What does that have to do with boats?
Well we can't hunt on sundays here; so giving up my monday-tuesday bird hunting to get the boaat out of the 1 mile underground mine. Because of the virus hoax, I have to make an appointment and then have them find my boat and bring it out. when I get it hooked up, will tow to lake, 150 miles. then change oil, gear oil, and new prop. Drive back tueday evening, hunt wed. Boats are a lot of work.

BOATS ARE A LOT OF WORK!!!!!
Ours opened the 13th. Have not been out once yet. LONG drive to find turkeys that I can shoot, in Montana, from here. I have a tag but I think it will be a fall thing. Sometimes where we beer hunt we find turkeys. I wonder what an 8mm rem mag will do to a turkey??? "Day 2 retirement"

any pics of a turkey hit with an 8mm mag would like a tornado of feathers covered with blood.

I've shot many with the 7mmRM, all head shots. A body shot just wastes ammo and a good dinner. Don't have to worry about nibbling on BB's with a rifle.

IBD, same here for spring wobbler. Fall we can snipe them....just not as cool as smearing crap all over us and hiding in a bush making funny noises.
A bird on the table doesn't care if it was put there by a boolut, shot or those nifty switch-bladed flying machete's. This brings me back to the wife.... Hunting is the ethical way of dispatching a critter to eat right? Then they say it's unfair to use a gun. So I equal the playing field and just say I'll reach out the window and strangle the bastar** as they dig through the flower bed outside...….well that's just cruel and unethical...….just no pleasing folks. |

Got out at 5am; opened at 5:45. Perfect day, no moon, 39oF, clear sky.
had 24 birds fly down at 5:55. Too many hens. had 6 hens in decoys; talked to 5 Toms. One tom at 55 yards. 2 toms at 100 yards. all toms were linked to hens. toooo many hens. 5 deer all withing 40 yards; one came in 7 yards and licked my plastic decoy! love???? No Sunday hunting, no hunting afte noon for the first 2 weeks. No stalking or run n gun allowed. only calling. Can move toward any bird you hear. Actually I love it. Most guys here cheat. Tired, just ate lunch...might need a knap!

#1? Deer licking the decoy. hmmm...On WTAJ today Bear, deer in Portage found dead with Rabbies. Was it hangry?
#2? The knap? Tired or messy lunch? Maybe a nice lunch of acorn butter on corn bread while turkey hunting is in order? |
