This is deep stuff. Your not really from Utah are ya. Let us see this beauty that has you beholding to the demons that posseses you. What color does it come. I am sure the flat blade was some sort of symbolic evil that would have controlled you and your rifle from a pharr. This would be the pure unknowing whit that might have saved you.

I have no idea what i just said.

Your Astute

Post by Guest »

KevinP;

You're an astute observer and have unmasked me. No, I am not a native of Utah, something that is more obvious here than "Gentile" outsiders might imagine.

The diminished resources of the local gene pool in Happy Valley have resulted in a recessive inability to laugh at themselves or cognitively distinguish between neighborhood barbeques and church picnics.

I readily admit to my own genetic short comings, born the only red-neck in a brood of liberal siblings. It must be some kind of throw back as Daddy always suggested that the Original Family Ancestor must have had a good reason to leave Ol' England.

Utah whatever it's social shortcomings, has some resources dear to my heart, open space, grouse, low cost of living, a job and temperatures low enough to winter kill some of the welfare herd.

Now that we've discussed my faults, I see you are well down that slippery slop to ordering a custom rifle. I warned you! But there you are cruising the internet, checking out the nefarious websites, looking at XXX maple and wallnut. I'm here to tell ya' it's just gonna get worse!

The First Circle of hell is buying cheap guns just to shoot. The Second Circle is buying good hunting guns after that comes the rapid decent into custom guns, good double guns and in the center of hell you'll be reading Double Gun Journal buying cased guns costing the price of a good pick-up. Yer doomed buddy.

If yer Catholic you can take my confession; I've sold my soul to The Devil Marv Himself. He is supposed to deliver my gun with Shilen barrel, Anschutz trigger and Pharr Split Finger stock sometime this summer. Course he wont tell when, where or how but I expect it in the middle of the night while the thunder heads crack lightning and dry rain over my house. The ligths will go out and the phone will ring ominously. It will be HIM, "It's done....Now pay up!" I can't wait.

I'm a sinner, dwl

By the way, you're so friendly over the internet. Are you a stalker? dw

dwl, I am unable to take your confession, however if you need to get something off your chest feel free. I am a nice guy and the only things i stalk are more ammo and websites about steel chickens and such. I live many years in UT. I love the place and have history in the culture etc. I have been down the double gun road as well as many other sacred steel and wood pieces of art. And even some plastic too. So what are you using to take grouse in UT. Where do you live. I spent 5 out of the last 8 years in Spanish Fork.

Hijacked!

Post by dwl »

Kevin;

We have successfully hijacked this thread many miles from it's origin, probably about 850 or so. I reside in pretty little Cache Valley. A strange irony that.

In 1982 a friend toured me through Utah trying to interest me in going to college with him. I liked the University of Utah and thought Salt Lake City a very clean, well behaved town. At BYU I was treated with distain when I innocently asked, "What do you mean I can't rent a room without the schools approval?' My friend drove me through a maze of mountains to I-don't-know-where and showed me another school covered with snow, under cloudy skies and a freezin wind. I looked north from that school, saw snow to the horizon and told my friend that place was far too cold me to live there.

It wasn't until after I lived here a few years that I realized I live exactly where I was looking 20 years before from the USU campus. I had no idea! The Lord works in mysterious ways mortal minds to confound.

As for grouse, I have pursued ruffs and blues with a Browning BPS. Best pump gun ever in my worthless opinion. Needs only an impromptu sling for scaling the back side of &*%$! Francis Peak. The grouse were fat but the going was tough.

For sage grouse I used a Superposed Superlight 12 and an A-5 Lite Twelve. Folks warned me that sage grouse were awful to eat but the Scotch Double I grilled on the barbeque turned out the finest pieces of meat I have ever cooked and eaten bar none and I was once a grill and saute cook!

This last year I made an effort to pursue sharptails in Idaho taking but two singles with a Franz Kettner 16 ga BLNE. Franz made a me a nice gun some time in the '20s, slim and light with swamped barrels and rib. Most folks mistake if for a light 20 or a 28 ga. The key is to shoot a modest load of #6s at 1100 to 1200 fps.

Feel free to come by some time for silhouette match (Missoula Jun 3 and Kaysville Jun 17) (my token return to the proper subject) or bird hunt. Queenie the Pushy Bitch and I will take you out for some wonderful avian humiliation in some beautiful country come fall. The same extends to some other of my near acquaintences from Pe Ell, Phoenix and Lander.

dwl,

Since you insist on laying out the BS, let me extend to you a hearty invite to the 2007 Southern Nationals. It is painfully obvious that you have a PHD in dispensing BS! Or have served time for highjacking as this thread proves! Are you sure that you are not from the South?

Painful?

Ouch! Guess I better shut my mouth for a bit. Just slip me a tentative date and I'll start planning to mis-spend what few dollars I can scrounge from my miserable job.

Dwl,

Always the first weekend in June and we will have the NRA National Air Rifle Silhouette Championship immediately preceeding the Southern Nationals.

paul,

You are correct in that the Nationals for air rifle will be in 2007! I was letting dwl know about next year. Read ALL the posts and you can see that he is referring to next year.

CSA Nationals

Post by dwl »

June 2 and 3, 2007. Yer on the calender. Course Chuckie might get a bit put out as that's about the same time as the Regional but...I guess I'll need to go on a business trip.

Still no rises on that bird huntin' offer? I kinda figured some o' the boys would jump on that. I promise you bring Chicken and Dawg and anyone else and I'll put you on some pine hens and we'll chase a few sharpies. I promise, no more than five to seven thousand feet elevation change in any one hunt. Come on!

KoldKut,

No need to weight you down, I've seen you shoot a scatter gun, give me my old berreta and 32 inch barrels and we'll just have to make a week of it. LMAO

Birdy

Post by dwl »

Dawg, Duc, Chicken, Koldkut, Kevin, Various and Sundry Other Good Folks:

Yer all welcome to come on up, out or over fer some birds. I mostly dry bird huntin here. There's wet bird hunting but I doubt it compares with our wetter neighbors to the north and east. For those of you who haven't hunted grouse, huns or chukkar, it's called takin a walk.

I have access to some good sized private ground in nearby Idaho for sharpies so I prefer to chase them there. Sage grouse I usually hunt in eastern Utah but there is a limited supply of tags so decide soon. Ruffies and Blues are up in the mountains and that's hikin' country. Some of it's easy access and some is @#$%! But that's where the fattest birds are. Chukkar can be hunted out in the West desert as well.

Pheasant hunting on private ground is jealously guarded here, what with so many wives, children and cousins! However, a buddy runs a Feasant Farm for those who like more shooting with less walking. I often book one of these on the last day of a trip so everyone goes home satisfied. The views from his farm are stunning and there's lot's of fields and cover and two water fronts for wet retrieves or just fallin in. If yer capsize handicapped we'll put you in a canoe with Queenie the Bitch which should take care of all yer problems.

By the way, I'm not in the hunting business. If you want to come it's just between friends. I've met some great people shooting silhouette and I like bird huntin. So if you want to come let me know. We'll have fun and it'll give you boys somethin to lie about for years to come.

Season dates are given below

Ruffed and Blue Sept. 10 to Nov. 30, 2005
