Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Campfire get together in Quemado NM

The "vanishing" elk....
I stopped counting at roughly 170.
Others who went out didn't see any(old eyes )

Hey look more elk...

Had a great time guys! Thanks for the great company! I was able to come home and get plenty of sleep for the night ahead!

John you are a great guy, and have a great sense of humor...
You have to around these guys.

Nice shootin' kid. Can't wait to see you smoke a sheep with that 6' long flintlock.

There've been elk in my front yard (in town!). I didn't see 'em � they left their "calling cards." I've seen antelope in town, too.

and more elk

More gratuitous elk shots for those who doubted this a.m.
(darby).....

The MOST unfortunate event of the weekend was a fellow who shall remain nameless catching "the gay"
Pink flannel

Choice of footwear

...sorry man they put me up to it.

On the way out from the lake

I thought you were a good guy, Tom. The ladys happen to love that shirt.

He is a good guy, just a little devious!

Maybe a tad....
John I was just grateful to have a new and younger guy for these old buzzards to bust balls on!

Man, I wish I had been able to come! I will certainly make next year's gathering a top priority!

Thanks for sharing the pictures and the notes!

Tom
Joe
Ken
Paul
Ben
Gary
Dennis
Ron


New friends...

Kelly and his great family
Jim
Rick

and last but not least... a young service man that took the initiative to come down and hang out with old codgers he had never met before. He's got the makings and desire to be a top hunter/shooter... It was an absolute pleasure meeting you Jon... Gay footy things or not...

Thanks guys and gals, hope to see you all again...

I wasn't gonna say anything about those � struck speechless at the time and of course courteous by nature. But now I gotta add that I can't imagine the weird flights of insane imagination that led somebody to design such weird stuff �

� let alone anybody who'd manufacture and market 'em �

� and least of all anybody who'd wear 'em � even in private � let alone where anybody (especially real men) could see.

They remind me of those old paintings that show men of those days wearing fancy tailored pants with exterior pouches for their penises and scrotums. (Is that going to be the next modern style break-through?)

I wear disposable diapers � but I've got good, legitimate though regrettable and irremediable reasons , and I don't flaunt 'em.

Jon, I'm happy that your weird footy things didn't prove to be accurate indications of just who you are! Further proof that Dad was right � "no single characteristic of a person is the totality of that person." Glad to include you in our bunch! (I was delighted to see how quickly, easily, warmly, and totally our crowd of old farts included you as one of us.)

Thanks for that lovely summary, Dr. Howell.

Man, what good folks and good fun!

I also have photos and will post & share a bit later. I arrived home safely, put away the guns and got some sleep.

This sort of enjoyment and fellowship should not have to wait 12 months for the first re-enactment. Obviously, we won't have to twist any arms on the attendees, but there were others who couldn't make it this time.

It could get bigger and better, but this Quemado Gathering I (QG I) has set the bar pretty high.

Muchas gracias, amigos!

Sure glad Y'all had such a good meet, great pictures of Ken, good to see him out in the daylight!

Thanks again guys! At work last night i was talking to my co-workers and got to listen about how they got to the next 'level' in Call of Duty or World of Warcraft. I felt honored while telling them my story about camping in gods country with a wealth of outdoors/gun knowledge, as i sat, soaking it up like a sponge. These people are, of course, the same airmen from all over the country that bitch and moan about Albuquerque and how bad it is but have never made it out of Bernelillo County.... they dont know what they're missing.

And BTW....I just got done going for a run in 'gay foot things'.... they sure are comfortable!

I'll be camped out in the middle of the woods somewhere in that area from 21 Oct to 3 Nov.... if anyone is up for a little get together then, I'm down! Plus, some of you guys seem alot better at spotting game than me!

Dennis, I'm enjoying one of those Kilt Lifter's that you gave me now, they sure are good! The neighbors sure do look at you wierd when you have one at 0800 though!
