Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My wife says I am "Brutal"

Shooting hoops with mi familia after church, and the spidey sense starts tingling.

A glance over my shoulder reveals a gopher nibbling on the green beans in the garden.

I casually take a Jabar sky hook getting nothing but net, oozing swag and savvy as I sashay to the porch, like nothing is out of the ordinary.

My wife says, "You got a runner!"

Knowing the gopher will get to the soybean field before I can retrieve the Savage GL, I head for the gopher, reaching in the truck window for the M&P 9c - a previously baptized gopher slayer.

Swift of foot I engage pursuit, (my wife scoffing that I'll never catch it).

I see the varmint trying to navigate a cattle wire fence in hopes of becoming a ghost in the knee high edameme (or whatever that fancy f'n french term for soybeans is).

Making it through the fence, he pauses, and I take a shot, hitting wire.

I curse, as the gopher continues into the beans.

He makes it about 20 feet, I can see plants moving as he weaves a path of deception. Then he pauses, standing up to see if he is still being pursued.

This time, a triple tap sends the gopher into a spasmodic "twerk o' death".

And I turn to leer at my doubting bride.

"Brutal" she says.

"Yes. Yes I am."

When the NAACP reads this, they will be getting in touch with you

As long as they stay out of the garden...

What kind of gophers do you have that run on top of the ground..?

woodchucks, whistle pig, ground hog.

I call em gophers.

She's told me the same, for entirely different reasons.....

ROR, it's Japanese, "edamame."

that was the day you exited through the window?

Very nice work sir!

You know...

Nice shooting though and good write up

Japanese, french, whatever....

We have enough trouble ciphering the King's English....

I'd expect nothing less than brutal from "The Spartan".

It's too bad you couldn't get to the .22 mag and choot the gopher gator with the uber bad azz boolits you bought.

Me too, that's why it was "ROR" instead of "LOL."

What irks me is that the freakin varmint has 60 some acres of Idi Amin, yet he feels the need to consume my green beans.

That takes moxy,


and around here nets 3 hollow points.

If you had a dog worth a schit, the ground grizzlies would steer clear.

brutal....

That rates an ROR too!!!

It does make one wonder, though, if the web bots out there are looking for some sort of innuendo based on the thread title, as the thread has received over 7800 views in less than 4 hours.

Good thing I have attorneys on speed dial. I may have to lawyer up.

The last time "The Warden" called me brutal - was after 1200 miles in a day and 6 hours. Something about stopping to pee!
And we spent the night in a motel!
