Miss these two quite a bit.... Deflave’s smart remarks kept this place fun, and Sharpnel’s hunting and gun collection was great!!! Anyone know what happened and if they are on another forum???? Thanks..
Not enough hero worship going on around here to suit him.
WTF? maybe they simply got tired of envious people who like to tear people down.... to lift themselves up, did you consider that? the fuukin projection here is epic.... Put your ego aside the campfire would be a better place!
Might'of just tired of the endless political and racist rants and wandered off somewhere folks are more incline to post of their outdoor interests and activities.

Shrapnel is such a humble man. Of course you're right, what was I thinking LOL.
I had Travis at the house here in Texas a couple of years or so ago. He picked up a mint M29-2 in the box and we sucked down 12 IPA's, that sucked for me but I endured... He and his dear wife's run of family and they are is well focused. Sharp dude without question. They, have a vision, one they will nail.
There was zero doubt, that you would be participating in this thread,
If someone else won't mention your name, guaranteed you will.
Such envy.
We'll be sure and send you out a participation trophy.
You Really Got It Bad, dude
Shrapnel was not on my radar at all, had no idea who he was, until he made a snide comment to me about the house I once lived in. You go out of your way to insult someone, I guess you should expect some blowback. It's not hard being nice, unless you harbor some sort of problem.
Tarkio, the question was asked why they aren't here, and I answered it. After The dynamic duo from Montana pissed off 2/3 of the good people here with their April Fools prank Shrapnel isn't getting the love he needs. Not sure what you're struggling with.

What you are doing isn't blowback. You are consumed envy or hatred or both. This infatuation with these guys is really unhealthy.

What if the reason Flave took a sabbatical was to hopefully prevent you from harming yourself during that epic mental melt down you had for all of us to read...Travis vanished shortly after, maybe afraid he was contributing to your demise. And, probably with good reason, knowing how litigious people can be over their own problems, yet blaming others.
I have no axe to grind with you, nor hate...But, I’m not a fan of people who run their mouth about someone, even an enemy, when they believe it’s a safe space - it screams “I’m a big pussy”.
Flave and Shrap appear to be gone, for how long, who knows, but you and a couple other members are the only ones talking shït about them. Roy, you’re better than that, and I think you know it too. 😎
PS On a good note...Nice Bear you got this year...I would have liked hearing more about your hunt then what you posted.

It tends to get a bit weird when Fireball posts schit like this:
“For the record, you pissed my wife off and she found you in about 4 seconds with a simple Google search. Knew your family, your kids schools, your address and phone numbers, the works.”

As for Shrapnel,...seems like a decent guy,....good taste in firearms,...extremely bad taste in who he chooses to align himself with on internet forums. But that seems to be a trend among several people on here.
They're like,..."There's a chucklehead! I'm gonna be his buddy, by damn!"
,.....ain't no makin' no sense of it. Some people are just funny that way.
Oh, so he’s too busy pulling off friggin’ awesome hunts, like creeping on his belly for a couple of hours to take a bedded down pronghorn with an antique lever gun.
Two miles from the truck, I wonder how he got it back.

Cool hunt.
And ya know, at the same time, if memory serves correct, the man has also hunted with a fancy scoped 300 Weatherby.

Oh right, copied from the Plains Indians, they just added wheels. Do you think he used one?
Birdie, FB and crisco do-wopping in synchrony, the Flave and Shrap rile them even in absentia. That is truly hilarious. LMAO

Ironic coming from you
You’re just mad because I exposed your scam selling Norincos to sleazy rich guys with foreign accents, slicked back hair, gold chains and mirror shades (no not you, them).
I ain’t said a word about Flave one way or the other. Dunno what troubles the man, if it does.

It is ironic that you characterize anyone that can buy a Norinco in the way that you have. Keep making those payments on time and enjoy that porch wine.

???
Where did I characterize “anyone who can by a Norinco”?
I merely implied you were selling them to people who come from places where men commonly have sex with donkeys.
Anyhoo.... I too have purchased an expensive black rifle, .50 cal., double set triggers, maple stock, large Siler lock 😎.
Sorta pathetic you trying to poverty-shame me tho, makes you look small and fundamentally stupid.
No Liberty Creek Merlot tonight, I’m practicing for my retirement years with the other guys living under the bridge: it’s one of those cheap “artificially flavored malt beverages” that have torpedoed the MD 20/20, Thunderbird and Ripple Markets. Comes in a tall aluminum can, 14% alcohol.
Nobody says “proof” anymore, maybe dividing by two is too hard, part of the dumbing down of America.
Liberty Creek Merlot is like a sensible and even-tempered lady, this malt beverage is like her bat$hit-crazy cheap slutty sister 🙂
I liked Shrapnel's posts, I got the sense that he was tiring of what this forum has become. If Mule Deer does the same, there won't be much left, not much hunting and shooting content They could rename it more accurately , something more trendy . In hunting camp ,around a fire, we talk hunting, look over each others firearms, swap a few lies , stretched out for effect and sip some good whiskey.
In hunting camp , the hunters are people with names in the phone book and if you become belligerent , lazy, overboozed you won't come back and it won't be your choice. My little old opinion, I wish this forum was moderated more closely, No room for rudness and baseless political rants.And much, much less of it. John Barsness it a treasure here, and others also -no reason this sinking ship cannot be righted .

Two, three years and have posted less than a thousand times. Thanks for your input. Now STFU and go to Dem Underground. They have plenty of mods there I've heard.

Sir, you talk gibberish. Maybe it draws in folks that get some thrill insulting others...I don't for sure, but this is a forum keyed on hunting a shooting- not politics and conspiracy theories .I would hate to see J.B leave here, his is a classy guy, perhaps the best writer around, and he chooses this forum.
You have no room to talk about growing up. Ya old fart.
Hey Toby/Paul/Magdaddy!!! How'd I do? I've been training for my stint as Toby and I figure asking the master of the position for tips would help me get up to speed.

I like Shrapnel's posts as well, he is a man of great knowledge on guns and history. I think there are a few here that are jealous of Shraps ability to buy whatever guns he wants and they try to make it out to be his fault as in being a braggart.
I'm glad he posts his finds up as I wouldn't have learned the things I've learned without him doing so.
That said, i'm glad this forum isn't moderated, we are all adults and should be able to figure things out and as an unmoderated forum the Campfire is not for pussies, if you don't like whats posted go somewhere else on the board. lots of forums and subforums to sift through.
I would agree that the nature of subject matter on the Hunters Campfire has shifted during the past few years and that the general tone of posts/discussions has become less erudite. This may be because some of the early key Campfire stalwarts have left (death, disinterest, etc.) and their previous heavy influence is missed, it may be due to the tenor of social change as exemplified by younger/newer/less experienced participants, it may simply be due to the natural evolutionary degradation of most social groups - who knows? I do know that some very excellent and enjoyable guys no longer spend much time here and have shifted to a Facebook venue to continue their association one with another. Not having managed to do that with them, I appreciate their reasons and what they are doing.
Having been mostly a solo hunter/fisherman for the past 30 years I would not know from direct experience, but maybe the tone and tenor of discussions while sitting around actual campfires in 2019 are greatly different than they were 20 or 30 years ago. If so, it would be no surprise that this forum has shifted as well.
I seem to prefer the old ways and those in-depth discussions about firearms, reloading techniques and successes, performance on game and targets, where and how to hunt, etc., etc. - and have never appreciated the blowhards, the show-offs who brag and post voluminous photos of the latest great acquisitions (which actually are far exceeded by humble folks who own far better and nicer stuff - and know more), and don't appreciate the foul-mouthed wise guys who specialize in put-downs, insults and efforts to make themselves feel more important by denigrating someone else. Juvenile stuff. But, this place is a reflection of real life.
Fortunately, there is very good info and discussion on some of the other Forums here. Even more fortunately, through this medium I have met and grown to know and enjoy some first-class people - we manage to get together face-to-face and the richness and gratification of real time with such genuinely fine and very knowledgeable people is the best result of my time here. So, many thanks.

My sentiments exactly, Paul. I've always enjoyed Shrap's knowledge and posts. And, if somebody takes that for bragging, well too bad. Don't read his posts. He's worked a lifetime to get what he's got... in guns, knowledge, whatever.
Need an example? The shooting grouse in a tree dumbass.

Those who interpret Shrap's posts, on an "outdoorsman's site, as boasting reveal their own insecurity.
Envy is a human weakness that is easy to exploit...... for the weak minded amongst us.
I too enjoyed Shraps post, and Dobers , Flaves and even many of Steelheads post, especially before he became a toxic poster... I can see how this place can have that affect on a fella...
Hell I even enjoy a few of Fireballz's post , until his envious inner chick and cyber stalker comes out.....
Deflave derangement syndrome is real...... DDS
Hell some may argue I have Stick derangement? SDS.... hahahaha

Dude, BECAUSE I’m the stud who bicycled the West (or parts of it; 1250 miles total 😎 ), I can appreciate the labor it might take to carry/drag a carcass two miles. Not sure I’d have the knees for it.
Being denigrated by cool guys like criscoe,ee and birdie is a character reference.

I always have the kids be present with me in the classroom when I write them a character reference for a scholarship application. Typically that caliber kid has done a whole bunch of stuff and it’s easier to get it all straight if you can just ask them while you’re writing it.
So, ya want a reference from me, ya gotta be here.
Shrapnel and DeFlave sounds like something similar to Dave and Busters only with topless waitresses, shooting lanes for Glocks & 19th century long-guns, sprinkled with a dash of muscle car and the wafting odor of a pre-dpf Cummins diesel. In the background you'll hear thrash metal, 60's-70's country, and mandatory Beach Boys 1x/hr.
Best guys have left...forum is going downhill...posters are mean...etc. Most forums have shixt like this posted. Rick runs a great forum here and those who don't like it or how it is moderated are welcome to find other places to post. There is a ton of info here. The general board has it too, but you have to sift through the exact stuff this board was meant to weed out of the other more specific and gun oriented boards.
Anybody who thinks I'm insulting obviously has never run across Schtick or S Head.

i just hate it that the best guys have left.
in an orgn i use to work for, they'd cull 10 percent a year.
so, there was always 10 percent to cull, weed out. it was process.
that meant the door was always open for new mbrs/employees. individuals..
a continuous winnowing process. no beginning, no end, just on and on. pay taxes..
Not enough hero worship going on around here to suit him.

Thanks for the kind words, it really doesn't matter if anyone cares. Shrapnel, imo was a source of good info. He has done it , so he shared it with others. I believe he tired of extreme insults. Too bad, this is what 24 C.F. needs.
Heres a picture of Shrapnel roping an elk, while deflave is playing with his pekker
Looks like he caught both horns but the set for the heeler is crappy. So Shrapnel, hasn't turn to many bull elk for his heeler. Pasture roping elk is a tough game.
Do I need it moderated? It would be an improvement, some would be reined in a tad . Y'know that guy might be the 400 pounder is his parents basement. Totally irresponsible and in the internet age, slightly functional. The issue is, this forum is about campfire talk, guns , game, upbeat BS and a ( maybe)little booze. Not spite. Maybe the criteria should include actually sitting around a hunting camp, and swapping silly lies, folks. My vote is Shrapnel is ok....better than ok.

If Mule Deer does the same, there won't be much left, not much hunting and shooting content They could rename it more accurately , something more trendy . In hunting camp ,around a fire, we talk hunting, look over each others firearms, swap a few lies , stretched out for effect and sip some good whiskey.
In hunting camp , the hunters are people with names in the phone book and if you become belligerent , lazy, overboozed you won't come back and it won't be your choice. My little old opinion, I wish this forum was moderated more closely, No room for rudness and baseless political rants.And much, much less of it. John Barsness it a treasure here, and others also -no reason this sinking ship cannot be righted .
I like Shrapnel's posts as well, he is a man of great knowledge on guns and history. I think there are a few here that are jealous of Shraps ability to buy whatever guns he wants and they try to make it out to be his fault as in being a braggart.
I'm glad he posts his finds up as I wouldn't have learned the things I've learned without him doing so.
That said, i'm glad this forum isn't moderated, we are all adults and should be able to figure things out and as an unmoderated forum the Campfire is not for pussies, if you don't like whats posted go somewhere else on the board. lots of forums and subforums to sift through.
