Who Says Ammo Doesn't Grow On Trees

[AJ]

Who says ammo does not grow on trees. Found this on another forum and they had got it from Facebook. Was taken in Alaska.

It would be great to know the whole story about that tree.

Not much of a back story there. Was found in Alaska, near an old saw mill site near where a dam was built in 1915.

I guess someone hammered empties of various calibers into a stump. To what end I can't imagine.

Probably boredom and an abundance of brass

 

[SPEEDGUNNER]

That's a LOT of hammerin'!!

I thought you were talking about being under a hickory tree with a sling shot. Hiccer-nuts make a very bad wound when launched from a good sling shot at 200 fps.

There weren't any Hickory trees here in Florida when I grew up. We used marbles and ball bearings. Coconuts were just to big!

When you are out in the wilderness with no wimmen, lots of time on your hands, a gut full of whiskey and the camp donkey is otherwise occupied you'll do lots of things out of sheer boredom

Wow, that is very cool. The old head stamps are very interesting. Would like to know the story behind the stump.

Looks like the expiration date has already come and gone.

Have a blessed day,

You're such a sap, you just couldn't leaf it alone, could you?

Sometimes it's best not to reason why. . . .

What you needed was a bigger sling shot! Larry

Back in the 1700s, a visionary in the era of muskets wrote a Christmas song about "a cartridge in a pear tree."
