HANGING OUT WITH CALLSHOT

[sixshot]

A couple of weeks ago me & Callshot decided to make a little safari looking for bucks, he's been itching to whack something with his new FA 41 maggie. He's shooting it really well but getting tired of punching paper & busting rocks. In the photo he's still a little scruffy from his Alaskan trip.


He did mention that he signed a few autographs, handed out brass & did a book signing in the airport restroom, I'm hoping it was the men's room but didn't ask.
Here he is with his FA 41 maggie & wearing his Barranti NWH rig.


I was packing my little J frame model 60 (nickel) just in case he needed back up. We didn't spot any deer but did see 2 herds of elk. One herd with a nice bull crossed through the trees right in front of us.


There were several elk feeding at the top of this canyon, including one mature bull. A short time later we ran into a neighbor whose wife had an elk tag for the following morning, we told him where they were located & she got that bull the next day, love it when the women or kids get a deer or elk.


One of my life long hobby's has been photographing old tree stumps, some of them look like they're on fire when the light is just right.


Oops, got the wrong photo at the top, was suppose to be this one.

That truck hood in the foreground of the photo makes you two look bigger than you really are. Nothing better than friends out for a fine day.

That last picture was snapped by a trail camera. Callshot was trespassing while taking Dick to go see his still. Look at the blank expressions on their faces....caught red handed :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock:

"No wild animals were harmed during the filming of this adventure."
(Why? Well, Dick wasn't wearing his Croc's!)

It must be time for me to set the record straight. It was a nice fall day and the deer hunt was on. We went for a ride up the mountains and got clear up to the top of GOBBLERS KNOB. The road was really rough and Dick's side of the blazer was dragging along the side of the road all the way. There were rocks and mud puddles and everything else to bounce over. We even ran out of road once. There were no deer to be seen. I did take this picture of about 6 different mountain ranges that we could see, so you might say that we hunted all six ranges of mountains. After that far my binoculars weren't much good.


Here is a picture of Dick setting his camera up to get both of us in the shot. We had taken some of the tree stump and guns earlier. I am sure glad that I didn't take my newer truck up there.


About a week later we went again for another uneventful ride. The licorice was good. We were on the other side of the mountains looking back at were we had been a week earlier.


We are very fortunate to be able to get up into the mountains and enjoy nature. It would have been better if there was more pleasant company to have conversation with when I go up there. It was a couple of days to spend together in the worlds largest playground. Thanks for going with me again Dick. Next time you can bring the sunflower seeds and find me a deer. Steve

Nice pics fellas. You do tromp around in some beautiful country up there! So sunflower seeds huh? I always wondered what that little dispenser clipped on the brim of Sixshot's hat was for!

You guys could have a column in a gun magazine with the "friendly" back and forth banter. Seriously, it's very entertaining. Thanks for sharing that with us!
