Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2013 24HOURCAMPFIRE HOG HUNT

Well this wuz a fun escapade. FINALLY got to meet a few fellas I have been wanting to meet and a Gurl who ain't out of place with a bunch of heathens. Still tryin' to find out who paid Corey to kill the New York guys

One of my only regrets was not getting a chance to spend more time with you, Jim. It was an honor to finally get to shake your hand.

Fun replies and pictures so far. Sheridan/Rattler is taking a turn at the wheel for a bit so I thought I would get on line and say hello. We are all three glad we made the trip. The food was just AMAZING, and the company and comeraderie even better. Wish I had the energy to stay awake all day and hang out for all of the shooting and such everyday, but I had a terrific time all the way around.

I will post some pictures when I have a chance. I have some really good ones of downtown Nashville.

Sherri is talking about what kind of a gathering or event we could possibly put together to draw you folks out to OUR part of the US. She now understands a little more about how the 24hrcf is so much more than just a chatroom for rednecks and other 'ner do wells. Much more of a community of friends.

Deepest possible thanks to those who went out of thier way to greet her and spend time talking to her while we were there.

And, there is a change in the air! Before this trip, Sherri had no interest in killing anything other than a bad guy / intruder in our home. Now, she says she wants to try to kill a Crocodile if I can get us back over to Africa once more. I am sensing (fearing?) that my Brno ZKW465 mini mauser in 22K Hornet is the next of my firearms liable to get "Requisitioned" for use by the prettier half of this duo, since semi auto's like the SU-16 Sherri likes so much and shoots well (when the sights work!) cannot be taken into African countries.

Heather, WELCOME to the fire! I am so sorry that the reflex sight on that SU-16 we loaned you chose to fail so miserably at the exact moment you needed it! It was dead on the money before we left home, but later that day, after it caused you to miss your piggie, I could not get it on the paper even at SEVEN lousy yards, no matter how much turning we did on the adjustment knobs! Mechanical stuff can fail, and miserably, at the exact wrong time just like the extractor on the G-20 did this weekend for another member, Glocks of any fashion being normally an uberelaible firearm.

Almost ready to stop for the night in Kansas City, so ver and out for now I think.

Man, what a grand time was had by all.

Ya gotta be careful just how much time you spend near Jim and Sharpsshooter. They'll have ya dreaming of 45 this and 45 that. grin

Hell man all anyone needs do is walk up and start jawin'!! This hunt busted the Laff meter!! [bleep] is insane Overkill got the contract to plow the clay fields and Gunner wid the 8 bore hunting load got the Rock and Roll award! Let go 2 wid the 500 nitro and 1 wid the 577 N.E myself. I LIKE it!! Bill Bagwell was the spell binder. The Disciplinary Barracks hit new lows!!!!!! ScopeBite416, GLAD to see ya wid us!! HAJ, you and Heather and yer Cub are welcome in my hunting camp anytime yez get lost enuff to find it CT,Mac84 and everyone else from Disciplinary, thanks fer making this trip the funnest and funniest ever!!!

I now have a special affinity for peach and hot apple pie. I can't believe how good that "koolaid" was.

i felt like i was in game of thrones or some other medevil world

Ain't I havin' enuff trouble teachin' ya how to hit sumpthin wid dat mousegun of yers

it was gencide pig on pig crimes

Oh yeah! Scopebite416! Great to meet you and I am glad you decided to join us! I am sure glad I caught you before you fired that rifle the way you were leaning into it the FIRST time, over the back of the truck bed. That would have been a stitches job, fer sher!

I think that in the future I will remove the QD scope before others test fire that rifle. The barrel says 416 Rigby on it, but the handloads are much closer to 416 Weatherby in performance and recoil. Thaks for being a good sport about it.

Great cybername you have there.

I am not sure how I feel about my equipment being the catalyst for two new campfire handles..... <g> Not including Spear/Rockchuckers probable new handle.

Glad everyone liked it, I hated that I only had one jar of my cherry pie. Next year I will take orders early so I will know how much to bring and what flavor. I just brought the peach and apple hoping you good folks would like it and enjoy it. Going to probably try doing a mango and strawberry soon.

safariman/rattler, you guys going I70 to Denver? I'm an hour east of Denver if you need a break along there....

What I witnessed will scar me for life.

Thanks for the offer, but our route takes us through the bottom section of Wyoming instead. It sure would be great to meet up with you some time, somehow though.

It was good to meet you and your bride, Mark. Thanks again for the ride out of the field on Thursday.
Roll Tide

Thank goodness, my own PTSD doesn't leave room for any nightmares from this trip....

Youse guys be traveling the sno chi men trail then...

caught a barnes 200 tsx fired from the long colt will post pics. tomorrow.

my foot are killing me.

My friend your generosity knows no bounds! It was truly a blessing to meet you and Sherri. What a wonderful woman you have tricked into becoming your life mate.

No sweat on the SU-16, bud. It was really my fault as I knew that we should have taken it to the range first. Rule number one when handed a borrowed gun. It was an amateur hour mistake on my behalf.

A scope dinged up by long travels happen to us all. It's not the first time, and it won't be the last.

Please, please be safe on the road home. Heather and I really want an opportunity to hang out with you guys again. We're selfish like that!

Keith, you were one person that I mentioned by name that I wish had been able to make it.
