I guess I will just say hello. I check messages once in awhile and thought I might just see if there is anything good going on. I have missed quite a few guys and others not so much, but life has been good to me, how about you guys. Is Travis still posting?

Remember when Charleston Heston came off the mountain and was all grey?

That's what is about to happen.

To everyone.




Travis

By the way shrap, did you ever get that check I put in the mail? Last year.





Travis

Are you the guy that is gay for Mike Venturino?

Moderators now forbid guys from telling Safariman to f u c k o f f.


So - there's that.

There are still more posts about politics and religion than guns and hunting. You are missed, have you bagged a wolf yet?


mike r

I miss your posts about the Garands and pics.

Damn good to see you shrap!

n answer to your question yes, Travis posts now and then but that asswhole Dave is posting a lot........

How is the family doing?

Great to hear from you!

My bad, I saw Bozeman as location, so you must be Brad. That answers the gay question.

Its good to hear from you, and nothing has improved here or in the rest of the world.

There is great confusion under Heaven and the situation is excellent.

Shrapnel!

I didn't figure we'd see until you wore those new knees out. It's too soon for that.

We rarely see Travis, but Dave and Clark are still stirring the pot—although the soup my have gotten a bit thin.

Yes

Geno

Good to see a post from you shrapnel. You might as well come back full time.
How's the knee (or knees) doing?

Ken

We had a great laugh about Uranus when you were gone. Sorry.

Changes in life have made me appreciate better posts here.

Hey Shrap!

Glad to see you post buddy!

Bob

The Sako Sale was a huge hit....but how could it not be when you can get a pre-Garcia NIB for $350 OTD. 😉

Glad you’re doing well and I hope your hunting season has been productive.

Things are much the same here although a little less valuable with the loss of Crossfire. 😕

wow...

April Fool is still some months away, Shrap.

It's nice to see you post. You've been missed.

Hey, I remember you. I think.

I'd like to see the bugling video if you dont mind.

Good to see you back. Miss your great pictures and classic guns.

So Schrap, I guess the reports of your passing have been greatly exaggerated, huh?

We need some gun pics or we won't believe it's you!

Something ain’t right.

The Custer thread and LBH doesn’t draw you out and now this!?

Almost like it’s Halloween or somethin. What have you and Travis cooked up?

same ass holes still here, and a few of the decent folks. Thanks for stopping by.

C’mon now Sam. We gots some new ass holes here too.

Hello!

You're no longer new......You're just a good asswhole.

That means an awful lot!

Hey Shrap,,,,
Thanks for the info last yr about Yellowstone,the family had a blast.
We need more gun talk,and less call outs

Hey, it's the Poobah. Welcome back.

Howdy, Shrap.

The ole' grey mare ain't what she used to be.

You be the guy with nice looking old rifles. Keep the pics coming!

Glad you stopped by....

Yep, we is still here. Now n then for my part...

Good to finally hear you are OK, shrap. Several here have wondered and worried.

Ingwe is gonna have Rommel kick your ass!

Hey Shrap!

Are you in the market for a Savage M1920 bolt action?

Glad to see you "POST" again. Surely have missed your hunting stories and pictures.

good to see you, Greg, crossfireopps passed.

Still such a sad reality.

Hey Shrap,
Good to hear your still kickin'.
C'money back and join in, the more good we have, the better.

Shrap,

Have you killed anything in the past few months?




Dave

Or bought more Sakos? Hang around.

Hope ya stick around some........miss seeing those classy Winchesters!

Great to see you post Shrap....

Sure do miss the classic firearms and flying prairie dogs.

Shrap - some of us would like to see you posting just a little more often!

Glad to see you here Sharp I miss yer posts.

I have a a crush on hatari. Or maybe it’s gas.

Who is this Shrapnel guy that comes on, makes one post and then clams up?

He getting paid to increase traffic or something?

I have been busy. It is bald eagle season here.

Wow! Hello everyone. I went deer hunting today, mostly for does. Travis is finding me a nice Mule Deer buck, so I am just looking for does for now. I didn't shoot anything, but I got a nice fencepost picture of one of my later Sako acquisitions.It is a Model L57 in 244 Remington. A nice slow twist to shoot light bullets really fast...

Nice.

He's like the Fonzi of the Campfire......

Hey!

And the Chuck Norris of MT. I'm surprised you don't know him?

See that tree with all the weird glowing schit around it?





Travis

He can outrun antelope....

Isn't that a bush?

Que Ringman...

More like aaaaay!

Farmers.........

Hed's gonna get all uppity and schit.

Check out the Goat, I got it painted...

Shark jumping is sooo passe.

Good to see you again.

I remember Charleston Chews....frozen.

And taking a Bergara while the curlews went apeshit....


Please take care of those binos...they are my best pair.

This is a picture of Travis on our last rabbit hunt. He was supposed to shoot a rabbit behind the bush, but instead he set the bush on fire to flush the rabbit. I told him toilets are for flushing, rabbits are for blasting...

Did you get properly mended from surgery, It seems you had a knee wear out?

The GTO is still ridiculous and super smooth.

Glad you checked in!

Welcome back, shrap.

Here's one for Chet and David:

Can you believe, Chet and I were good friends???

Yes I got a new knee. It isn't as good as the original but better than what I had done to the original. I was hunting whitetail does today and put on 6.8 miles...

I love it when things revert to “ normal”

Grandpa went to school with Chet.

I ended up in jail...

Ha! A bit more interesting I will admit.

Yes, but only after I see this "sincere note"....

He must have realized how universally famous and iconic you are.

That Goat looks a lot like mine! Hope all is well
I see it doesn't post picture, if someone wants to tell me how to get it in the thread, I'll gladly put it there for all to see!

What year is it?




Travis

Are you serial?

Where ya been ? We missed you...welcome back...

Damn! Had me a '65 Goat just like that some years back. Droolin!

Quite obviously a 1966!

Jeez, you guys can't read the licence plate?

Holy Crap, same color, slotted aluminum mags and it is a coupe too!

Quite obviously not.

It's a '67.




Clark

My wife just took this picture of me in the new Ferrari...

Sir yes sir ...word is if u leave the fire u have joined obama in a bath house....it will take time to get rite.......but not all the way...sorry rules are rules..

Devastatingly handsome.

I just dont know who you are anymore........

Did I ever post the picture of the deer I shot on the way home from the range?

I picked up some friends on the way home from the range.

You've aged terrifically.





Travis

If you're wealthy just say so.

No need for theatrics/bragging.




Dave

Melaleuca, I am sure.

Have a ground floor op if interested...

Still saving up for those Crocs....as you can see.

Yeah? I quite fancy a good pyramid scheme.

Wow, On the very day I get my pacemaker, “The Shrap” shows up...

I better go sit down...

This will really test it out....
Glad to see you back !!!

(I’d guess 21 pages)

Hah! Best thread in a while.

Sweet car Shrap. Always liked those Oldsmobiles.

Present and accounted for!!!

Shrap,

It's nice to see you post. You've been missed.

Hello Jim!

Jim’s a great new [bleep].

Hi. Nice to see your post.

Is that a "strong opinion"

Geno

66?

Never Mind

Damn nice gto

the GTO looks great. coups are not to common, you mostly see hardtops and 'verts.

Glad your back. I missed your post and great pics from your firearms collection. Especially the ones in the field.

Update......Shrap got his deer.......

Hey Shrap..

Nice to see you're still alive Shrapnel. Love the car, and glad your new knee is doing well (I got two new ones myself). Just wanted you to know you're welcome in my deer camp any day. All you gotta do is show up, as I have everything covered.

Welcome back Chuck !

Glad to see you are still kicking! I missed your posts...

Nope..it's just the voices in your head manifested through your own automatic typing.

The GTO is ready for fresh cat prints?

Good to see you’re back!

Too funny.. but nailed it.

Good to see ya around, Shrap.

Welcome back, Shrap!

Time for roll call.........

You done messed up A A-ron.

About time! 👋

I sold Shrapnel a rangefinder a while back and I think we've been avoiding each other ever since.

???

I guess he can confirm the distance between you and him now.

No more estimations.

You must be getting older, I was up in Bozeman a few summers ago and met you at a restaurant you recommended. You let me take a pic in the drivers seat and there's another where I was pretending to smoke something since I was from CO.
You, me, my wife, and maybe both daughters met you. Please leave it for me in the will! Let me know if you need my name or other information!

Good to see you check in Shrap. How's hunting season treating you. Glad you knee is better. How about some pictures of some classic guns.

Damn Shrap! i thought you went to the out house and the hogs et you! good to see you back. got any new/old rifles you want to brag about? always looked for some gems you came up with.
don't be running off like that again. makes us worry about your well being.

Shrapnel, why did you quit posting awhile back?

I really don't know..

Just curious.

You should have held out for a 6mm Rem. <GRIN> Where the heck did you find an L57 in .244??

As a matter of fact I did get what could be the Dink of the year...

Please be careful up in that tree.


I heard the last time you tried that chit it ended up costing you a blown out hip not to mention some puncture wounds(small branches, etc..).

That picture is an eye-opener!

Who told you that? I never remember telling that story, but it was that same treestand. I had just gotten to the top rung and was pulling myself up when the rung came loose from the trees and I went down hard...

Shrapnel,
Not offended by your disappearance. I could see you were “running in the background”. Glad you checked in.

Keep your powder dry.

I’ve seen that face before.

I've heard of eye popping bucks before but yours takes the cake.

Welcome back Shrap, first you left then Deflave left and the campfire was spiraling the drain!

Deflave came back and now you are back, happy times again!

Now post some pic's of cool old guns.

Did you scare that fugger to death?

who's that "sealed beam" sittin' in the seat pretending to be driving?

No there’s no one left here. When you leave could you turn off the lights please

Why'd you leave anyway?
