That's the station homestead where I grew and lived for 21 years that trees slightly bigger now

Must have been a wonderful childhood.

With plenty of room to wander... ;-)

Hi Eric, how goes it good fellow? ;-)

Hey there RHP, all good in the land down under

Eric

You shoot an arrow with a fine line tied to it, then pull a rope over the branch and tug it down.

We aren't shooting tree branches off, but giving it a little friendly nudge. Haha

Great stuff! I see another sequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre coming...

RedHotPoker Posted at 2017-11-14 03:40
OH yes, I forgot. Not even the police carry firearms.

London and in airport's. They should do as the teenage population seem to realise they can do anything they want and get away with it. Getting very bad over the last few years.

In North America, over the past few years, particularly across the USA and Canada too, there have been a rash of unneseccary fatal shootings by police. But in the mirror view, many officers have been murdered.

Carrying weapons here is not a game. Aside from the 9mm sidearm, Many police cruisers are equipped with 12ga. shotguns and some even pack automatic weapons. It's a very violent world today. Preparedness for the worst situations seems right. Also a huge responsibility. Some police have let their power go to their heads, and abuse of that privilege. Using the Taser in a sadistic manner, has been noted.
I'd rather live in a safer environment. Now a days, committed terrorists exist in all capitals.

There are many handy whittlers and talented carvers in the world.
Find a practiced wood carver who does exquisite work, and commission something that appeals to you.


I would pick an interesting animal, that was predominant or rare, in my area, of the tiny spinning planet.

Perhaps a smiling wolverine... Haha

That's slightly bigger than some small countries. ;-)

Did your parents ever tell you to "go get lost"? Hahaha



I hope that you actually realize how lucky you truly are.

I'm imagining returning with your favorite drone in hand and multiple fully charged flight packs.

Bring extra micro sd cards for sure... ;-)

Very nice. Was that aftermarket or factory carving. Also, what caliber? I surmise a high powered hunting cartridge.

RedHotPoker Posted at 2017-11-13 12:11
Who uses them old Sharp rifles anymore? ;-)

We have AK's now... Ha

Actually I use my Sharps (45-70) for silhouette shooting out to 300 yards. Some purists use the Sharps with black powder to ambush unsuspecting  Buffalo out West.

Man would love one of those beautiful carvings in one of my rifles soo sexy. On the other hand I'm fundraising for Movember any donation for men's health would be a winna cheers peeps

Growing up on the edge of the capital city, I had plenty of opportunities to frequent the country side.

I feel sorry for kids who grew up in the city center, who didn't have that opportunity.   
You had the whole county... Hahaha

It's not my firearm, so I have no further info to share.
Likely a 30-06 or 308.

Good stuff, you have a coupe of nice firearms right there.
Yes, a little scrimshaw would help give them a little unique flavor.


I wish you getting high pledges, for your admirable efforts.
Grow baby grow, them whiskers... ;-)

What do you think it would cost you, for a piece like that? ;-)

Very nice indeed.   Too rich for my blood though.  That would be great in a collection, but my guns are for more practical uses....like hunting...lol.    But thanks...thats impressive.

Yes, these are both, most desirable pieces for sure. Very pricey.

Shall we say, cost prohibitive? ;-)

Ah, for show, not to go, hunting. Ha
