Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Stan Potts is on TV

He has one eye fishing & the other looking for bait.

He forgot the Butt-out tool....

George,

Here's a list of some of the items from the comedy corner:

A baseball cap with a boar's head on the front, under "I'm a Swine for Eberle Wine." Bought it in the 80's when I went on my first pig hunt in the central valley of California near Paso Robles. Eileen and i toured some local wineries with a California friend.

A copy of THE BEST OF ED ZERN.

Two books by George Leonard Herter, and a 1974 copy of the Herter's catalog.

A cheesehead hat from Green Bay, Wisconsin, from when Eileen and i went to the last Packers game of the season 10-12 years ago (a friend has season tickets, and has long rented somebody's yard across the street from the stadium for tailgate parties.)

A teddy bear from the North Dakota tourism department, with a Teddy Roosevelt moustache, glasses and Rough Rider hat, given to me when I was on the board of directors of the Outdoor Writers Association and we had our annual conference in Bismarck.

A mounted male prairie chicken from Nebraska, which I got a dozen years ago. Gave it to a local Montana taxidermist for mounting, saying I wanted it strutting. He made it strutting all right, with its head up, sitting on a log.

Probably should lean my Lee Navy Sporter in the corner, because its action was one of the bigger jokes of the early days of smokeless powder.

There are several other baseball caps, but all are pretty common, like the one saying, "Vegetarian: Old Indian Word for Bad Hunter."

George,

Stan has a good heart, so play nice.

He mostly hunted the fringes of dark timer and used a model 70 in .270 Ingwe Magnum......

Come on now you pretend mountain men Luddites.

You guys are complaining about hunting shows and the fall of society due to the NFL, yet have posts counts on this forum in the thousands exaggerating 100 yard shots on whitetails the size of labs whilst arguing the minutiae of why a 129 grain 260 Rem loaded with 43.0 gr of IMR 4350 is significantly better than a 130 grain 270 loaded with 60.0 gr of H4831sc.

Yes, living vicariously on the internet is infinitely better than watching hunting shows or the NFL.

Let me tell you what the multi-billion dollar hunting industry does, it makes it darn hard to politically damage. Keep the products and money rolling and if Stan Potts helps do it, so be it.

And before you get confused, it's generally horrible viewing, but that's why I have a remote control. To turn to NFL Red Zone. Or off.

Thank goodness for choices, unlike southern hemisphere democracies.

But the same guys that bitch about the outdoor shows will still watch football games every Sunday where guys run into each other, scratch themselves in private places, stomp around in some sort of display after they accomplish something they get paid million$$ to do and never seem to get the absolute similarities and outcomes.

Neither has made sense to me, but the NFL keeps making billions off of "Joe The Plumber" and millions like him, and they still keep paying and watching. At least the Outdoor shows aren't as corrupted with money and most everyone can engage in those activities, where football is "watch only"...

Believe it or not, I actually spooked a pig last season with a loud fart. It came out a lot louder than I expected and I immediately heard a commotion on the other side of some thick brush about 15 yards away. I then heard some pig grunts and all went quiet. She ventured out about 20-30 minutes later and I popped her. Wind may have been in my favor, but I can't recall.....
