Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire UPDATE - Shrapnel

Damn now there is a gun I’d never figure shrapnel to be ground sluicing with

Too bad the ghosts that haunt you wont let you do the same.

So, what has your mortal enemy Sal done that eats away under your skin.

Come on, get you some real nightmares. Tell Rick Bin to cash it in and skip to sunny Florida.

Looks like Schrap's photo from years ago. RZ.

Or........it can include 'drive' hunts with firearms.

Setting up tree stands and ground blinds....for every wind direction.......pre-rut/post-rut......travel intersections........perennial scrape locations. Lots of walking hunters to stands.

The most time consuming is trail marking with reflectors and ribbon. Works great til an overachiever forgets his flashlight and gets lost in the dark.

You would be surprised how many hunters pay little attention to wind direction when selecting a bow stand. Hint: weather radio.....online weather sites.

Many southern hunters get stuck on hunting acorn ridges.

Western hunters often get lost.......discussing directions (NSEW) gets you a deer in headlights looks, many times. No sun reference capability whatsoever.

East coasters......Always something wrong. Screw the hunting partners, too.

We had a guy sight in his new bow in the headlights....night before he was supposed to hunt.

Enough material to write an entertaining book. Lots of experts.....can usually tell first 30 minutes.

Generalizing, always exceptions.

When in Rome.....do as the Romans do.

If they listen throughout the week.......they stand a good chance at opportunity.

Many P&Y......few B&C.

Timberghost opened a year after we did. They border our property. We are fair chase......they have high fences.

Pat Deblasio had the #55 archery off my property, bordering Case Proving Grounds......but that has been a few years ago....likely down list now.

Please tell your friend.

Lots of work. Definitely different than what the West guides do. Good luck this season.

Thanks......

Springcove, you and me and Sal just dont cut the fugging mustard. We dont take money from nimrod greenhorn city slickers and get them a critter to put on their wall to show other city slickers how great they are at hunting.

Well, Fugk us losers.

"Oh, my aching c.unt!!!"

Its not where you live that makes everyone hate you, its the perpetual menstruation thats off putting. Damned if being on the rag 24/7 isn't common on the west coast though.

Jag I have never hunted Whitetails and was just trying to bring some levity to the conversation. Those guys put in a lot of work and it’s definitely different hunting than I do. I have a friend who’s a guide in Idaho and it’s all pack horses and remote camps.

Happy hunting season. It’s the best time of the year...

#AmIRight?

good looking moose! that being said..... who gives a rats shiny a-- whether the man hiked ten miles in his underware to tie a rope and drag it out by his daddy bag, or whether he shot it from his back porch, or whether he beat it to death with the last noodle on his spaghetti plate. deflave take two Midol and call it a night.callin everyone loosers isnt the best opening. again great pic and congratulations on it! just because someone doesn't do things the way you do it doesn't mean they are undeserving or less than.....a strait shot is a strait shot.

Whadda mess...


Bottom line, Shrap has lost his log-in.

Duck911,

As Clarke was the OP of this thread it was intended from the start to be a chit show complete with ball bustin and azzhats.

Possibly Lighten Up?

One time....during first season shotgun, had a New York hunter with a very fancy and little-used scoped, rifled shotgun. 2 New Yorkers in camp.

Towards the end of their hunt.....we planned a push.

I got the map out and directed them to standing locations......but also mentioned walking around a pond in the middle of a 60 acre field, on the way.

Nice shotgun guy asked why? I mentioned jumping many deer around the pond saplings.....bucks liking to bed there.

Guy asked how nice? I said I jumped a 130 there....he quickly informed me he was looking for a 160 or better.

I asked that they please humor me......they didn't want to.

Both hunters unloaded their shotguns on a 190+.....saplings by pond.

Nice shotgun 'banker' guy got sick.......but they went to the standing spots anyway. His partner shot a 162 on that drive.

Found both sheds for the 190 next spring. Jersey hunter got him next year....bow.

When in Rome......

Western hunters hunt.
Eastern hunters shoot.

I wonce chot a dear wid hemorrhoids.

Shrap called me shortly after the moose-tag drawing last summer, saying he'd put in for an area he knew well but had drawn for another he'd never even seen--or applied for.

This happened to more than a few people, with various kinds of big game this year, due to the suddenly introduced, so-called all online "system" of Montana FWP. My wife's application is an example. All of her applications got thrown out because of a computer glitch that decided she's "active military." (On the other hand, she's the only person I've actually know besides Shrapnel to draw two Montana moose tags--and her second was for an antlerless moose, not a another bull.)

But instead of whining Shrap went scouting, in an area a 150-mile drive from his home. He found some nice moose in the area he'd never seen before, and killed a good bull. I don't know the particulars of this moose, but he worked for it.

On the rare occasions I visit this part of the Campfire anymore, it's always interesting that some of the same people keep making know-it-all posts about things they know nothing about.

Well said on Shrap.

Wasnt John Steinbeck queer?

"People " dont hate me...trolls do.
If you let people beat on you you..you are a puzzxy.
If you defend yourself you are thin skinned.
This is the way of the internet passive aggressive.

Are those Tupac's lyrics?
