Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What does 223AI mean?

My wife and Daughter are allergic to bees also,and like you if one is around they are basket cases.

Dad was deathly allergic to bee and wasp stings. I am immune. I find them somewhat more annoying that 'skeeters and slap them firmly when they land on me.

Was taking off on a training flight one day at Ft. Rucker and the wind vent on the H-13 was open due to the balmy Alabama weather. Great big assed Hornet bounced off the wing vent and went down the front of my flight suit.

My student got all excited and tried to...I dunno what he thought he was doing, but he was sort of like swatting at my flight suit. Maybe he thought since I was flying and we were close to the ground he was in charge of hornet swatting? I dunno.

I sorta quick like propped the collective (power/rpm) with my left knee, grabbed the cyclic (control stick) in my left hand and punched him up side the helmet smartly and told him "At Ease!" over the intercom.

Upzipped my suit, the hornet buzzed out and I turned the stick over to God for a moment whilst squashing the chitt out of the hornet with both hands. Out the window with the carcass, and on with the mission.

I don't know if that kid survived the war or not. He didn't seem to have the right disposition for it.

There is no defense better than a solid offense. BE OFFENSIVE!

PS: Whoever posed for that photo, their eye was anesthetized. NO ONE can do that otherwise without blinking. It is an uncontrollable reflex.

I had a small wasp crawl into my left ear canal once. Noisy little phouck...........

Got into a tangle with hornets when I was 12. The body shots weren't bad, but the one right between the eyes sucked. Both eyes were swollen shut for about 24 hours. Wasn't much fun...

You were one cool customer with that hornet in your flight suit.

he handles ants in his pants with equal applomb.....

One can dance with the Devil and get away with it now and again. Even if she has good attorneys.

Dan,

Seriously consider the Gunny or Fox River. I like the handle on the Gunny much better. The Fox River is just a tad short feeling for me.

Go to YouTube and search "virtuovice". He's a Japanese dude and shoots scores of stag every year due to their prevalence and general lack of hunting. He's really into good hunting knives and has made numerous vids of various Bark Rivers and others and shows himself using them in the field to bone out the stag. He's easily got a couple grand or more in BR's. Quite informative...

He's a real nut for the Gunny. He also has a lot of sharpening advice on his vids, plus, he's pretty funny to watch ('hewo, knife people'!).

Post a pic of what you decide on. I'm with you on the D2...mine is used around the kitchen and that's it...

Here's one vid on the Gunny in S35V stainless super steel. He actually likes the A2 versions better...

I'd be the opposite...kinda. Snakes don't bother me too much, especially the non venomous...live and let live (to eat bugs). I rarely see rattlers but given sufficient warning I can tolerate them as they usually leave well enough alone. Bees/wasps/hornets I leave alone and they return the favor...my friends start flailing and going nuts and wonder why they're the ones who get stung...

[bleep] spiders on the other hand...

Good evening gentlemen.

And them that don't lay claim to that title.

Been helping fledave with his wedding plans. PITA

Can't wait to dip my wick into a midget.

Evening, Gruff. It's been a while. Make sure to maximize your midget machinations to make up for doin' Fledave's dirty work...

I try and keep up, but damn you [bleep] put up a lot of pages!

I've been saving my seed for a week. Gonna drown one. Or three.

Such a happy day it's going to be, for EVERYBODY!

Hey, [bleep].
Long time no type.
Hope all is well.

Flava promised me a fresh fatty at the festivities.
Got one roped?

All is wondrous.
Perftct time of year, no skeeters, warming up, unprephukingdictable weather. Love it!

Yeah, but she was talking in Cree so I don't know WTF she was saying.

Yes, it is warming up. Gonna be a muddy mess next week but nobody is complaining!

Should be a decent creek flood tonight(which is just fine too). Warm as [bleep] today(50F), snow really shrunk up.

Sounds perfect.

Cree can nibble hide into the softest buckskin ever. For-skin is cake.
I am Golden.
My Johnson and I are going to tag team the drive and "it".
Thanks.

Barkies are pretty okay, but my favorite user has been this old Effingham era Blackjack Trailguide. Took my last elk apart with it and didn't need anything but a touchup on the strop afterwards.
