Don Coyote, SASS #63736 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I remember last yr. when the deluge started & I was at the loading table. Then standing at the expediter table with both long gun barrels pointed straight up, Squeaky trying to cover me with her slicker. Mostly I'm wondering if the BP shells in my SKB were getting saturated. Musta' had a good crimp 'cause they went off when they were supposed to. I was last to shoot on our posse before they shut it down. Cleaned the stage but it weren't very fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Wanted Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Booked the flight. Soon we will get the car and room. Can't do it all at once or sticker shock will set in. Haven't been there in a few years and really looking forward to it. Also any suggestions on a good place to stay near the range and food would be appreciated.

Judge Gardner Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Are you going to have a shave before Winter Range or are you going to have a shave at Winter Range You know it will be 95 down there and a shave may help the shooting in the rain.

Shooting Bull Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Grizz, you're in luck. Even if I wanted to do a repeat, I still wouldn't be able to come charging at you like a bull in the parking lot. Guess I'll have to figure out another way to scare the bejeebuz out of you.

Hells Comin Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Per Game & fish dept. The drainage issue has been resolved. I predict no rain this year, we've been getting a lot of rain over the last couple of months so Mother Nature should be all rained out by the time WR rolls around !⚡ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coconino Pistolero, SASS # 72432 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Maybe we should have a pool to wager on the chances of rain.

Grizzly Dave Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Don't forget to wager on SNOW....... Yup, when I was there two years ago we had snow. The whole valley was freaking out, and I was like, what, you call this snow? Not even enough to call a short skiff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coconino Pistolero, SASS # 72432 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We had fun in that sleet storm. I was rangering and we were called to save the main tent from collapse. About 6 inches of slush and ice water around the tent and sagging in the top around the edges. That there taught me to bring the Wellies the next year.
