I think this is a worthy cause....

I'm asking all Freeper hunter's to get involved.

Please tell us.
What is the "Rice Lake Hunters"?

[Osage Orange]

The second day of Wisconsin's 2004 deer gun-hunting season...a man shot eight members of a hunting camp, killing six of them.

He was a trespasser, and started shooting after being asked to leave the private property.

Rice Lake is a small town where most of the victims lived......

FRegards,

PING

[Publius6961]

Thank you. I recall now; not being familiar with that area, the name didn't ring a bell.

[Graycliff]

I'm in.

A man just can't have too many Weatherby's.

I hope the auction go's well. This whole thing was such a tragedy. My prayers and hopefully my money ( if i get lucky ) go's out to the families.

[Osage Orange]

bump...related.

A little late but better late than never...

Wisconsin Hunter Shooting Threads and Links

[SJackson]

Click the link in post 9, Wisconsin Hunter Shooting Threads and Links. Ladysmith has done a great job in keeping a slaughter that doesn't make the news alive.

[Ladysmith]

And a hats off to ButThreeLeftsDo who keeps finding new info and alerts me to the latest...

[JLO]

You darn right. Lafysmith kept up on this, big time!

And I, thank her!

(Just old info, I used to be a Wisconsin DNR employee.)

[JLO]

SJackson; Ladysmith

Please excuse my mis-spelling.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Whoa! I saw no Weatherby! Is someone holding out on me?

Is there a secret link no one is showing me?

[Stonewall Jackson]

Thought you'd find this interesting.

[SJackson]

Just old info, I used to be a Wisconsin DNR employee.)

I won't bash you for that, I actually like all the DNR folk I've met.

Love the Hillary pic. I met her 11 years before you did. She was brilliant, working a crowd, but I didn't take a pic because she was just the wife of some complete dumb*ss from Arkansas running in the primaries. Never underestimate the enemy.

[Ladysmith]

Really?! What did you do?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Happy to be of help, Ladysmith. For reasons we won't go into here.

After a daily cruise through the local (MN) media outlets, I do a Google news search for Mr. Vang.

If anyone would like my list of links to Minneapolis/St.Paul media, I'd be more than happy........

[JLO]

LOL!!!

Really?! What did you do?

Well, it was in the early to late 1970's, ya know? Glorified secretary was the title.

Started out as a temp. They liked me and hired me full-time. Worked there +10 years. Then my ex-husband wasn't doing so well. We moved away.

Story went from bad to worse - not in my control.

Most in my mind about it:

Best guys ever.

[SLB]

FYI

[Osage Orange]

I think there is going to be more than one auction....

I believe the one going on now...is just the first.

Disclaimer- But I could be wrong....

[Osage Orange]

She was brilliant

I dunno......

Brilliantly devious, maybe. Or....brilliantly evil. But not just brilliant.

Weatherby is one of the company's donating goods for the auction.
Old Weatherby fan here. My oldest is a 721 Rem chambered for 300WM. It was purchased new in 1942, by my father. It came from the factory chambered in 300 H&H, it was immediately sent to Roy Weatherby, to be re-chambered for his ( then wildcat ) Weatherby 300 Magnum. Thats the way the stamp reads on the side of the action.
Strangely enough i only own 2 Factory Weatherbys, 1 in 300, and 1 in 257, my others are all built on different actions. My favorite is a 257 built on a Sako action with a Shillen barrel, on a custom thumb-hole stock built by Harold Broughton. It's capable of .5 MOA, shame I'm not.
