Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with free monthly minutes, food stamps, section 8 housing, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Wow,

I wish I could be there, but the budget is prohibitive at present. If my ship comes in, I'll be there, otherwise, keep me in your every trigger pull.

Just keep in mind that I'll be loaded for bear, moose, elephants and tigers or even testy cooks!
Make sure it's a timed release delayed action so I'll be gone before it works!

Will do, Mike. 50% beef, 50% powdered pain pills from my operation. You won't feel the 4-bore go off.

Tony, The one that you're thinking of is called Potter Flats/Rabbit Creek range. This one is headed up to Palmer/ Wasilla, just past Eagle River.

Thanks guys, I shot at one range with AK Shooter, when I visited him, and it was a nice range, and the F&G people running it were nice and friendly...

On a totally disassociated topic, I've watched quite a few episodes of Alaskan State Troopers recently. I have been amazed at all of the BAD stuff that goes on in such a beautiful state. One thing for sure, it seems that substance abuse, particularly among Indigenous Peoples, is beyond epidemic.

I always wanted to see someone shoot a 4 bore in a wheelchair!

I thought I would wait and comment. Apparently, Cal got behind on the pain curve and became a bit testy.

Cal, we would not pick on you if we didn't like you, know you can take it and know you can dish it out.

The truth is, everyone is a bit jealous of you as you are somewhat famous and go on exotic hunts. I think I can speak for everyone who has commented so far: "We would all trade places with you and go on those wonderful hunts and leave you behind."

The measure of a man is in the quality of his friends! See you all on the 4th. I will email you to bring some food items for all to enjoy--burger, dogs, buns and rolls, chips, soft drinks. I will bring the grill, gas, paper plates, napkins, and a few boat anchor pieces of crap for you to shoot.
Cheers mates,
Cal
PS. Just about done booking three or four hunts: plains game, two buff and plains game, hippo and plains game, and Australia water buffalo. Only taking the .600, of course.

That red dot will heal and go away unless my wife finds out that I got another double rifle!

Then it'll reappear!

Please don't be critical of Shootaway's targets. I've seen them, too, and they show an excellent shotgun pattern of (I would guess) improved cylinder--at 40-50 yards.

That looks like a CRAPLOAD of beer behind you, so I might know what the accuracy problem might be!

Just a reminder to anyone in AK, we'll be out there all day (~9 on) on Saturday with lots of interesting guns (4s,8s, 600s, lots of .400-.500s, etc), so please stop by if you can and join in the fun.

One that I'd sooner let out to a fat cross eyed migrant/illegal alien leper with whooping cough!
Especially if they have insomnia and aspirations of playing the cello naked during a severe snowstorm at 3 am.

Thanks but he can find a shelter elsewhere Buddy!
