Damn, I just took Catherine her first cup of coffee, asked her if she still wanted to see New Zealand. She smiled and asked “ what are the Nozzle Heads (all ya’all)up to now”. She didn’t buy my feigned innocence.
Outstanding trophies, truly amazing animals.
Miss Sugar can clear a room with her farts, doesn’t seem to matter what I feed her. When I was guiding 4 days a week seemed like I couldn’t feed them enough. Purina was pretty good. I also had the cooks at the lodge save all the trimmings from the roasts and steaks they were feeding. Kept a...
No it’s a 12 ga. M2 Benelli. Love hunting with my side x sides but when I’m working the dogs I’ll bring the m2 with a sling and let my buddies do the shooting. 3 inch #6 Bismuth.
I had it drilled into my head clean after every trip to the range. I still tend to keep them clean. Generally I’ll start a load test with a clean bore firing two or three fouling shots at my steel plate.
Hey, I’m heading out to my shop right now see if I have those cages I was telling you about. Got them. Small birds, chukar, quail, pigeons hen pheasant will fit, you set it up, bring your dog in and when he’s holding point you step on the lever and the bird jumps. Still use a check cord till his...
We got in about 4 miles about two hours and got legitimate shooting at one rooster. The girls were rock solid on several hens and a couple of roosters in heavy cover. Caught this guy in a patch of cat tails and he made the mistake of breaking left.
I looked these guys over pretty well there are a couple of smaller ones missing and a couple of new ones or perhaps it is an entirely new group of bulls on the winter ground.
My philosophy is to use a bullet on elk that will work when the perfect shot goes wrong. I love the ballistic tip, but have seen both ballistic tips and Bergers blow up on the shoulder of an elk. Those shots were aimed for the crease but something in the equation wiggled. An accubond will go...
I need to play with the Etip some more. My initial efforts were unsuccessful relative to accuracy. Great report on your success, what’s not to like getting through and through both shoulders and a devastating wound channel.
Last Sunday we had “The Major’s” service. In attendance were two Generals a couple of colonels and about a dozen NCOs he served with over his career as a Ranger. Any of you with access to The Sentinal will have access to Requim for a Lion. Tony’s story.
The VP of product development at Nike was...
I didn’t have a tag for Starkey first season but took my nephew hunting. He and his dad drew the tags but my Brother in law died just before the hunt. We found quite a few elk, nephew was holding out for a good bull. We found one but he missed his shot. He was having a pretty hard time with the...
Well not a neighbor. Elkton is probably 450 miles west south west of me. Great country down there in that South West part of the state, Good Roosevelt, Black Tail deer and Black Bear country.
We started the process under the last trump administration to no avail. Bidens greatest error was following Trumps plan to pull out of Afganistan. Neither had put in place the tools to get those who helped us out. Bidens excuse was he had to follow Trumps agreements. History will likely show...
UPDATED NEWS
We were awakened this morning to the ring tone Catherine had reserved some years ago for her interpreter in Afganistan. When he finally settled down and started speaking English we learned that both of “her guys” have appointments in the coming week to get their passports and...
My condolences Troy, friends like that are never replaced and they never stop giving. I find remembering the time we had together helps me fade off to a good nights sleep.
