2005 Colorado Pumpkin Shoot


Recommended Posts

Johne49, myself (catnipman), and 3 friends carted a truckload of

(free) unsold Halloween pumpkins a few miles west of where I live into

Roosevelt National Forest (where Colorado 72 Ts into Colorado 7 near

Allespark, CO, for those of you who like to check things on maps).

 

Between us we had two Tommyguns, two 12 gage shotguns, and a full

auto Mini-14.

 

When we first arrived at around 10,000 feet, the wind was whipping

about and it was snowing, but fortunately, the wind died down and

the sun came out for a couple of hours.

 

The five of us spent almost 1000 rounds at close range. By the time

we were out of ammo and all of the pumpkins had been turned into

lead-impregnated pumpkin mush, the wind and snow started up

again, and we decided it was a good time to call it quits until next

Halloween.

 

I took a few pics and Johne49 thought it would be nice to share a

few of these pics on the board.

Looks as if another battle has been won.

 

We must never give up on the ever constant battle, else they take shall over the world.

 

Good Job, not one casualty against the Thompson community.

 

Death to the commie Pumpkins!
