Hi Bush,



Well, is there any fresh venison on the table?



Stan

 

[BushWakr - RIP]

The short answer is no, but I have good excuses... . errrr reasons...



I did experience the following though... .



1 plane crash/landing (not with me in it)

1 large search and rescue fixed wing buzzing me repeatedly

2 guys jumping from above said plane

1 large S&R helocopter ripping my hat off and dusting me out so bad I couldn't breath or see for 3-4 minutes...

1 pilot who "vanished" after said plane crash landed in a logged off cut block. This plane was leased and operated out of Ca. and had no flight plan filed.

1 mysterious cargo taken from tail section of plane.

1 RCMP (cop) who had me drive her to the crash site on my ATV... she took the "get on back and snuggle up and hold on" suggestion a bit too literally. She nearly pulled my rifle right thru my belly into may backbone...

2 experiences with the "night sun" spotlight on the 'helo' as it searched using spot and FLIR for the pilot at night. Darn I need a couple of those puppies on my Dodge... . NASTY man NASTY... .

1 hunter who walked up to me and said "... . hi, my name is Dave and I'm not from around here, and I'm lost... . "

4 hours helping "Dave" find his lost truck which seemed to have wandered off and gotten lost.

1 local "native" person who was his hunting partner looking for him...

1 brother who got NO sleep for 2 weeks cause his hunting partner (me) seemed to enter a coma at bed time and snored up an industrial grade snore all night. He also tried things like yelling "WAKE UP" and "ROLL OVER" all to no avail... .

1 massive thunder and lightning storm with mega torential rain that I allegedly "snored" thru... . pffftt... likely story.....

1 minor encounter with a cigarette and the back of my head... . seems my brother was smoke a butt and I hit the brakes on the ATV a bit too hard/quick, which resulted in the above encounter... I guess you could say I was a "butt head" at that point... .



That and a few other things made this the most fun time I've had in the last two years..... almost too much fun to be legal... .



Pastor Bob...



Remember, ask and ye shall receive... OR... you may find the 'having' not so pleasing as the 'wanting'... ... deep eh...

Oh man Bob that's priceless. :-laf :-laf :-laf

 

[Case500D]

Bob,



Wow, jbolt is right. That trip was priceless! It sounds about like a trip I would have gone on, but it would have been my plane that crashed, the RCMP would have been 300 lbs. and I would have got hit by the lost and wondering truck.



Its just about that time of year here to start chasin' the elusive large antlered ,white-tailed, suicidal, car killer deer. I can't wait. The muzzleloader is loaded and the . 45/70 Contender is properly cleaned, sighted in, and ready to go. Glad you had a good time and I hope that your brother is still speaking to you

I thought I was the only person with this type of luck.

 

[sparks57]

Wow... who says you gotta kill something to have fun??? I would be excited just to see all the activity.



It's always been my view on hunting: I'm not out to kill, I'm out to learn and enjoy the outdoors and all the wildlife... harvesting is second to that.



But man do I LOVE venison!!! Oo.

 

[paccool]

Holy Crap!:--)



You need a vacation after all of that. Time for another two weeks -sitting under a tree along a slow moving river watching the world go by! (drinking a few beers would be in order also)



Wrong time of the year up there so I guess it would need to be in the tropics somewhere.

So Butthead,,,, I mean,, ah,, Bob, yea that's it,, Bob,,, and you go hunting because it's what,, FUN?

And even though my name is Dave, I am in no way THAT DAVE!!

Besides, I would have knocked you off your atv and drivin it over and stolen the truck so I could steal what ever the contraband was in the back of the air plane. Then I would have told the cop, or what ever you call them up there, you did it. And that you don't have a hunting license and you're from iraq.

Then I would have come home and watched it all unfold on the evening news.

WOW, what a story. Got any valium left?EH?





your friend

Dave

 

[BushWakr - RIP]

Nope, I pretty much was certain that you were'nt the Dave I ran into, he was big, strong looking, and had a VERY big 'gun'..... now I KNOW that's not you buddy... ...



Your friend and Pastor... . Bob.

A pastor never lies... . at least no often...



ps: did I mention that on one very early morning wake up. . in the process of getting ready to head out on the ATV we needed some gas (I know, I know, I've tried to get him to buy a diesel ATV but no luck) I happened to be standing on a piece of 3/8" nylon rope, with both feet, and when good ole hunting buddy fired up the ATV and moved it over to the gas cans, he took the rope with him... as for me... . well... I did a 1 and a half Fosbury, with a twist and great face plant..... Heck I got a "9" from the Russian judge for that one, and they are hard to impress... .

Just one of endless howls and hoots we had... . never made a mark on the old Winchester though... safe and sound. .



Pastor Bob.

Bob,

Even though we didn't have an LEH now I know why we had this feeling not to go hunting this year - with you at there trying to bomb the hunting gear it just would not have been safe!

Sure sounds like you had a lot of fun not hunting.
