Title: Turkey Hunt Sunday December 7th
Post by: gazjeep on October 26, 2014, 09:51:50 AM
Time is flying by & this end of season fun day is not far away.

Be good to see folks, if we can get an idea of numbers, this would help to decide if folks want a bbq fireing up to do a few sausages for lunch, nothing fancy, just a bit of something to keep us warm  :icon_winkle:

how many campers ? just wondering in case wood id needed

Post by: gazjeep on December 03, 2014, 09:33:43 PM
got no work on this sunday so I might drop by, ive never done a turkey hunt before what are the rules

Basic plan is Drive around hunting for plastic chickens & retrieve them while a part of you is still attached to the vehicle. Prizes given for most found & other prizes we make up as we go along. We are open to bribery & skulduggery

After that, rule 1 is whatever Bubba & I decide goes.
Rule 2, refer to rule 1.

Just turn up, have a drive around at your own pace & enjoy  :003:

Rule 1 - get turkeys
Rule 2 - you must be in contact with the vehicle when obtaining turkeys
Rule 3 - have fun
Top tip - trust no one, no turkey is safe

I'll be there!  Getting the jeep dropped off either Saturday or Sunday at ribbo.  Had a quote from beeches recovery for £150 each way! What a rip off.  Will have to make a few more enquiries I think.  How many will be there Saturday day/eve camping?

Bloody good day folks, good to see that the usual level of skulduggery was upto scratch  :003:

Weather held for the most part  :greggmo:, Stew was early  :icon_eek: competition was as fierce as always :violence: :violence:, site was slippy but doable for the most part with care. It was amazing how far a fat bloke in a 30 year old chevy truck with skinny road tyres on got pretty much anywhere he damn well pleased, even if a little sideways  :003:

MOCAJ, good to see ya mate, thanks for doing the honours, many congrats to Nial  :icon_super:
