ammo fun facts

thanks sumpz, for the long and short answers - I love learning new things.

and for the link, simon - thank you.
 
I know, I know...

It's a long story...I've downloaded the pics to my comp but they're 8 MB apiece! I need to resize them for web posting and I need to use PhotoShop to do that. I can't install my, ahem, borrowed copy of CS2 until I install Windows Service Pack 2 which won't install on my, ahem, borrowed copy of Windows XP.

Once I figure out how to get SP2 installed and PhotoShop CS2, I'll post the pics...

Trust me, I haven't forgotten. :)

Hi Ed-I use a little freeware program called IrfanView to resize photos. It's really fast to download and, though I haven't needed to use it, it appears to have some other good functionality.

Let me know if you need any help, though if you can use Photoshop, this should be a breeze comparatively :)

If you want, you can email me the pictures and I'll resize them. How many are there?
 
One of the problems with being USAF intel, is that you always make things more difficult than they have to be....haha

Thanks for the obvious tip Ellie. ;)

Grrr...If I had PS I could crop this better and sharpen it up a bit...I'll fix it when I get my software going..
 
nice photos, esheato! colors came out gorgeous, very Arizona desert-y. I especially like the one with the hand and gun (uh, that's a pistol, right -- I still getting educated on all this).

ooooh - nice group shot at the end there.

So, when you guys want to do it again? Hunh? Hunh? I'm bummed we couldn't camp, and I've never eaten elk and, well, I really liked shooting some of those guns . . .
 
Where was the shoot?

I live in Tucson also. Where in the world did you go shoot? Does not look familiar to me. I live out in Marana.

Whats the drive? I'm guessing 3 hours? Do you have any directions, or mapquest maps.

Thanks
 
Ellie - Any additional get togethers in the next 9 months - a year and I should still have plenty of elk to bring along. 'Course if you and ArmedBear move to Idaho you ought to have opportunities to kill your own elk.
 
Pics fixed. Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately, I didn't get any of Kevin33 or myself besides the group pic.

If I ever make it back down to AZ, I'll look ya'll up.

dasmi, you drove from ALPINE, yo. From where we live in Point Loma it was 3 hours. Uhm - directions on the other thread, no? It was REALLY pretty there. Barry and I drove a but further East after, walked along a - some kind of water lock thing - a canal? dunnow. It was cool.

sumpnz, Barry is new to hunting, has gone after quail once and ducks once, will go duck hunting again Thanksgiving weekend. So far they are safe. He's a very good shot with a shotgun, but I guess there weren't a lot to go around and it takes practice. Plus now he thinks he needs a pointer/retriever :rolleyes:

I'd love to have an elk in the freezer, but goodness, we wouldn't know how to butcher it. Of course, it shouldn't be hard to get help with that up in Idaho.

I'd have a hard time shooting a duck unless I was very hungry. They look so earnest and concerned when they fly: wait for meeeeeeeeeee, guys!

no man-hole cover pictures?

No, I didn't get any. I should have had us all stand behind it and take a pic...that would have been cool. Did you guys end up leaving that out there?

Ed
 
Ya, we left it. We cleaned up the destoryed printers and all the other crap.
I'm pretty sure my brother got some pictures of the man-hole cover, but he hasn't developed his film yet.
 
If anyone is interested, the images are in a rough, nasty, filthy gallery, here.
Please excuse the poor formatting, and horrible html.
And if anyone is geeky enough to care...

First made the thumbnails:
for FILE in `ls -1 *.jpg|grep -v thumb`; do convert -resize 150x150 $FILE `basename $FILE .jpg`-thumb.jpg ;done

Then the index page:
(for FILE in `ls -1 *.jpg |grep -v thumb`; do echo "<a href=\"$FILE\"><img src=\"$(basename $FILE .jpg)-thumb.jpg\"></a><br>" ;done) >index.html

Thank you, Rikus, for the help.

The hard part is field dressing and skinning. Once that's done, you have the option of taking the carcass to a meat locker and they'll do the butchering for you (I don't know what that would cost, but for an elk figure around $150 as SWAG - that would include wrapping it all in serving size portions, grinding what you want into burger, etc.). Butchering it yourself isn't hard, just time consuming and takes a bit of practice. Fortunately my hunting partner and I had the assistance of his dad and uncle. His uncle especially was indispensable as he's butchered many, many deer and elk.

If you decide on AZ instead of ID I'd love to show you and ArmedBear what little I know about elk hunting and dealing with the carcass.
