Had the pleasure of meeting 577NitroExpress tonight, and I feel like we are old friends! We ate, drank, and shot the breeze for a couple of hours and the best part is that he lives a stones throw from me!

Paul, it was great meeting you and I hope we can get together soon and kill some animals!

I concur, father, son, and Grandfather...


Mike

Whitworth

Let me issue you a WARNING.

Never take 577NitroExpress hunting on ANY PROPERTY WHERE YOU VALUE YOUR TREES.

LOL! He said something to the same effect about you!! Does he shoot the trees??

Yes he does. In Texas His picture is in most post offices..
WANTED BY THE ARBOR SOCIETY....

I do not shoot trees, only pigs.

PS, he does hit a pig once in a while.

I suppose that .577 does some serious damage to trees! Can you imagine if he had a .700??

Whitworth

I do not know about a 700, but we had a fella with a 600OK [if I remember correctly], at one of our DRSS Hunts. He is a poster here but he shall remain nameless.

One day he and I were shooting together. He shot a tree [a hard mesquite tree] and about a cord and a half of wood blew back and knocked me down.

HaHa!! That's funny! Could save time cutting firewood!

+1, Dont know the Grandfather but Im certain he is a fine fellow as well!

Whitworth, when you get a chance to shoot that 577 pull the aft trigger first!! I was standing behind one of the members when he doubled that beast! He was a trooper and held on but when he turned around he looked dazed as if Tyson just gave him an uppercut!

Now if I could just remember the "name" of the fella with that 600.

LOL! Shall do! Don't want that monster to double on you!

Whitworth, when you get the chance to shoot the .577. Shoot it the right way, right barrel first. Just DO NOT drag the back trigger when you do.

I had no problems when I go to dance with the Hawk's "fat girl". Caution, she WILL lead that dance.

Tony certainly has a way of recounting his experiences! Listening to his story telling is one on my fondest memories at past DRSS gatherings.

Hog killer is right but maybe concider for that first experience just loading one round. Once you see what its all about you should be fine. I fired that baby and it wasnt that bad but there is no doubt something significant just took place!

Ok, ok, ok....let me just clarify something here.

That tree was CHARGING!

I mean, man, he was moving!

What did you expect me to do? Stand there and get "stumped?"

Now way; I took that shot and that sum' bitch toppled right over. And I'd do it again in a heart beat!

Marko, it was indeed a pleasure and I look forward to getting together with you many more times in the future, my friend!

Doc52's the Grandfather! Retreever met my son when the three of us met up with him at Cabela's when I bought the Francotte. Afterwards we all went to a hotdog place and Ewan, my son, climbed on "Big Mike" and told him that he loved him. My boy is a good judge of people

Are you talking about Paul?! Are you sure you did not go to a neighbor's house by mistake?!

Just kidding, Paul is a good man and great company. [Paul, I do think that they somehow have confused the warnings that have been issued about getting you around women when you have a woody with all this confusing talk about getting you around trees. ]

Yup, I am talking about that Paul!! It's him that I feel sorry for -- I wouldn't want me for a friend!

We have agressive trees out this way too! This is why I carry a big handgun for backup!

Whitworth,
You hanging around with my Son[577Nitro Express] there's something wrong with you!!!!LOL
