Pygmy

Reminds me an old expression..." Nervous as a porcupine in mating season".......

Her backSIDE isn't bad, either.....<<GRIN>>...

Way to hammer em Lee !!!! Still running that Burrville Bomber ?? BTW....I want to tell you once again how much it meant to me to have you and Judy, Andrew, and Larry show up at Sis's service...

Those are some slob perch....I'm heading to Cayuga tomorrow with a couple of buddies..

If I had a dog that ugly I'd shave his a** and make him walk backwards... Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun....

I agree with Bugs, those suckers are YEW-GLEE !... John Browning is rolling over in his grave....

Thank you very much for your comforting words and thoughts....

It is very popular in Europe and Africa... As Lawdwaz said it' ballistic equivalen to the .280 Rem and I can attest to the effectivness of that round, having used my .280 to kill everything from woodchucks to Alaska bull moose over the last 40 years...

I believe it was, Eddie..

I just watched it again...What a great depiction of coming of age in the 1960s.... The little town I grew up in was so similar, albeit on a smaller scale... Not a smart phone in sight, either...hehehehe.. We even had our semi- outlaw fraternity, " The Shifters".....Nearby Corning had two, The Viscounts and The Epicureans....

I got a significant burn on my leg from carrying one in my front pants pocket... glad it didn't shift a couple of inches to the left......

Remember the old Jon-E handwarmers ? They even had an opening in the metal cap so you could light your cigarrette...

Nice 'fro, bro....Hehehehe.... Back in the 70's my sister borrowed my truck for a couple of days and left me with her little two seater sports car...It was bow season, and of course I had to pick that time to kill a buck.. I had to call a buddy of mine to come with his truck and haul my deer home for me.....

As Al said, doves and pigeons taste similar, but pigeons tend to be much tougher than doves...They are easy to clean, just pull the skin off the breast and cut the breast away... One good way to do pigeons breasts is in a crockpot...A layer of breasts, a layer of sliced onions, salt and pepper...Then pour a cup or two of dry red wine over the meat and cook it all day on low....It almost reminds me of roast beef....

It was minus 4 in Dogpatch this morning....I had to set up the brakes on the truck to avoid hitting a polar bear on the way over to the Legion this afternoon.... If I was on my way HOME, I wouldn't have thought a thing of it.....

Is that an Edsel ?......

Cool......Back in the 1970s a buddy and I killed a bunch calling at night with an electronic caller that used 45 RPM records... Best night we ever had we shot 8....Rarely called a red into shotgun range, they seemed to be more wary than the greys....They would come to where we could see thier eyes and squall, but seldom came within shotgun range...Greys were bringing $50 a pelt and reds were bringing $75....We killed a lot with a 20 gauge side by side and #4 shot, which was effective out to about 35 yards, but when the prices went higher we used my Browning A-5 3" mag to take advantage of those 40 and 50 yard shots...

We had 20 foot drifts here in Dogpatch....It took a town employee, ( who happened to the the Mermaid's father) two days to bust through a 20 foot drift about 150 yards south of our house, with a grader....

The bear is Boo-Boo......The buck's a dandy....<<grin>>...

If I could only have one scope it would be a fixed 4X Leupold....Actually I have two of them, both bought at gun shows for about $125 IIRC...I have used them all over the continent for whitetails, mulies, pronghorns, moose, caribou and hogs, On rifles as heavy as .338 Win mag and 9.3 x62 mauser, at ranges from point blank to 400 yards, with absolutely no complaints or problems.... Actually, my present main whitetail rifle wears a Burris 2 x7, which is the only variable I have on any of my rifles...Ther is a story behind it.. About 40 years ago, Ron Shirks had Rem M700 Mountain rifles for sale, and if you bought a scope with it, you got free rings, bases, and mounting...I wanted a Mountain Rifle in 7-08 and I told them I wanted a Leupold fixed 4X on it... They didn't have the Leupold in stock, so I went with the Burris as second choice.. I admit the Burris has been a good scope, though...

I just hide behind a tree and make a noise like a carrot.......

I must be worth a fortune....

Glad to know there is some available;;; However at the rate am expending it I probably have a lifetime supply... I have expended six rounds in the last two years..One round each year to confirm my zero and one round apiece for four deer...

It was 5 degrees according to my truck thermometer on my way home from the Legion This afternoon...I had to hit the brakes to avoid three penguins and a polar bear...

Looks like Saturday night down here in Dogpatch in the early/mid 1960s.....Except for the rabbits.....Hehehehe...
