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

I can 7-08 and 162.
Maybe I could get by with that?

Zero here, which is fine with me.


The wind can GFY!

That hurt.

I gotta put on my Depends and go to bed now. I don't want to have to get up�.

Who gets up? Doesn't everyone keep a gallon milk jug bedside?

That's cuz you're not a Masonic Mormon...

Yet.


I'm wanna be a bishop when I go LDS.

They get the cute Mormon chicks.......it's called "counseling".
Win/Win.

Sorry Fatjack, got busy returning emails.

Well, most of our modern world revolves around some really complex chemical processes.

Some really smart people have spent generations figuring out how to make this or that chemical, plastic etc. They concentrate on making the products. When it comes time to service it, repair it or deal with unforeseen by-products they are focused on the other side.

Guys like me make our money figuring out to get a hundred tons of crystallized polymer out of a system that ain't supposed to make polymer.

How do you get the metal surfaces inside a petrochem vessel to accept the latest hi-tech tungsten molecular coating.

Some group figures out how to mix asphalt with used tire rubber. Great stuff, as long as it is around 1,000 degrees. I get to figure out how to get it out of the pumps, tanks and pipes.

You take that wonderful Powder River Basin coal, burn it in a power plant, per EPA regulations you get almost no sulfur compounds in the smoke.

Of course when you open a boiler for repairs the residuals turn to concrete in about 8 hours, due to all the calcium and silica. We developed ways to get it out with shaped charges, and some other little things that go boom that we worked out. One led to a patented det cord based product.

I held an ATF Class 30 license for 10 years. After OKC and 9/11 the regs just got out of hand and I turned in the permit and got out that side of our business.

Sorry, I got carried away. In general I find out of the box ways to handle industrial problems. That means I have to go to a lot of plants, usually on emergency basis.

Brad,


perhaps I"m mistaken, but I don't believe that I used the word "hunting" in my response to Ingwe. I believe I said that would "snipe".

However, some folks my have a much more narrow idea of what hunting is.

I'm a rifle looney and a meat hunter. I buy rifles; develop the loads and bullets I will use each year.

Hogs make the perfect test medium for bullets, and as a bonus one can eat them.

In Texas hogs are vermin and pests. They can be �killed� or �hunted� if you will 24/7/365 by any legal means (excludes dynamite).
Some ranchers will escort you off their land if they find out you saw a hog and did not shoot it.



Don't know if you can make it out but there is a hoglet under the feeder @164 yds. As they move constantly and if they are not DRT then you usually don't find them due to the denseness of the terrain. That's why you shoot them just below the ear. That way they drop and paddle.



and we kill them both day



And night

I shoot them over bait,


Then I skin them




Dismember them



And burn and consume their flesh.


I also trap them

and snare them.

In a good year I may kill 50 or so.

If you�re gonna be in the Texas Hill country, drop me a line. Perhaps you could experience the way we �hunt� and enjoy some Texas food and hospitality.

Best,

GWB

PS: Since late September I've spent part or all of 30 days in the stand "hunting". Due to the fact that I have a freezer full of Elk and Bear, and the critters aren't moving I've only taken three hogs. Would you consider enjoying the beauty of God's creation, the dawning and dying of the day, listening to wind and watching it as it ripples the grass a waste of time, or could it be part of hunting?

If there's one thing I have learned on the fire, it is that you should take anything Brad says, think/do the opposite, and you're golden. I'm always amazed at how he keeps coming up with new and amazing ways to be a complete [bleep].

Anyhow, I'm off for Idaho tomorrow for my annual lion hunt with friends. I've got several hides on the wall, so like normal I'll just be a dog handler. After that, it is a full week of killing pheasants and chucker, plus jerking off. I'm excited.

Keep it real, lubed and full of blood. It's the only way to live.

G, I would take you up on that if Brad declines....grin

Just got on looking for some good T & A .

I saw my name.

Did I miss something?

Nice pics today by the way!

Amen! Geedubya! I may not be a full time native Texan, but some things down here are great.

I think it is great that we can take hogs year round, night or day.

Since '03 I have trapped, shot 'em with pistols and everything from the .22lr to the '06.

I bait 'em, stalk 'em, sit blinds some days and spotlight at night. All which I call hunting hogs.

GWB,
You don't need to explain yourself to him. I mean honestly, who would take a guy named "Brad" seriously anyway. And if they do, they're no friends of mine.

So snipe away and kill more free ranging marauding bacon....

More wimmin pics.....

Fine...
