Love terriers, have always had a soft spot for them.

Growing up on the farm, we always had a mix of terriers and terrier mixes. They were there to handle the rats as few of the barn cats wanted anything to do with a grown rat. Whenever an outbuilding was taken down or especially if burned everyone who could make it brought their dogs over to kill rats as the rats bugged out. The dogs got pretty tired and a bit chewed up those times. But they were pretty happy and proud to be doing what they were bred to do.

My first "hunting dog" was a Wirehaired Terrier/spaniel mix. She pointed birds on occasion but mostly flushed them. She was a pretty good at finding cripples too plus became a fair squirrel dog. She would go crazy with excitement when a gun was brought out even though she was incredibly gun shy.

I noticed that also. I have several sets, and all those but the two 1/4 inch holes are holes To take weight off, it weighs 2.3oz now, and I think it will end up right around 4oz or slightly over.

Really nice guns, I had a Specialist for several years. I sold it to a friend to fund a Baer, which I prefer. I do hope to add another DW at some point.

Tough to give her up, she was my dad’s retirement present to himself for a lifetime of work.

But she needs to be driven more than I need to keep her.

Indeed!

Prayers lifted.

One with nature.... flute music.... wind blowing through the hair......

I40 ballistic tips kill deer just as dead as a partition. I load 120 TTSX in a 6.5 Creed and a 6.5mm-06. They do well.

Despite objections here, split pea can be good.
Miso is good.
My fav is Pike Place clam chowder (from that specific restaurant, not just any clam chowder found around Pike Place).

I get that Rocky

Had 5 people over for Easter and 3 brought ⅕ Jameson each for me. Still have 2 unopened.

Gotta take a break from Jameson and mix it up

There was a old outdoor book in used to have that was printed in the 50s I believe and it recommended pulling the buttplate off drilling a few holes for a survival kit and extra ammo

I don't think there are many bad 6.5 bullets at sensible velocities, but I bought a bunch of PPU 156 RNs because they fed well in my 6.5 Mannlicher (and they were cheap) , ended up using them in 6.5 Swede and 6.5 Norwegian Krag also. With great results. They are not target bullets...but for killing deer, I don't see how they can be improved on. In these days, I realize it's not very trendy to shoot deer at modest velocities under 200 yards, but if that describes your hunting, they work very well....there is a lot of lead exposed at the tip and it opens fast. Some of the newer offerings made a pretty small entry hole...and they would seal up with fat and hair. I have seldom hunted much of anything but Blacktail and Black bear, and a heart shot is not a stopper...they will go up to a hundred yards, which doesn't sound far...unless you are in steep ground with undergrowth. Then it's nice to have some blood to follow.

I got nothing against short guys. Hell I'm certainly not tall myself.

It was that extra half inch on the license that I found humorous. RIP Mr. Vogle

I haven't turkey hunted since spring 2019.
Needless to say, body shape has changed a bit since then! 😖
ONE lonely pair of camo pants hanging in the closet!

Pair of MossyOak pants.

Liesol please square with US the Fact that was Under Emanuel “We the People “ were a Net Exporter of Oil instead of Net Beggars of Oil ..

Cum Out Dupe begging Venezuela for Oil ..

Keep Push US ..

One of the best right there!!

It’s part of the shtick.

Too bad. Bound to happen with hundreds of millions of contacts per year. The law of averages says there will be bad contacts. They should be disciplined and/or charged criminally if needed.

It's too bad they haven't invented the perfect human that can't make mistakes

All I have is my dad's 514 single shot. I had it drilled and tapped for a scope base back in my teens. It is pretty accurate and, for some reason, it thrives on bulk Remington Golden Bullets. I think I need a new extractor as empties are sticking in the chamber. It has always done that but it is happening more often. For whatever reason it has never liked to extract Shorts from the day my dad brought it home to today.

You mean how much Lorenzo looks like Ren....
