Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's something you've done that almost nobody else has ever done?

I think you have me confused with someone else.

If that's the case, then I apologize.


Added:

I think you're right, I'm an ass.

No worries.

Yes, you are. I'm the guy who has been trying to show you the proper path to follow, you donkey. Now GO TO SLEEP already, and dream about squid or something...

I haven't read 18 pages of notes...yet. But I will.

Having said that, things I have done that most haven't?

1. Motorcycles: Dragged a knee at racetracks on my motorcycle. Rode my motorcycle 2,450 miles from Huntington Beach CA to Jacksonville Beach Florida...in 44 hours, 41 minutes. Have done 10+ 1,000 mile days.... Rode to Prudhoe Bay, lapped the Maritimes including Labrador and Newfoundland.

2. Hunted. We could stop there and call it a day with where I live. I digress. Alaska three times, Africa twice. Texas forever it seems...but 10 years.

3. Married once. And while I'm still a pup by some circles, they have been a blessed 13 years.

But most of all, and I share this alone...and with each of you:

I was born once, unique, and my own. Pretty sure not one of you is me!

It's a pleasure to be on this board. Peace.

Visual Military Training route (VR) that ends at the Salton Sea in SoCal. You have to go considerably below route structure to see -200 on the altimeter but it can be done when you're young and immortal (and dumb) and think stuff like that is fun.

It took a while, but I went and read all the posts on this thread. A number of posters bragged about their sexual exploits, but HonestJohn was the only one to give a detailed report on his, and admit that he was married when he did it. I call myself a Christian, and will be the first one to tell you that I have to work very hard at being one, and still feel that I come up short a lot. I don't condone one cheating on one's spouse, partly from a trust issue, and partly from the fact that it goes against God's law. But I also believe that we can be forgiven of our sins, and it seems to me that John had realized his mistake and hopefully has repented his sins. As far his giving us a more detailed description of his experience than the others, I rather enjoyed the story, even if I didn't agree with what he was doing.....providing he actually did it, and didn't just dream it up.

I have roped steers , bareback..in a pinch and remuda(broke) horses too. Steers are a problem unless you can throw your coils to a nearby rider or jump off and tie to a handy tree. Many have done this but I thought it was worth mentioning. To old these days for these athletics.Cheers

HOLY CRAP! With kamo Gari's stories and the devout christian adulterers I am thinking I picked one hell of a day to quit taking acid.

This is w/out doubt the world's best website.

I have survived a pancoast tumor for almost 6 years. I saw a hen woodcock fly off carrying her young chick. She flew a few yards and set it down. Then she came back and did the same thing with another chick.

I think I've done something not yet listed in this thread.

I've survived being struck by lightning (already listed).

But have any of you ever been bitten by a whitetail buck? I have. Ground blind. He walked up and stuck his head in the window. My left hand was resting on the bottom edge of the window. I diverted my attention to my right, preparing to reach slowly for my bow. The sucker chose that moment to bite the hell out of my left index finger. I was obviously not expecting that and in a raised voice said "Godamighty!", wringing my hand. He naturally turned inside out getting out of there. Dang thing hurt...

It's only just begun!

Bit by copperhead twice! Sucked

Go ahead and laugh...he was a man eater I tell ya!

ha.

I'm not a golfer but that's KOOL beans.

I stood less than 2 feet from a female grizzly with 2 cubs, with no rifle and just an Old Timer pocket knife in my pocket for self defense and got away without a scratch.

Survived a creek ride on my old Suzuki 4 wheeler, twice, while riding up the Ferry Trail. The 2nd time it flipped over with me under it and it snapped the stock on my rifle at the grip. I managed to get out from under it and pulled it back on shore into the trees. Next morning my pard and I were camped 100 yards from the creek, walked down to retrieve my machine and 3 hunters on wheelers had pulled it across for me. One had a huge caribou bull skull w/antlers strapped on his meat trailer, I asked him where he got it and he told me he found it 5 feet from my machine, buried under a mound of dirt, leaves, and bear scat. It was so dark the night before I had no idea that caribou was buried there.

Lost my wedding ring in the Copper River while dipping for reds, good thing I had caught my limit of 25, otherwise the pain from losing that ring would have been unbearable.

Ate dog at a party in the Philippines and had no idea it was dog until one of the party hosts brought out the skull afterwards. It was good but I'll never eat it again if I can help it.

Came face to face with a huge banana spider while golfing on Okinawa. It had a web stretched out between 2 palm trees and I almost walked right into it trying to find a lost golf ball.

In high school I got so nervous/amped for swimming anchor on a 200 yard medley relay I left my goggles on my forehead (forgot to put them over my eyes). Didn't notice until after the exchange and I was in the water and opened my eyes. Got another adrenaline boost from that realization and somehow managed to nail the flip turn and despite running into the lane line when I came up on the second lap, managed to touch out Guilford's guy, we won the relay and proceeded to the state meet. I'll never forget opening my eyes underwater and wondering WTF happened. No one knew/noticed anything until I told them afterward.
