Pygmy

I'm glad they got it on film... That big dude copped a feel when he tackled me.....Sumbitch !!

Me too …. " Cut the cards … Not THAT way, ya DURN GALLOOT !!" " Rabbits is SO STUPID !!" " DAFFY... YOU'RE taking WENTWORTH to the ZOO !! "

Ever seen a grown man naked ?

DAMN !! I wish I could lay in a kiddy pool and have five pretty young ladies tend to me.. Lucky fish....

Any froglegs I have taken locally have been wonderful....Dusted in flour and sautéed in butter they are moist and tender, and taste so good I would hesitate to compare them to anything else..They are also very easy to clean..Cut the legs off where they join the body and the skin slips off as easily as a latex glove... I have NOT had good luck with restaurant or store bought frog legs...I think they may come from southeast Asia. but the ones I have tried are NOT the same as our local frogs, and some I have tried were downright nasty...

When I fished for halibut in Alaska with a friend who was a local,, he had an orange plastic club on board, weighted on the business end with lead, that looked like something a bouncer in an Anchorage strip club might keep behind the bar.... We would get a 60 to 80 pound halibut up to the boat, and he would gaff it up over the gunwale, and hammer the CRAP out of it's head with that club, then slide it into the boat...A lot of the charter boats shot them at boatside with a .410 or a 20 gauge, but my buddy said that was mostly a stunt for the tourists.... In any case, it was best to have a 50 to 200 pound fish immobile before you slide it aboard, because if it is flopping it could easily break somebody's leg or knock them over board...

Years ago, on the Finger Lakes, everyone had a billy club aboard, usually 15 inches long, because that was the minimum legal limit for trout/landlocks....Net 'em, whack ,em on the head and throw them in the box.. Nowadays there is much more C& R...

<< YAWN>>….

Go for it, Stormy...I'm sure it will work at least as well for you as any other deer rifle you've ever owned....

MY kinda girl.....Smells like fish on BOTH ends !!

Hey TF !! Where did you get the cool picture of Treeguy, Robhuntfish and me ??

Nice fish, Chris..That steep forehead indicates a slab gill....

that is true...

This started as a discussion about the M1 carbine, evolved into a discussion about the M1 Garand which Stormy obviously knows nothing about, and ended up as a discussion about the .308 vs the 30-06.... I think I will go out in the garden and eat worms..Better than this discussion..I should have known better..<<sigh>>...

I agree that in a bolt action rifle, the 30-06 is more versatile than a .308.... However, we were discussing the M1 Garand, which I maintain that due to certain design features is NOT superior to ANY .308 rifle, regardless of the action type....As much as I love the M1, it is what it is....

Better "BULLET" selection than the .308 ??? They use the same bullets....The only advantage the 30-06 has over the .308 is with bullets of 180 grains and heavier due to a larger case capacity... And the gas system of the M-1 is designed for medium rate burning powders and bullets in the 150 to 168 grain weight..Decent ballistics with bullets heavier than that require slower burning powders, which can bend op rods... So how much do you really know about the M1 ???

Yes, but it it is chambered for the 7.62 x 51, which is substantially shorter than the 7.62 x 63, and dimensions are appropriately smaller, while performance is similar...

It looks ugly and unwieldy as hell....Be tough to defend yourself in a prone position with that monstrosity...I'm guessing the advantage of the xtra mag capacity would be far outweighed by the disadvantages....

Yeah, It's a shame....The #4 was unissued, and the #1 was probably the nicest WWI vintage I have ever seen

Sadly, he has since sold them...

No problem, Jay....Just have your buddy equip you with a snorkel, tie ropes on your wrists and ankles and use you for a drift sock... As long as you are licensed and participating, you should be able to legally keep a two man limit..

I just told the pretty little girl at the gate I wanted a site that smelled like a Saigon whorehouse...She gave me site # 69.....

Yeah, I'd like to go along and help him out, but my wrist is still sore from catching all of those sheepies...

DAMN !!...And just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water.....

My buddy in Canada has a SWEET Winchester, probably the nicest I have ever seen....But you probably would not want to pay what he would want for it...Then there is the expense and red tape required to get it back across the border.. A few years back he had an unissued SMLE # 4 still in the mummy wrap, plus a very nice 1915 # 1 SMLE, and he offered me the pair for $300.. Once I found what I would have to go through to import them, I declined...
