Funny Ram Outdoorsman Commercial

No its 20mm anti armor rifle here's a site about it, Like the pic. at the bottom that compares a 50cal and a 20mm. Must be one hell of a good scope to take that. I really like the truck accidentally shot by an f-16's 20 mm vulcan. Imagine what a 30 mm would do off the wart hog!!!!! http://www.vincelewis.net/20mm.html oh what the heck for you viewing pleasure A10 Run Against Taliban Hideout A-10 strafing run on a Taliban postion also starring Tom Hanks and I just love this one, 20 mm apachie Never knew what hit 'em.

I havent seen anything with antlers since the 1st day of gun.

use to see 20 to 30 at a time in Louisiana.

It's in the 2nd post

Spent 4 hours friday and 5 hours in the pouring rain Saturday walking trails, digging through thick bedding areas, walking fields and skirting fencelines. Was completely soaked from head to toe. And do you think I could have atleast found a spiker. No!!!! > Lots of manure, tracks, and deer running everywhere. Got excited a few times when I saw white up ahead only to find pcs of bone. Stupid shed's ;D

They capture them to feed the wild out of them and castrate the males. It makes them taste better. Hunted them in Lousiana and Alabama. Locals would corral up whole herds and fatten them up and castrate them, to butcher them latter. Shot a 300lbs sow and a 150 lbs boar. The sow was delic. I should have left the Boar in the woods was a waste of money butchering. Smelled like pig piss when you would cook it, stink up the whole house. Ended up putting it in the land fill.

Well one thing I can tell you is it's really bad for the tree's around my hunting plots. The bucks rubbed the crap out of them this yr. As far as nutrition go's I think they did pretty well getting fat off my plot. Agree it's better not to directly hunt a plot but I usually hunt within seeing distance incase something shows up before dark so I can see whats on it. This yr I was kicking myself a few times for not hunting right on the plot with several bucks in the 130's showing up. Took every ounce of willpower not to set right on the plots after that. I tried to work the outside 100 yrds trying to intercept a cruising buck but just couldn't connect this yr. Can't wait till this yr need to make some adjustment's to the plot though. I think more oats and rye and less brassicas in the hunting plots.

This was in the local paper today http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20110417/NEWS01/104170350/Invasion-feral-hogs-poses-problems-N-Y-?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE

Red hots my favorite on everything and like to put Tabasco on popcorn. Anyone into Horseradish.

I was looking for something to put on deer meat one time since I had run out of my fav steak sauce and came across my roomate at the times Daves insanity sauce. I put a health drop on my finger and put it in my mouth. Just about dropped me to my knees it was so hot, pert neer burned my damn face off. An hour later after the burn had killed every nerve in my mouth and I could no longer feel anything I read the back to it. It say's 2 drops per gallon of chili. ??? So this bottle sits in the refridge for a few months and everyone forgets about it. Well my roomate and a friend of his went over to a local bar and got liquored up real good and stumble back in around 3am and decide to cook some deer meat. They get done cooking it up and our friend is rummaging through the fridge looking for something to put on it and grabs the dave's without my friend seeing him and smothers it with sauce. Just as he's forking a huge mouthfull of this putrid chemical waste into his mouth my roommate notices the bottle on the counter see's his plate drenched in it and go's to slap it out of his hand but it was to late and our friend got the entire inside of his mouth coated with Dave's insanity sauce. I woke up to a blood curdling scream, came running out of my room expecting to see a murder and saw my friend laying on the ground writhing in agonny. We got him to his feet and made him wash his mouth out with milk ( usually seems to take the heat of or make it bareable atleast) But after a gallon of milk was used to rinse his mouth out it still burned for an hour, almost had to take hime to the hospital. He said stuff tasted funny for a week.

I can honestly say I have never hunted a food plot I have put in. I like to set on trails 100 yrds above the current one I work. The bucks travel these trails scenting for does on the plot below. I try to stay off the plots, I want them to feel safe there and I hop around with the climber on trails coming to the plots.

Broadheads for bad shot's thats all these are. I use low profile heads that only cut 1inch and have never had a well placed shot fail to bring down an animal. A one inch hole through both lungs kills just as fast as a 3 inch hole just a bit less gore.

I guess from my research ive conducted on the matter most bolts seemed to have come from handheld crossbows which would explain the lack of penetration. Which would make more sense, I doubt a shoulder fired crossbow shooting 300 fps would stick in a cat. With that amount of energy it would roll a cat pretty good and keep on going. And most were found to be from rotten kids who needed there azz beat. Sit's I highly doubt the pics of the canadian geese are from hunting. Maybe someone tired of them crapping on thier lawn and sticking them with a field point. A bow at 60lbs with a broadhead can blow throught the ribs of a moose I highly doubt a goose would be much of a challenge for it. Though I do not speak from experience on the matter, never had the urge to shoot a goose with a bow.

I plant hunting plots to "bait if thats what you want to call it" deer off the neighboring property's and kill them. Neighboring propertys are all farmers fields which is where the deer spend most of there time. our prop, is all wooded Mountains and a small grown over field with little food except acorns. I like rye, oats, rape and turnips for most of the plots. Problem is the doe population is to high so they usually clean it out after the 1st frost and I am not able to hunt over them. Plan this yr to make a few spring/summer plots of chickory, clover in another area also. So we'll see how that go's.

Iv'e seen deer run straight up and down rock cliffs on Murry Island in the St Laurance River. I'm talking, it took me quite a while to climb over and this deer did it in seconds. We call them mountain goats. If a deer wants to go there it will get there.

Whats up with cats and people who own cross bows? Last yr we had 3 cats Here in Binghamton NY that were found running around with bolts in them and now today there is a story on Fox about a cat in California with a bolt in its head. Anyone else seeing anything where they live? Not the publicity we need.

Kind of like Obamas birth certificate, if you've got one why not just show it to shut everyone up. Kind of make's you think huh?

Sorry to say it, time to move to a different area. It has always blown my mind that hunters have to pay for our stateland use but others do not. In Alabama everyone had to buy a $5 management areas permit for upkeep of the land. But they also had camping areas and bathrooms on there management areas and food plots and timber companys took care of the land. The local NY environmentalist wakos would crap themselves. They also stocked all the lands with pheasants and qauil. Everyone always say's the southerners area ignorant because of the way they talk but who's looking dumb now.

I have had small bucks do this to me before, where I walked right by them while they laid there like a statue. Makes me wonder how many monsters I have been walking right past. Need to get some good binos, slow down and study the terrain a little better I guess. My problem is I get tired after 4 hours of still hunting and the eye's get strained and I get careless. My buddy told me he knew of a giant buck that use to live in a thick median on interstate 81 every yr during gun season. He just happend to spot him when he was looking out the window while his wife was driving one yr. He said he use to take a special trip every yr to see if he was there and three yrs in a row he was. He didn't see him again after the 3rd yr presumably he was harvested or got blasted by a 18 wheeler The ones with a few seasons under their belt are almost impossible to kill. I especially like the part where even a group of drivers can miss a few bucks because they know thier own back yrd so well. One of my other buddies was in a drive with 15 guys pushing a 50 acre lot with a deep depression that ran right down the middle of the property and onto the neighboring property. my buddy was positioned about40 yrds from the depression and could hear deer running but couldn't see anything then he caught a glimps of antlers bobbing up over the lip of the depression. mHe ran over and couldn't see anything the deer was gone. Thier was a light snow so he followed the tracks back and thier was a bed in some thick briars that he could lay in. the deer laid thier so he could see around himself and drop into the depression to escape unseen. I can only imagine howmany times he had done that. They gave it a week and tried it again with my buddy posted on the lip of the depression and he never came through the jig was up and the buck had moved on. ;D

Interesting article on Bucks with nerves of steal. A famous Michigan study documented what happened when hunters were allowed into a one-square-mile enclosure over a seven-year period. The area held an average population of 26 whitetail deer per square mile, 20 percent of which were antlered bucks. The deer had never been previously hunted. The results were astounding. In the first hunt it took six experienced hunters 124 hours just to see their first buck. Think about that the next time you aren't seeing deer on a spot you were sure held plenty of animals. You may not be wrong about the spot. Your hunting methods, or lack of luck, may be another story. http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/tactics/disappear_0926/index.html

Sit and wait is for the birds, If you run and gun with a fish finder or a valexar and find structure and some fish you can clean up pretty well everytime you go out, depending on the body of water of course. I've ice fished some lakes that I wore myself out drilling holes and never got a touch all day long. Makes for good sleeping that night though.

Interesting article on baiting from Petersons Bowhunting. Pretty much agree's with my own observations about hunting over bait in LA. 1. Deer will not move during the day to bait but will gladly move in at night and clean you out unless you are hunting tame deer on a texas ranch. 2. Big bucks will more than likely not visit your setup during the daytime either but like all things in the hunting world sometimes a blind squirrel will find a nut. This doesn't mean it works. http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/tactics/PB_Baiting_1008/index.html

That thick and nasty spot sounds interesting and probably full of deer once the lead fly's. Sounds like a good place to get into and cut your own secret trail system. Doesn't have to be wide just wide enough to get through. I would make it so it's not visible from the exterior either by walking in 20 yrds and then making the trails. Deer are lazy and will look for the easiest way and walk down your trails to a pre determined ambush spot. If its big enough you could cut several ambush spots out and if its as nasty as you say you could probably set up a ground blind in there and no one will find it.
