  • Colorado here we come

    Unreal!! Joyce entered a Facebook contest with Global Hunting Resources for a two day guided Pronghorn Hunt in Eastern Colorado, October 8-9 that will be televised on one of the hunting shows. You had to write a 50 word diddy on why hunting = conservation. She won!! Just got off the phone with Aaron Neilson, the show host, and since he knew I'd head down there with her anyway he said if I can draw a permit I can hunt the ranch as well once the show is filmed.

    He did warn us that in Colorado you have to wear blaze orange so Joyce found this online….

    What great news! Can you say what the show is or publish her essay, or is all of that embargoed until after the show airs?

    Now THAT'S funny!
    It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
    In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
    Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
    Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now

      Fifty words is way shorter than you realize until you try and express a thought.

      "I’ve experienced a successful Lion hunt in Zambia with my husband Jim. The area was completely poached out 3 years prior. Our hunting dollars directly established the camp and the anti-poaching patrols that brought game back for the benefit of the Kaindu Community. Hunting = Conservation."

      The show is Trijicon's World of Sports Afield.

      It's hosted by Aaron Neilson. He will guide the hunt and Joyce will hunt along with Megan Johnson…




      There's no guarantee the hunt will end up televised but Joyce is a Hottie and can drop game where they stand out to 300 yards. Add the back story of the cancer and a blaze orange wig and I'd say she's irresistible.

        Hmph. I thought maybe 50 was a typo and you meant 500. Fifty words is like ... a tweet. Wow. Very cool, concise statement from Joyce.


        AFAIK, I don't get the Sportsman Channel, but honestly I didn't even know it existed. Joyce will have a compelling story for a TV show: "I didn't just survive cancer, I kicked its ass, and now I'm back out here doing what I love."

        Even if it never airs, though, it sounds like a great experience.




        And, the Megan girl is a serious babe. That insane compound bow! WOW!

          I thought you might get off on the shooting the 454 Casull in the LBD opener in the video. I just showed Joyce the video and she simply said, "She's pretty" and went back to Words With Friends. I thought for sure she'd say, "Oh good I get to shop for a LBD to go with the Blaze Orange wig".

            Maybe you can get Snaps to knit her a matching blaze orange vest or sweater?
            We are so fucked.

              Or a blaze orange dress to match Megan's in the start of the video.

                That's so cool. Btw, blaze orange:

                May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
                Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
                And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
                may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one.

                    Showed Joyce!! She laughed big time at that one. The other one (wig) has potential.
