Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire August 2014 SW Gathering at Armijo Springs near Quemado, NM

Good, that one is probably a better choice than mine for the young lass, as the 1915's original stock is probably too long for her, designed as they were for ~10 year old boys. The ejector on mine is also too fussy to give a youngster. And needs to go to Cross for repair

Dear Thomas: Kindly post a photo of your .223 AI.

Dear Paul: Sure thing, but that is neither pink nor paint. It's gelcoat over fiberglass. Specifically orange, yellow, red, and dark blue.

Er, yes - as said - you haven't yet painted a gun pink. But, how did you manage to limit yourself to just those 4 mild shades?

Well its does take restraint PW.
Wait until you see the next one I planned...

I think I can tolerate seeing a pink gun (at least with a girl shooting it). Now zombie green drives me up a tree

I'm speechless with all the generosity of my friends, I was hoping for a handmedown as a starter and appreciate all offers. Thanks amigos, looks like a made for campfire thread coming in the future.

Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests Implements Stage II Fire Restrictions Friday, May 23

Springerville, AZ; May 21, 2014�To protect public health and safety due to increasing fire danger, the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests (ASNFs) will implement Stage II fire restrictions effective Friday, May 23, at 8 a.m. These additional fire restrictions will remain in effect until forest officials determine that conditions have changed sufficiently to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfire. No campfires are allowed until Stage II fire restrictions are lifted.



Stage II fire restrictions prohibit the following:

1. Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, charcoal, coal, or stove fire except for devices fueled solely by liquid petroleum or LPG fuels that can be turned on and off. Such devices can only be used in an area that is barren or cleared of all overhead and surrounding flammable materials within three feet of the device.

2. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building.

3. Using an explosive.

4. Possessing, discharging or using any type of firework or pyrotechnic device.

5. Operating a chainsaw or any equipment powered by an internal combustion engine from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

6. Welding or operating acetylene or other torches with an open flame.

7. Operating or using any internal or external combustion engines without a spark arresting device.

8. Possessing or using a motor vehicle off National Forest System roads, except when parking in an area devoid of vegetation within 10 feet of the roadway or parking overnight in Forest Service developed campgrounds and trailheads.



To report a fire, call 911.



The ASNFs coordinate weekly with federal, state, and tribal land management agencies and counties, cities, and towns in the White Mountains to determine what level of fire restrictions or closures may be necessary. Criteria used to determine whether to implement fire restrictions include weather, fuel moisture, fire activity, and available firefighting resources. There are also important components of risk management and the professional judgment of fire managers and line officers.



Community concerns are always considered. We are hearing a range of opinions and comments from local community members and visitors. We aim to be responsive to community concerns and to try to allow for safe and reasonable use of the forests. This is often a difficult and delicate balance. In addition to increasing fire restrictions, additional law enforcement officers will be on duty for the next two weeks.

Well since scoundrels and such are apparently welcome. I believe i will participate and help in any way possible. And i will bring way more than a hammock. Lemme know what i can do.

For the rest of you folks who have never met this young gentleman, I give you Alan, Oldman2003's son.

He was at the East Texas Gathering, helping his folks with that scrumptious crawfish boil.

Ed

Alan!!! Glad to see you are going to try to make it!!! We will have a great time!!! Again!!

A fellow blackguard,

Bob

My good man that sounds absolutely capital !!!!!!! Let it be done.

Prayers requested. I have my wife about 49% convinced we should take about five days and drive down, spent time at the get together, maybe swing over to Phoenix to see friends there, then head to San Diego to see our son and DIL. Maybe back roads whenever possible and make it a three week trip. Could bring my guns and ammo without hassle and just enjoy the sights.

Scott, did you tell your wife how all the women get breakfast in bed and wine and chocolate in the evenings at Quemado?
