Pygmy

Have they changed the PA elk lottery ? Last time I checked it was 10% non res.....They were issuing about 40-50 tags at that time. so it meant that a max of 4-5 non-res could draw tags, out of 10,000 Plus applicants.... I didn,t bother to apply, regardless of the price...If I want to shoot an elk I'd rather hunt them in the west, rather than shoot one in somebody's back yard in Benezet, Pa, regardless of HOW big it might be..

I throw away my winter underwear and put on my spring ones....Along about the middle of gobbler season, I quit wearing them until October...

No, Greenie, he's buried in the concrete UNDERNEATH the station...Hehehe....

Great info, THANKS and keep it coming !!

The Mermaid and I are considering touring Nova Scotia for a few days this summer...I have traveled through the province on my way back and forth to Newfoundland, but never spent any time exploring it...We prefer quieter, off the beaten track type places rather than the commercialized, touristy places... Anybody have any suggestions about where to go and what to see in Nova Scotia..?...I hope to eat LOTS of seafood while I am there, of course...<<smile>>......

I LOVE it....Wait a minute....I thought you said poontang.....Never had poutine, despite spending considerable time north of the border..

Marty Stouffer...Is he the guy that makes those good frozen dinners ? Every bachelor loves Marty.... I grew up watching Marlin Perkins...." Say, Jim.....Why don't you and I wrestle a 30 foot anaconda in a bed of quicksand this afternoon ? " Then there was Steve, the Crocodile Hunter...If you tempt fate enough times, sooner or later it catches up with you...RIP....

Happy birthday, Guys !! Jerry, you should have stopped at the legion this afternoon...I'd have bought you a birthday drink !

We talking Monica Lewinsky ? I heard recently that Monica celebrated her 50th birthday.. And it seems like just the other day she was running around the oval office on her hands and knees putting EVERYTHING in her mouth !

A co-worker of mine used to make liverwurst every year...He said there aren't too many things more disgusting than putting a raw liver through a meat grinder....

He must have been a southern boy...They fry EVERYTHING !!..

Hehehehehe...Seems like most EVERYBODY is a kid compared to me anymore. including my doctor.... Reminds me a George Burns quote...." An interviewer asked him what his doctor thought about his drinking and smoking... George said " My doctor's DEAD"....

I am a sardine fan myself, ...In fact I think I started a sardine thread a year or two go... My current favorites are Ligo brand with chile in tomato sauce...The Mermaid's DIL is Phillipina and gets them for me for 99 cents a can at one of the oriental stores...

" If you want to do anything and can afford it, do it while you can, because you never know".... Dolly, Pygmy's Mom after Pygmy's Dad had a debilitating stroke one month after he retired.... Dad seldom took time for himself and was always planning to take more time to enjoy himself after he retired...

I never realized that wedding bands were such a popular item to lose UNINTENTIONALLY... I lost mine in a muskrat hole, or thereabouts...I was setting traps and feeling in undercut pond banks for den entrances..When I got home, my wedding ring was gone, no doubt lying in the mud in some muskrat hole....Never replaced it...About 30 years later I got divorced, so I did not need it anymore, anyhow ....

Maybe I miscounted....I took my hunter safety class in 1962 and got my first small game license in 1964 and my first deer license in 1966....I'll be 68 in March, and WISH the hell I felt as fit as I did at 48... At 48 I was still carrying heavy loads of moose, caribou, elk and mule deer on my back over rough terrain...About 10 years ago I went through some major life changes and I ain't the hombre I used to be...I can still get to the top of the mountain, but it takes me longer, and if I kill something, I'll probably need a little help to get it home....<<sigh>>.....

Deer liver is my favorite...Most other livers ( beef & pork) are too strong for me but deer liver is always mild... I slice it 3/8 to 1/2 half thick and take out all the veins, etc... Dust in flour with salt & pepper....Fry in bacon fat until nicely brown on both sides...I also sautee a bunch of sliced onions in a separate pan in either butter ir bacon fat and serve with the liver... So good it makes you wanna slap yo MOMMA !!!

Rattler....You have hunted 48 seasons ? Same as me....You OLD FART !!....Hehehehe...

My experience is very limited...I have only intentionally "broken in" one of my rifles, and it turned out to be very accurate, but I have had several other rifles that were just as accurate that were simply sighted in, cleaned and used.. IFRC the process I used was brushing the bore after every shot for the first 20 shots, and then after every five rounds for the next 40 rounds or so....

I have tried to buy COMPONENTS online...Just plain bullets..And been turned down.... Cheers to the companies that WILL ship to NY, rather than cowering under Andy's safe law.... Prince Andy has done all in his power to make gun owners second class citizens....

And you didn't salvage the LIVER ??,,,DAMN !!!...

I was duck hunting with my uncle, who had only hunted ducks once or twice in his life. After a slow morning on one swamp, we drove to another to check it out and spotted a single bird swimming around at the far end.. It seemed to be the only game in town, so we planned a stalk.. We emerged from cover within range of the bird and I saw my uncle standing, gun ready, looking at it...I immediately realized it was a coot rather than a duck, not worth shooting, so I said to Uncle Rodger, " Coot".... BANG !! He plastered the bird on the water....Somewhat taken aback, I said " Didn't you hear me say it was a coot ?" Uncle Rodger, who didn't know a coot from a canvasback, said " Coot ? I thought you said SHOOT !! " True story.....

Tell that to John Holmes....Never mind..he's dead....Too much strain on his heart from carrying around all that....errrr..never mind.

You still have a live mother-in-law..?? Mine kicked the bucket many years ago, God rest her soul... She never did LIKE me.....
