Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Mountain/Backpack rifle - mid - longer range

Jerry,
Glad you are enjoying them. A couple more, spring has finally arrived.

SWEET !

We R earlier than y'all. I mowed once in Feb, Twice in March and now every week - 10 days.

I killed a rabid skunk recently and see WT occasionally. Last week I had a large deer I feel was a buck at my salt lick just at dusk.

Thnx again.

Jerry

Sammo,

That a versatile hiding behind that truck? Yours? More pics?

Silly question Sam,is that thing being loaded with feed for your cattle?

I luv Texas, but when it comes to "big" game and scenery, you guys got it all goin' on!

good stuff!


ya!


GWB

Good God almighty...I swear to Christ you live on a postcard!

I bet it ruined his sex life for a couple weeks.......

Or spiced it up. Lol.

Nope. I'm right handed thank God. Didn't have to miss a stroke!

One through the hand accidentally is one thing, but don't think I'd pay to have one through the nose, lip or cock like some I've seen on here.....
My time with the Tract is about done. Overall, seems like a solid built decent scope. Like you, I find the reticle distracting and busy, but the mechanics seem pretty solid. Lot of competition in the market they're choosing to compete in though. The more I use the mil quad SS's the more I like them. I need a couple moa quad's I think. Probably all I need in a scope for what I do. Something simple.

I need to PM dude270 and hand it off later this week. Appreciate you giving me the chance to try it out. I think they have a steep slope to climb but wish them the best of luck.

Damn it's been quiet around here..... And....dare I say, Boring? New Pres has this economy [bleep] Rocking, leaving alot less time for leisurely pursuits, though lots more money to finance them. What a quandary....plenty of Mon for the fun, but not enough hours in the day! I'm sure the Democrats will take back over in a few years and [bleep] up the economy again and I'll have lots of free time to catch up on the shooting and casting I'm missing out on. Least liberals are good for something.

On the bright side, Summer's here, Rum's on sale, Ice is still free and only 2 more payments left on the highball glass.
Google it.

Sammo, still waiting on pics of that Versatile, big bud wannabe. Rented cows in the background are a plus!

Just got in from a glorious day of cruising around in the ol' Versastyle....

I do love those old fuuckers, especially the 875, it has pretty decent power. Or as my dad says cheap horsepower.

Only a couple more payments.....grin



This morning.



The fleet a couple years ago.





We don't really farm that much so $300-400k tractors ain't happening!

And at least with the old chit you can still work on 'em a little if need be.



Hey man be a little more careful when you're hanging pictures, that looks slightly painful!

I have carried a lot of different rifles when back-packing, but the one that is still a favorite with me may be odd there days for the purpose. But it's still one I like to take.

The M-1 Garand.

I sling it to carry, or I break it down and put the 2 pieces in the pact at times. I have carried it a lot in the last 35 years on many back-country pack trips in high country and steep mountains.

Most folks look for something short and light --- and I have done that too, but I still have to say the M-1 is my favorite packing rifles.

No good reason, but I like it.

Late 70's vintage? 250hp? Cool old tractors. I'm with you, prefer the old [bleep] you can still work on. Seeing alot of Fendt here locally. The Mennonites like them for the high road gears. Beats the hell out of a horse and buggy.

It's an '83 or '84?

And the Cummins has been turned up to ??? horsepower?


It pulls that 40' drill around no problem but will run a little hot in tough conditions.

Nothing fancy but it gets the job done!

Great pics! Montana in the springtime is spectacular.

That was a good era for machinery. My big lathe is early 80's... fantastic machine. It was kind of the end of Ye Olde Ways of doing stuff.

Cars were absolute POS's then, of course. Well, my '79 Honda was ok. My '79 Chev Scottsdale was crap though.

WTF happened to our little buddy? Is he off hard-charging or something?

I'll feign my GREAT "surprise",that not one of you Window Licking DUMB Fhuqks has turned a lick. What were the "odds". Congratulations?!? LAUGHING!

Opened some Mail when I hit the house yesterday,to get the ball rollin',but am anxiously awaitin' (2) more Canon Pro DSLR's to arrive. Mebbe tomorrow?

Anywhoo...Loomis took care as per their Expeditor Service,though I had to rake their Phone Dude over the fhuqking coals to get his mind right,on how I've broken enough GLX's that I'm done with the pieces of schit. Told him I had to "down grade" to GL3,in order to UPgrade and that really fhuqked his pointy head up. I'd liken it akin,to you STUPID Fhuqks trying to talk about the Outdoors,with your versions of "knowledge","experience" and "results". Hint. laughing!

All is right in THE Force now.




Mosta the Terminal Tackle order arrived. NO Joy on the Owner Micro Mosquito's,as they straighten right THE fhuqk out on enraged Steelhead. Seen it. Hint. Laughing!



Done purty good on the TERMINAL Terminal Tackle and will try to bolt some up tonight,after Bear Hunting.



Got a splash of rain,but am doing The Monsoon Dance and would love a Noah-esque event. Bokeh...bitch.



Only caught 20 on the new rod today,which suplized me,given the time of year. No Pickles,but it weren't straight Peanuts either. New rod hooked up on it's first cast and that always makes for nice video.



Need to do some PUKE Hot feesh coat laundry,grab a few rifles and go gawk Bears.

You Do NOTHING Kchunts be certain to set on the sidelines,swoon fences and practice telling yourselves that you "could too".

Bless your hearts.

Laughing!.................

Haven't seen a (rented)cow in the last 4 days....
(farming is like a vacation)
