lol. I hear ya!

I have $7500 of coverage for contents but that really isn't that much. I will bet I will use all of it without even trying that hard.

#1. Glad that you guys are OK.

Go figure that ammo alone costs are about 1/5 of that total. Add in two rifles and a laptop and you have very little left for all the rest....

While the fire itself sucks.... My heartfelt condolences to the lost memories and treasures of the past. Everything else is replaceable, stuff like that is not.
 
Finally made it home at sometime around 2 am last night What a trip.......Greg's trailer burning up, , a freakin blizzard at Lake Louise (I could only see 20 feet in front of me) , a major head on collision between a BC Hydro truck and a f-150 on the AB side of Prince George (no life threatening injuries.......amazingly.....all those years as a fisrt responder payed off) and then a single vehicle fatality on this side of PG that had the Highway closed for five hours:runaway::runaway::runaway::runaway:
 
Memories

While we lost a lot of good memories in the form of pictures, we have started building new ones from the weekend. This was my boys first real gopher shoot and he had a blast. As well this was the first gopher shoot for my father in law from Ontario too. We will be making an annual gopher shoot from now on. There will be many more photos in the future.

I too will be adding this as an annual event and I expect that There will be a couple more people coming with me !!!!!
 
Well I'm glad that nobody was hurt, and am also glad these events didn't turn anybody away. We'll look foward to seeing everyone again next year. By the way Dave, I plan on using my saw alot between now and then. I'm sure the chain will be plenty dull before I get there. :p
 
mebbe next year I'll bring y'all a real saw just so's you know what one looks like...........out here in the great Northwest we use those little feller's for slicing tomatoes..............lol
 
We're finally back and while Saturday was a washout Sunday improved and Monday was a slaughter.Kevin303 ,Andrew,his wife and myself stuck it out but we had all taken a couple extra days off so if you were going to head home Sunday we can understand pulling the pin in the crappy weather.Saturday we entertained ourselves with shooting marshmellows off the fence.

Monday it was nuts with the other three plus Ernie working the same baseball field plot over and over and over.We had step into the Ho Chee Gopher city and laid waste. I wanted to play farther out with the SL8 and after a couple mags to figure out drop did some damage at about 350-370 yards.In the afternoon they went back out and found another crawling field while I went south of the house sat on a hill , started at about 150 and worked my way out.Heat off the barrel made the last shots a real challenge.

My highlight was walking out of a gullie and having an Antelope standing just 30 yards away. Coming back next year so put me down now and bringing my wife. I'll tell her I'm taking her somewhere exotic for our 31th anniversary.
