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

Gunner

Well, truth told, I did ugly one unconscious, but I turned my gaze away before killing that second hog.

Hey Gunner, over on the hog shooting video thread, I asked the guys what make of weaponry you had brought and someone said Verney-Carrons. The 500 I guessed to be a Merkel but that lovely 303 all I could make out was "London-Calcutta" on one of the barrels. Is it a Manton? How about your 577 & 8 Bore? Inquiring Double Rifle KOOK wants to know!

You're only going to break your heart.

Well aint this some shiit, these pics tell it all. What a group of true hard core hunters out there killing them pigs in the fence they roam in, over piles of corn. That must have been difficult as hell especially the fella that was pictured sneaking up on them during their nap time, what a ass. I bet it was about like walking up and killing wilbur from charlottes web, i tell you, you guys should get yall one of them hunting shows. And to think 40 people paid $600 a piece, tell me ole boy wasnt laughing his ass off all the way to the bank. I am sure it was one hell of a time all you [bleep] in one spot at the same time drinking your high class brew and telling lies. Real hunters, give me a [bleep] break. Bout like shooting fish out of a barrell. Did you all get to go down to a barn and pick out tje one you wanted to shoot(notice i didnt say hunt) and have them turn it out before you headed into the woods holding hands and singing kum ba yah? Next year maybe step out a little and try something like fishing in fountain at the mall.

It's not a hunt, it's a social kill, thought you were gonna stop by and visit.

Bob's smile gets better and better every time he flashes it...

Think he's a skeered, bud...

Didnt have me no gas money, plus my little toyota truck aint running too damn good. Plus i had pizzas to make.

Was a pleasure to finally get to shake your hand, my friend. I only wish I had more time to play with your boomsticks.

The pleasure was all mine HAJ.

Suspect that would have resulted in another video that can't be posted to the fire.

You are right again oh wise one , that "F" looks good on ya.

Gunner

I'd come to one of these shindigs, if the catman would. I'd volunteer to turpentine the cat's azz, too....

You should come just in case he does...

It was a social get together, an excuse to meet other guys on the forum. , the hogs was just some pork to take home for the table. No, it isn't real hunting , it was just a pig shoot to try out some new loads. The food, the shooting on the range, trying out new rifles and handguns was worth the trip, better than you sitting at home playing with yourself. You really think we believe this is real hunting, what a dumb ass post you just made. I don't know if you know this but the only way you can shoot hogs in TN now is in a fenced in Hog Preserve, they now are classified in TN the same as coyotes and ONLY LAND OWNERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO SHOOT THEM or poison them whichever he chooses . They are no longer on the Big Game list here . You shoot them this way or no way. Nobody wants them , they want them totally eradicated any way possible.

Just the same as going to the sale barn and picking out a hog for the freezer, cept we get to shoot 'em here, then haul 'em down to the processor.

Just wanted to say to those who were there how much I appreciate and enjoy my time with this great group of people. Last year, I was mostly a stranger to you. This year I was greeted as an old friend, and I can�t tell you how much that means to me. As one of the more senior members, I probably spent more of my conversational time with the older guys than with the younger. And I know I hardly talked at all to a handful of you, though that was entirely by accident. (HAJ, I was very pleased to meet you, though we didn�t get a chance to chat. My fault, and I was as delighted as any to see what a great time your lovely wife was having.) And some of you A-type personalities may have got more of my attention than others because you�re A-type personalities, but some of you quieter guys (and you know who you are) are equally well worth knowing, too.

I certainly hope to be able to meet up with some of you at other times of the year, and I pledge to make more of an effort to see that happen. My heartfelt thanks to the core group of guys who put this together each year. Steve, Bob and Pat are right there at the center of things, but there were others who put in extra effort to make things go smoothly for the rest of us, too. Steve, especially, deserves a place in heaven. First one there, I think, and I know he was the last one to leave, making sure everything was squared away.

I came home a happier and more serene person. That won�t last, of course, but I�m feeling pretty good right now, ,and I�ve got a fine eating-pig in my freezer. Thanks, all of you guys.
