He was cougaring through some timber, heard something behind him, this bugger was 5’ behind him, turned, swung and fired at the same time hitting it in the face with a 300 win..... the texts started flying immediately, he was damn shaken up.... grin I suspect he may have had to change his drawers after this episode.

There is a huntable population not many miles from me. However it’s LEASED land I have no connections. YET. I really liked the bear FACE SHOT at 5’. DANG. Glad he connected. The 300 WM sure worked. I’m enjoying the pix and stories. Keep em coming. Jerry jwall- * 3100 guy* A Flat Trajectory is Never a Handicap Speed is Trajectory's Friend !!

Well... indirectly. 3 or 4 generations back came from Pa -- Ohio -- to the South. I'm familiar with that expression from my Grandparents. More than from a particular area, I've heard those type of expressions from UNeducated folks. I've smiled several times over the years while watching OLD movies. Some of those expressions were very common. Jerry jwall- * 3100 guy* A Flat Trajectory is Never a Handicap Speed is Trajectory's Friend !!
