Taking a break at my jeep... This guy made it known that he doesn't have any identity crisis as he came crashing out of the woods at 50 yards.

Aahh...Hurricane Rachel(?)....somehow, although fittingly, for Commiefornia, must be the new identity of Hurricane Randolph, or Raymond, or other male named Himmicane... Aah hurricane. LOL..

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:....Wrong!!....She just hasn't delivered her wrath...Oh is that going to be expensive. :A Surrender::E Horrified::E Shocked::E Crying::E Crying::E Crying:

I remember those guns, as I too [okay, I still play [(over) mountainman/long hunter, but with real muzzleloarding guns] played Daniel Boone as a kid. But we were too well guarded by too many adults to be able to pull anything like that off. Even using our homemade gunpowder. Yes! One of the...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:......some how the term: A snowball's chance in Hell comes to mind. Your traveling to get away from being a snowball by melting in the heat of Hell; in Phoenix, in December. Could be worse. You could arrive earlier or stay later. Say from June through...

340 Weatherby Mark V 32-20 Winchester 1892 (circa 1894) for small night critters 458WM Remington 799, but the 458WM CZ 550 Magnum may be making the return trip. 45-70 Marlin 38-55 Winchester for some small and medium size PG 375H&H Remington 798 also requires a return trip 16 ga Belgium SxS and...

I'll concede, blue tongue is; A Type of EHD.....of sort... HOWEVER, locally here in SE Kentucky, OMG Don't get me started!, (in Tennessee), blue tongue disease is (considered much the same as comparative to a human getting a common cold) "normal". Whereas this under publicized "brain worm...

LOL....OK..OK...My Bad...I concede....I was absent mindedly strictly thinking dedicated wild meat hunters. I should have included: at least a 5th or 6th freezer for those that are both dedicated hunters & "anglers" (anglers meaning I include all types and (legal) ways to catch fish and...

No room in the freezer..(?)...HHMMM... Philosophically: #1. Going hunting is well worth time being at one with nature and just enjoying that time. #2. It's hunting. Not killing. Just because one calls it going hunting doesn't mean one is going to kill anything. Ok let's get real: #3. Could...
