![[Linked Image]](https://s20.postimg.org/4lfiukcrx/contest.jpg) 2018 contest weekend. I had a terrible case of the misses Friday night or the pile would have been way more impressive.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Congrats, Jeff

Congrats, Jeff Fortunately, or unfortunately, there is no Mesquite in this part of Texas. Plus, that was the rankest, stinkingest OLD boar I have ever seen. His tusks were worn almost down beyond his lips. Don't have any idea how old he was, I just knew he wasn't going to get butchered by me. Coyote bait for a couple of days is all he was. Ed

Shot a porcupine last weekend with my 38-44. Lyman 358156 over 7gr of Unique and the quills were raining down.
We never had the damn things around here when I was growing up and now they’re getting to be pretty common. My aunt’s rancher boyfriend says every time he works cattle he has a couple with a face full of quills.

What’s the deal with the golfballs and zip ties on the dogs? Making sure they are a fresh kill in the contests.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

What’s the deal with the golfballs and zip ties on the dogs? They announce a code @ dusk the night the contest starts. We have to write that code on the ball and position it to the back of the mouth, then crush the jaw closed hard enough the ball can't be pulled or spun. Supposed to keep people honest, but I still have my doubts.

Supposed to keep people honest, but I still have my doubts.. Contests tend to bring out the worst in people. I hunted a few in No. NV back in the 70's that a Bar in Ely put on. It was basically Elko vs Ely and both sides cheated like hell. I lost interest.

took the mighty .17 Remington for a walk yesterday. Found a few willing fur balls. Only had to leave one behind due to mange. But the buzzards and the worms gotta eat too! ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4748/40034281602_24dc7e0e7e_z.jpg) DSCN1372 by Tim Richard, on Flickr

Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

TRnCO, what always surprises me about your pictures is how uniform the colors seem to be on your dogs. Ours are all over the place on the east coast.

how uniform the colors seem to be on your dogs true we don't see much color variation. Every now and then will see a red/strawberry blond color or a darker variation of the usual, but not often.

TR, did you pop any right at home? It's been 3 or 4 months since I shot one behind the house. The last two I shot here were both mangy.
