Sixth annual Colorado get together

[Larry Ashcraft]

How about Saturday, September 6th at our place?

Suggest some activities, maybe? The clay shooting a couple years ago was fun, and Billll's newest boomers are always the hit of the party. Dove season will be in full swing, and we're overrun with Asian Collared this year (no limit on them, 15 bird limit on mourning doves).

Chili will be on, as usual. We will have fresh salsa, and I can get some fresh sweet corn if there's any interest.

And many thanks to MaterDei for all the thought he put into naming this year's event.

Sep 6th would be a great time. I'd love to blast some birds, and perhaps camp out over in San Isabel again like last year. I also found a big walk-in area south of Pueblo for more doves, for a Friday hunt....

Last year was a great time. Stealth doves...

Plus, salsa.... yummy.

 

[rondog]

Sounds interesting....I'm in Parker.

 

[PTK]

Sounds good to me - that's right near my birthday so I already have the weekend clear.

 

[Zak Smith]

I'll be at RM3G-Nationals in Raton..

 

[Justin]

I'll be at RM3G as well and won't be able to make it.

 

[PTK]

......geeze, two people I really wanted to meet can't be there. Can we vote on moving it one weekend forward?

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

The date is negotiable, but the Saturday before that is before dove season starts.

Thoughts? We're open to suggestions.

 

[NickEllis]

I don't MIND going before dove season starts, its just a heck of a way to spend the morning and evening. After??

I'm flexible, I'll be hunting doves regardless once the season rolls around.

ha...

...I'm in for whatever date...I have the LAV classes 09-20/23...
Is there a safe way to do a rifle shoot? I don't remember any berms across the pasture, but it's a wide open area below the house and barn...mostly 'cause I have yet to see that Garand of yours...I know that'll reach out and touch someone
...anything that works for you and the Missus'...works for me...Tell me when and what you need, I'll get there...probably more than once!

 

[Intrepid Dad]

I'd like to join. If I can make the date you pick I'll be there. Thanks for arranging this.

A few pics from earlier events:

And, 2004. Nah, we weren't having too much fun.

I can start sending directions to whoever needs them.

 

[NickEllis]

Any clarification on the dates?

 

[cleardiddion]

Aw, nuts,
gonna be back in school by then.

 

[BruceRDucer]

Well...will I be welcome?

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

Any THR (or TFL) member is welcome.

 

[MaterDei]

And many thanks to MaterDei for all the thought he put into naming this year's event.

I'd hate for my creative talents to go unused, so don't mention it.

 

[PTK]

Could I have a PM of the directions from 25S (coming from Denver area), please?

 

[Intrepid Dad]

Is the date still September 6th? If so, could I also get a PM for directions?

I'm sure you'd figure it out from my location, but I'll be coming from Colorado Springs.

Thanks,

Intrepid Dad (Steve)

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

Directions going out tomorrow. I have them saved on the shop computer.

 

[Dravur]

It looks like I will be coming down for this. I am coming from Longmont so can give a ride to a few people. I have a pickup and could comfortable take 5-6 people... well, 6 uncomfortably and have a pickup bed for gear. Let me know what I can bring. Im really good at making things like Doritos, Chips and other assorted items I can buy at a store. I can try making something edible in the kitchen, but you all might not like being test subjects to my cooking.

Anyway, let me know if you need a ride. We can split the gas, and save a few bucks.

Oh, and Larry, I will need directions again. I know it is go to Pueblo and go east... after that I'm fuzzy.

 

[BruceRDucer]

Larry:

I didn't get a PM with date & directions.

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

OK, directions sent. Anyone else need them?

The date will be Sept. 6th unless there's a big howl of protest.

Sandy's green chili will be lunch. Things to bring would be ice and drinks and any other little incidentals you might think of. If you want to shoot clays, bring some, I'm down to about a two and a half cases.

And welcome to the newcomers!

 

[gyp_c2]

hmmm...

...can I come down on the 31st and stay until the 7th?
I heard the "stealth doves" were already a menace and wish to help you reclaim your lower 40 from them...I can supply bribes if necessary...

 

[Kind of Blued]

Forumite PTK told me about this and it looks like you fellas know how to have a good time. I'd love to make it if I can make my schedule permit.

Either way, thanks for being a willing host Larry, and I'll hope to meet you all on the 6th.
