Hi Everyone. I am a long time hunter (25 years) but havn't hunted or owned a rifle for the last 10 years. I am expecting my PAL in the mail any day now and should be a rifle owner again soon.
 
Welcome aboard!!! Always nice to see new folks on the site.

I spend quite a bit of time out in your neck of the woods as my folks live down off of Flood Hope Rd. and I'm often out visiting or dropping off/picking up my daughter for quality time with the grandparents (also known as play time for Mommy & Daddy :dancingbanana: ). Also, a buddy of mine introduced me to fishing the Skagit last year - great river and loads of fun. Evidently last year wasn't exactly a banner year for the river but I still had a blast.
 
Thanks for the welcome. I haven't done any fishing up the Skagit but I have a few buddys that do. I've probably hunted up the Silver-Skagit road more than any other place as it is so close but the only Buck I ever bagged was from the Spuzzum area.
 
Welcome aboard! :D
I'm in that p**swhole known as Ontario. I have no idea where your at, but it's got to be better than here! :(
Glad to see you'll be picking up the sport again! Enjoy!

Thanks for the Welcome effinggoof, ontgunner and guido. Oh... and jennis don't lol too hard, that movie gave me 2 months work as an extra. If I could figure out how to upload a photo off my HD I have one of me on the Set holding an automatic rifle.

Welcome aboard. Sweet pic ^^^^

Actually it's kinda funny, but just watch rambo last night, lol

I drive thru your 'hood a few times a year, I like that Hope is still a nice quiet town.
 
Ahhhhhh.....I was not laughing at the movie....I love it....Were you in the scene were he runs the roadblock in the MLVW on his way back to town ?????

I have always loved Hope....But I hear as of late it has quite a problem with meth / crack amongst the ' kids ' ????

No I wasn't in that scene but I was in a lot of others. And yes the Meth problem is bad but I don't really think it's worse here than anywhere else. It's bad all over.
 
True enough.....I just remember sitting in a coffee shop across from the town hall ( the sheriffs office in Rambo ) and was quite surprised at the amount of #### rats buying selling ' baggies' in the adjacent park
 
I was working for Arrow transfer at the time I hauled the 26 foot pup full of weapons from a guys place in North Vancouver....we took shifts guarding them up there....in the end they where all stolen if you recall...was weird stalone is so short they put him on a box and angle shot up when he was with John Vernon in front of City Hall in hope....was a lot of fun one of the first movies shot up here.

Yes I do remember when all the guns were stolen. They had to use fake ones to finish the movie off. And yes, he was definitely shorter than everyone expected.

I am sure you will find this to be the best gun forum around.
