Spent the day at Jerry and Ellie Burneys last Saturday. I was NOT disappointed!! :) Wonderful folks, fed us, clothed my luger with a repair, let me shoot his Colt, and I shot my P38 and the company was high-falooting and great!!!

Had a hell of a good time, and he even did a trade for a 32 Savage!!

Wildlife outside of their door!! They are like pets, so "shootin" and "huntin" talk probably won't be appreciated! :D

Ed, Ellie and I did appreciate your visit. Had a great time with Ed and his wonderful Wife Terry.

Went shooting at my private range here by the house.

Did a great show and tell....some gun trading so all in all had a day to be remembered. Ed and Terry brought some really nice gifts. A beautiful lavender plant for my Wife Ellie. She is real proud of it and has it in her flower garden...

The deer in the photo there are truly pets, will take apples out of your hand. We have actually named them, the one on the foreground is Thanksgiving, the other Christmas, and the one in the back is Sunday dinner. Naw! I don't even like venison.

Ed, I finished installing the new hinge on your Police Holster and put it in today's mail. You should get it Wednesday or so I suspect. Priority mail.

Ed, you and Terry are welcome any time...I look forward to your next visit. Jerry Burney

Man...hope that white propane tank was not part of the shooting range... :D

Beautiful photos !

No Pete, My shooting range is down the creek a bit. I don't do any shooting real near the house because of the wildlife, my pet cats and my Wife.
Mainly my Wife.
Besides the propane tank is nearly empty....I tried to shoot one years ago, a much smaller one and a pistol round would not penetrate it. At least up to .45 ACP. Pistol rounds in smaller calibers will not penetrate much metal. I guess a .44 Mag might and a 223 deffinately will go through quarter inch steel. So will an AK round, 7.62X39. Better hide behind something substantial with the bigger ones! Jerry Burney

Living in paradise!

I simply MUST help Ed and Jerry celebrate Colorado!

Man Wes! Is it Fall over there early? Looks pretty nice! We are some lucky people...Hope no one is jealous. Must make it over your way sometime. Jerry Burney

Jerry,
The top pic of Mount Logan was taken this summer, the pic of Mount Rosalie was taken last autumn.
We have pets quite like your deer, only ours is a fox which eats out of our hands, and a squad of raccoons, hummingbirds out the wahzoo, elk, and bears (8 bears in our yard in the last 5 years).
You are correct, it is truly paradise!

Here are a couple of pics of a ptarmagin and her nest that I photographed on Mount Rosalie, above timberline last summer.

Wes, Those birds put the capital C in camoflage!
Nice photo's. jerry Burney

Wonderful pictures! Thanks! I intend to have a retreat in the mountains some day. Hope to have one as nice as I have seen today. In the South East there are majestic wonderlands. I just hope they stay that way. You are so fortunate. My neighbor used to invite me every year to his Family property.

Magnificant!! I am speachless.
