Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire This Is Me

I'm right there with you.

Couple friends of my dad's got beat up years ago by a couple old pot bellied geezers.

They both admitted they had never been whipped so quickly. Turns out old timers have to get a lot of fighting done in a very short amount of time....otherwise they run out of air.


I have always remembered that lesson.

Jim, you make me remember the hand, to hand combat training in the army. Two I remember are, jamming the nose into the brain, and stomping the arch of the foot with a combat boot, breaking as many as twenty plus bones. I'm old, and sadly out of shape, I don't how I might react if pushed.

I'm picturing the "fight" in "Second-Hand Lions".

I like that!

being in the old fat geezer category , i will not fight. i might kill but i won't fight.

I dont think so.

I guess the real ones are much more violent and take way less time.

A punch to the larynx should work also. A bit slower than driving nose bones into the brain. Depends on mean you are feeling and opportunity, I suppose.

I can't/won't stand and fist fight any more but I'll gladly knee cap ya with the pick axe handle I keep handy.

Dad told me that way back when i was a spike buck, "you boys dont be out fu-kin around with old men, they'll kill you if they can"

I know damn well he was right now that I am one ;]

Aman brother, us old geezers don't mess around.

I have not forgot the male fist to the temple, but I think I'd start with the boot to the foot. That would be if I had no weapon, that is.

BS. Old farts mess all over the place. You ever hear of sharts?

I think many of us fit that category

The last last words I expect to hear from someone fugging with me are 'No fair'

I kinda think I might be at that point.

I guess I'll know for sure if somebody comes in on me. I don't want any trouble,..in fact, I don't really want any visitors except family and a very few close friends.

I moved out here in the sticks to get away from azzholes.

It's been a lot of trouble and expense. I don't think I'd take it real well if some azzholes chose to follow me here.

Guilty as charged. Make note of that.

Here buddy, fight my 115 grain, 1150 fps wingman if you can...

The last dust-up I was in was with a 28 year old punk -
I was sitting on top of him when the po-po got here. Cop asks "Did you hit him?" Response "No, I was cocked, then realized that would turn it into a fight, instead of an assault."
"Good thinking" was the reply - as they led him off in S&W bracelets.

I believe that is the only time I've been accused of "good thinking" Oh - and I was 58 at the time.
