Too funny.......Mebbe I'll bring a real saw next year............but be sure to bring your little tomato slicer for the BBQ burger condiments.........

 

[Hunt&Hook]

July long sounds good for me. I won't have to take any time off, unless something drastic happens.

 

[tjhaile]

The same time next year would probably work for me.

.22 Guy here and I will try and get up there next year*from Toronto* the Via Rail lets you brings guns but not ammo may have to ship some up or buy it there whats the prices at the local stores ? hmmm . Also how far is this from SASKATOON ?.

 

[Hunt&Hook]

About 350 kms. You'd be better off going to Regina, I'm sure the Via goes there. Not a lot shorter, but there may be someone heading down #1. Either that or get dropped off in Melville and I'm sure you can get a ride.

Hey, what about after haying? Usually the weather is nicer in August, and the grass will be short. Just an idea. We may have to hit up some neighbors next year, the gophers around camp were flighty after the first day and if you didn't bring a centerfire you were pretty much out of luck. Mind you, Ryan and I found a spot where you could get 'em with a shotgun
Princess and I made a few contacts while we were there. From the sounds of things, everyone down there wants their gophers shot.

 

[pharaoh2]

That's getting rather late in the season and most will be down by then.

 

[Hunt&Hook]

I suppose you're right. No matter when it is, it's still way cool.

Hey, where are the pictures of Kevin 303 with his ass in the fire this year. Did anybody finally take Bailey home.

 

[hdffej]

Looks like I missed out. Me aqnd a buddy have been thinkin aboot assasinating some gophers and looks like we missed out on a partay. Is this something that I can just go out and do or do I need to hire a guide or something. I NEED to kill some gophers

Sooo.... as of this weekend I will have the 6mm to bring next year. Also a lever .22 Mag. Ahh, what a nice uncle!

The 6mm is fun... just need to start laoding for it bud..ammo is expensive & hard to find in any quanity...the .22mag is fun too..

 

[Newspeak]

Had to share:

You are right, definitely have to get into reloading. Have 4 Boxes of cartridges to get me started at least.

I love the rifle though. Rem 700 Monte Carlo stock/heavy barrel. Really nice condition. Think I'm going to switch the scope to the .22Mag, and get a new one for the 6mm.

The .22Mag turns out to be a Marlin 57m. Short stroke lever. Its pretty bad ass.

Oh man, I want it to be spring already, so bad.

 

[pharaoh2]

Nice!

 

[captain2k_ca]
