Suspect he would've been expelled within the first hour of a Dale Carnegie course, but then I'm just using my own experience as an example?

Any time every time I offend someone and they suggest I might benefit from such retraining efforts, I tell them none would have me.

Bet them's good eatin. Gut, skin and put on a spit.

Yes and the best part was I could eat all I wanted and not get full.

ggedubya,

Not many know what Pellucidarians are anymore, much less about turning left and following your heart.

I've quoted that one on occasion myself....

A rule I lived by for years...........

and you do, and that counts.

'smoker,

Weather has been tough and I get sidetracked streamside,rather easily.



The Milford's arid propensity,mandates a creekside splash every so often,if only as maintenance.(grin)

No noggins in these parts...you'll haveta wait for Great WaPoozy to again work her "magic".

Laffin'!













Gee',

I'd be the last to slight,that your heart really is in following fence lines aboard your Golf Cart.

The Texas version of everything,is simply [bleep] hilarious!

Wow +P+.











Great WaPoozy,

I admittedly have an inordinate number of perfect days and have seen me jump for joy,in conditions that'd send you slithering back into your hole,to flaunt your Imagination and practice your Pretend. Laffin'!



Hell...I reckon that I can take a purty good lick to boot.



Looking forward to the next installment of all the things you almost did,with all the wares you almost had and from all the places you've almost been.

You "hard chargers" are a [bleep] riot!











brinky,

Nother BWT?!!?

You dumbphuck.










'hunternm,

Here's a pic of a my 3-legged dog.

'Cub,

Didn't [bleep] think so. You Do Nothing Dumbphuckers are a [bleep] riot.

Laffin'!

Thought you had run off and left some hooks to rust. No info on bullets, guns, load, your slipping man. Yall need some more ballistic gack in this thread. Anybody got a chart or something?

[bleep] awesome bear.
The tongue action pic is hilarious.



P.S. the bear is better looking.

Boxer,

Why did you shoot the little one?

And WTF happened to his dickbeater? You guys still use bear traps up there?

Hey Hey, B

ever heard the story of Pat and Mike looking for a bear cub....

The story of Pat and Mike.

When I was just a young�un, my grandpa used to tell �Pat an Mike� stories.

One time he told me about Pat and Mike going hunting for a bear cub.

They got up early one morning and went out into the woods to search for a cub. They figured if they found the right hollow tree, there might just be a cub there. They looked for a good while. Finally found the exact tree they were looking for. Pat stayed on the ground to watch for the mama bear. Mike clambered up the tree to see if there were any cubs in the hollow. Sure enough, there was a cub. So Mike climbs up and over and down into the hollow. He yells down that he�s got the cub. In a few seconds he hollers again. Hey Pat, what darkened da� hole. Pat, sounding out of breath and much closer than Mike would have thought yells back. If the tail hold slips, you�ll see what darkened the hole.

Well at the risk of the "tale" hold slipping............


Went looking for a bear a while back

Looked high



Looked low




Looked hither




And thither



And yes Mabel, wild bears do [bleep] in the���




Talk about being caught �up a tree�



It was a mercy killing.

In reflection, even the bear seemed happy about it.


Seems his bottom incisors were completey broken off on both sides. He could catch stuff but could �bearly� eat it. Prolly would not have made it through the winter. It was a mercy killin�

Anyway, as I mentioned previously,


I�m here,

You�re there.

I�ll grin

Hope you can bear it.

You got a club foot bear.

I got one that needed dentures

"These things we do so others may live" look it up hard charger. I'm not impressed by your "did nothing ass."

Geedub, you have played this thread very well. Seafire should take notes.

Where is your lease located? When I can I get down to our family farm outside of Brady in central Texas. Was down there this weekend clearing brush.

And, to keep it topic related, I've shot a deer or two with a 243. Have yet to shoot anything with a 25-06, but it's on my bucket list.

Laffin'.

She's on a BWT, again.
7-11 had Slurpees 1/2 off.
She thought it was something other than a cold drink.

Boxer - I've got an honest question for you. Always see the photos of your fishin' trips, with a rifle along. I'd guess the rifle is because there are things that just need to be shot, time to time, such as a belligerent bear.

Normally when I'm fishing, up in Alaska too, I carry a stainless magnum revolver, and am fairly good with it. It's a lot easier to fish with the revolver on my belt than with a rifle slung over the shoulder, at least for me.

You choose the rifle over the revolver for your fishin' trips in bear country? Why?

Thanks, Guy

Seems to me Boxer likes to shoot rifles. A lot.

First deer I ever had mounted. IIRC it was two days before my birthday in mid December. We were hunting in Junction, Texas. I had a borrowed bolt action 243. IIRC it was 1970 and I was turning 19. It was over 90 degrees that day in December. Big fat guy had me walking the draws while he stayed up high. Figured I'd flush the deer and he could get a shot and did not have to walk so much. I flushed this buck and it took off like a streak. He shot and missed. I figured I was good to go. Shot him on a dead run (the deer, not me) at about 75 yds. He was quartering away. Hit him in the spine. He dug dirt with his antlers and did an endo. I was pumped. I'd seen turkey the day before, but the turkey were too far for a shotgun. The men in camp didn't believe I could shoot and hit a turkey with a rifle. After that chip shot on the deer, I had no problem carrying a rifle. Can't remember if I've shot a deer with a 243 Win. since


Fast forward near 40 years and here is one I took just before the end of legal shooting hours December 26th of that year. He made the mistake of stepping out on a game trail I was watching. Nailed him with my Cooper Jackson Game rifle in 25-06 Rem. @ +/- 80 yds, using 110 gr. Accubonds. He ran about 50 yds and piled up. Kept the rack, for a European. At this stage of the game I've BTDT on mounts.

GeeDubya gots a question for you,how big was that bear you killed ie weight and what did it square out?

That's a good looking deer and a beautiful rifle. That stock has some nice character to it. I also dig that Merkel single shot above. Some day I'll get one, until then it's just the Ruger No.1 RSI.
