Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Went to town and rolled out the Trade Blanket....

There's still much land down here in your old state of Va that I could put you and your son on--Consider the invitation open.Our 2 week muzzleloader season before rifle falls right in the rut. Are muzzleloaders of interest in your state? Rifle here starts the week of Thanksgiving as you might remember and runs till the first few days of January. keep that in your thoughts in case you and your people find yourself on a road trip yo your old stomping grounds.

I've hunted a bunch down around West Point, Gloucester, Mathews and Saluda, north of Williamsburg with the dogs. Lived and hunted though in the south west..Pulaski, Carroll, Montgomery and Floyd Counties. A little bit in Giles County....

Would be a treat to hunt in Northern Va so I appreciate the offer.

The boy was pizzed when we moved cause he knew he could kill deer in Va a lot sooner than he can here. He can't hunt deer with this rifle until he's 16. That sucks but he's got lottsa practice time to get good whackin' other stuff. I'd like to get him other places that will allow him to hunt deer between 12 and 16...gonna have to look into it.....

To add...on the muzzleloader thing...

I'm doin' my best to introduce the virtues of an early muzzleloader season to these folks. We've a late ML season which I dig cause it's way cold/snowy and way not crowded in the woods.

ML's seem to be just a way for a few to extend their season....

Wow, now I'm mad at myself for not staying on last nite!! Excellent job Roy!! Tell Jon that I expect he'll be cutting the X verrry quickly! How do ya figger to get him out of the woods now????

Roy--I'm sure your aware and Know your son can rifle hunt in Va as long as he is accompanied by a licensed adult hunter. Just FYI.

Your littlest one can hunt in Texas as long as she's with you...
Texas ain't so restrictive when it comes to hunting... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />..

Now that's what I'm talkin' about...

Road trip anyone..?

Got a range report to make as soon as I upload the pics.

It was magical......

Excellent!

I'll let the pics speak for themselves, gotta say it was a good day....


40 empty hulls and a big grin on his face...all I did was halfazz bore sight it, fired one hit the paper shot, turned dials, fired another shot and a confirmation shot. Then fired a five shot group to see what it could do....


Turned him loose with the remainder of ammo....


The kid was calling his shots on the water jugs and empty spray cans...Kool.







The boys best...not too darn shabby.



I shot this five shot group...flyers do suck...(grin)

Looks like he's havin' a little trouble not smilin' for that pic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> That looks to be one happy young man, and probably a proud daddy too. Shootin' like that might just get the job done.

Bring that young man and his rifle on down here to Texas. We don't have age restrictions here as long as he is with you and we have lots of deer that need killing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

mtnman1....

He's got this thing about shootin' the Campfire Face as best he can...

Can't figure where he gets that...(grin)

I am mighty proud of this lad...no doubt about it.

Droptine...

I've heard rumors of that...

Bart is determined to get us down there next year...he almost got it done this year.

The boy and I are lookin' forward to it....

i'm thinking that'll do for a rifle.
and that boy has a major pair of eyebrows, to boot.

I am kinda jealous of the rifle...

And his looks........

Heck, you other guys ('ceptin' Bart and Southern Tier) haven't had the pleasure of meeting Jon or Matt. Those guys are a pleasure to hang out with in the woods! Roy is doing one helluva job!!
