Pygmy

Perhaps you should put that MINI grunt tube away and try the MAGNUM....

Black tape, or duct tape make good insurance...I have shot through it a number of times and never seen an effect on accuracy, including some 200 yard plus shots on some of my out of state hunting trips....

Get well soon to you, Kathy and the family from Sis and I ....You know we love you guys...

TC III 's beautiful post reminds me of my one and only fishing adventure in Colorado... Three of us were bowhunting elk near Cimmarron CO, and the hunting was best early mornings and late afternoons... I drove up to the headwaters of the Cimmarron about mid day and it was full of spawning brook trout.... They would hit ANY fly with ANY presentation, as long as they did not SEE me...I could drag dry flies upstream and they would hammer them... I wanted to take a few back to camp for a meal and the limit was crazy high, like maybe 14 or 16 fish per day... I kept enough 8-10 inchers for a nice meal in camp...

Obviously you have never dated a Rathbone girl......

Bullheads are called horned pout in parts of New England, hence the "horns".... Never heard common eels called anything put eels... I have eaten them a few times, and they are quite good... No bones other than the ribs and spine, and a flavr similar to bullheads or small catfish...

The "V" in Vmax stands for VARMINT !! Sure, you can stick one in a deer's rib and get a quick kill, but here are SOOO many better choices of bullets and chamberings... ESPECIALLY if using them in situations where you may not get a perfect stationary broadside shot, such as deer drives...

Welcome aboard, Pilgrim !!

I had a Ruger tang safety M77 in .338.... Very accurate, but it kicked the snot out of me.... I had it ported and that reduced the recoil some but then it was loud as hell Darn near deafened a hunting partner who was lying on the tundra beside me when I shot a caribou... I finally peddled it and bought a 9.3 x 62....It handles big bullets well out to 300 yards and doesn't scramble my ( meager) brains nearly as badly shooting from the bench..

Nope....I'm a brunette...Or at least I used to be when I had hair....

Farm fed fatty.... Reminds me of my younger days.... Nothing like a fat, sweaty blond in a haymow on a hot afternoon....<< SIGH >>....

The dingleberry tree has fragrant brown fruit suspended from a curly, hairlike strand....

I think it's a dingleberry tree.....

Log City Meats in Dundee....

Poor Buckles never stood a chance......<<SIGH >>......

The " Queen ".... You mean bees are gay too ??...Damn !! That must HURT..!!........

Especially the liver.....And the testicles....

Gun...There's a reason the Indians lost....

Welcome aboard, Pilgrim !!.....

Happy Birthday, My Friend !!....Hope ya get lucky on your birthday...One way or another..Hehehe....

IMHO , all forms of calling are effective in early season, except perhaps hard loud rattling... Back when I was bowhunting my main strategy involved calling rather than sitting over food sources, and my hunting buddies and I called in lots of bucks pre-rut with grunting and light rattling sequences...

I'm heading out squirrel hunting in a few minutes on public land.... If there is anyone parked near the spot I want to hunt I'll just go elsewhere to try to avoid interfering with any deer hunters....

Hard to beat 'em...Just be sure to have a spare O ring or two... I have one about the same vintage, but it's a magnum receiver with a full choke 3" BBL...Had a CL fully rifled slug barrel but I sold it to a member here after rifles became legal for deer in the areas I hunt..

" FREE"....???.....

It could be a replacement M 11 barrel....At one time there were many replacement parts available from Numrich Arms and others, especially for for guns like the Rem M 11 which were used in the military in WWII and probably afterward...
