Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

I saw one in the grand forks herald classifieds just last week. See if you can find an old paper.

It was cheap too.

like 300-ish?

There are 65 Winchester Model 88's for sale right now at Gunbroker.com.

Stan in SC

well there ya go lol!!

I made timber chicken soup with veggies and egg noodles.

Holy wow that's good stuff! The kids about cleaned it all up! lol!!

the 100's had some sort of firing pin issue. If you bought it from a dealer, I would think that would be fixed before it left the shop. PM Redneck on the fire here. He knows a fair amount about them.

We'll have more this weekend.

If we get a crew out, on foot, on wheelers, in cars, and hit the woods...we got a shot at a hellova timber chicken soup pot.

jeesh we got a lot of rain the last few days. We're supposed to have up to 3" between Wednesdan night and Friday morning.

farmers need to get the crops off, we need a bit of dry weather for them.

Catching up on the camp Dave
after reading the ChicknBuck thread!

Our "cabin" was a frame house, only 10 X 12 feet or so
with NO inner walls LOL
A wood stove and some bunk beds.

We eventually ran power to it ( 200 yds off a farm road in Ashtabula County Oh )

At the time ( 60's on ) one could shoot a rifle in any direction.

So many good times there

its drizzling here this morning, I heard the eastern part of the state is gonna get pounded, we're supposed to get a little less than an inch from what I hear

Our camp on the MN iron range was about 16X20 with a wood stove, gas lights, bunks on one end, a table, cook stove and a gun rack.

No interior walls in that one either, lots of fond memories of that camp.

The weather is supposed to be good for the weekend, chin up chickenbuckaroos. I'll stage the ford at the mud hole to drag the lesser brands into camp if need be

an hour south of here, Like Lakeville, farmington, got hammered last night.

Are you coming up?

Yeah T my friend in Nodak has the 100 and never had an issue but once i read about it she sent it in.

Talk one tough german lady. She was hunting with one of her brothers down around Linton and Strasburg, they were walking along a frozen lake when they heard a shot. She said her brother grabbed her arm and said I'm dead. He then fell, someone fired a round and it ricocheted off the lake and struck him.

She stayed with him while he passed and then walked out to the truck to get help. She led the EMS folks back to the scene and helped to carry him out then wouldnt LEO's tell her mom what happened saying it was her job.

They located the bullet ricochet mark on the ice and tried to backtrack the shot but were unsuccessful. She never quit hunting even after all that. Her ex husband was a butcher in Bismarck and she can cut up a deer like a Hibachi chef, she outwalks all of the guys, goes thru the thickest brush, and can drink schnapps like water.

One hell of a lady.

Sounds like my Grandma.

I've just been told that I need to practice my juggling because "The Cat in the Hat" can juggle a lot and I can't.

Replace pins and balls with long neck bottles guaranteed to improve your skills

I'd sure love to make it, my folks are flying up saturday at noon for the funeral on monday. I have a meeting friday at 7-8 so technically I could make it up for about an hour or two before going to fargo to pick up the folks but its not practical. I was really looking forward to seeing everyone. it will do my boy and I good to see my folks and brother and sis in law this weekend. shoot a grouse and have a beer for me.

Dave I got the pic frame in the mail yesterday, I hope it gets there friday so you can use it and see if it works. its not a big screen on it, bigger than a digital camera anyway.

Sounds like you'll be a busy man. I'll do my best to get a bird for you. I'll have a beer or two for ya too.

I guess I will too, if I have to.

Dude, I need the recipe !!

Still got 5 double breasts in the meat keeper.

Paul.

I will tip at hat for you too. Take care Ryan and be safe on the roads in your travels. the weather in the woods is suppose to be balmy and bright! got to love bird watching in the fall, seeing them tip over at the sight of lead!
