuuce... Hey Bruce!!!!!"



LOL

Pard don’t ph uck up this feel good thread

Flave would have never ended up in this predicament.... he would have drove dog to the hills, shot dog, kicked it over the edge, drove home.... told wife and kids dog run off.....
Looked everywhere couldn't find the dog... told kids stop whining, go climb a tree and fetch him a coconut.... grab a sixer of IPA ... fire up the puter.... log onto the campfire and call everyone dumfuggs.... did I miss anything?

I've hunted a lot of places with lots of birds, and done it with a lot of dogs and a lot of people.

I've yet to see a dog nose dive off a cliff after a flushed bird.

But if I ever did I'm sure we would have brought our wife back the next day to hear its last cries echo throughout the ravine.

LOL

Okay, this gets chalk up to laughter is the best medicine when feeling down.


Too soon, maybe?


But FAF!

What do I have to feel down about?

Holy Christ!

"Hey Bruce My Man, any chance that 20 year old grandson of yours could maybe hoof his fugkin' ass down here and lend this ol' girl a hand?"

"Bruce...Bruce...?"

Yep.

Flave...shouldn't you be out poisoning the well at the orphans home or something tonight?


Dang pard.
