A buddy of mine shot a cougar with a .17 Mach IV a few years back. He was hunting Bobs when he stumbled into the cougar and took an easy broadside shot. He returned home for his .270 before following the cat into the brush where he found it dead. He knew he was under-gunned, but wasn't going to pass up an easy cougar.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
--Winston Churchill
