Does anyone else remember the Abbot and Costello routine with two tens for a five?

Here in the city, a suburb of Dallas, we have never seen a rattler in the yard. We have a bunch of little brown snakes with a cream yellow belly which are non-poisonous as far as I know. My wife saw a copperhead once at night when she was watering the foundation of the house. We have a clay type of ...

Batman1939, thanks for the info. I was not sure about my information on the rattles, but it appears that I was close to the target. That is still a big snake.

A genuine WWII BAR in full auto would be great to shoot. TOW-2 missiles are a lot of fun, everyone should be allowed to punch a hole in a scrapped tank with one at 3,000 meters like I did. The M-60 pintle mount in a Slick was fun, but the Slick was slower and smoother than the UH-60 CrashHawk. (Slic...

Congratulations. 19 years ago myfirst was born, and now she can outshoot me sometimes. Great memories teaching her to shoot. You need to make those kind of memories for yourself. Priceless.

No experience with it, but I hope you have a great time.

Sixgun, if your co-worker is that bad, then why treat an innocent snake that badly?

That was a great deal of human ingenuity there. Thanks for that post.

What is that white stuff all over there? I truly don't miss shoveling that stuff just so I could get out of a house as I had to do when I was a teenager. When I was too young to pick up a shovelfull, my Dad and olderbrothers did it, but it became my turn all too soon.

piller

I have a Rossi Puma in .480, and if you think that is not too good, then look up 86er shooting it on youtube as posted by RKRODLE as Fast86er. It is not as nicely done as a Marlin or a Henry, but it works as smoothly as either. I like it really well for what I use it for, a short action pistol calib...

If all you are hunting for here in Texas is our little tiny deer with the outsized antlers, then you don't need anything much bigger than a .223. A .35 caliber would probably do too much damage to these little critters here. On the other hand, I do know one man I used to work with who uses a 7mm Mag...

piller

Still, it is bigger than anything I want to have surprise me. I thought that Rattlesnakes added a new button on their rattle each time that they shed. I also thought that shedding was done based more on available food and growth than on age. Anybody have some better information on when a new button ...

Here in Texas, as I was taught when I renewed my CHL a few months ago, parking lots are not allowed to be gun free zones. CHL holders must leave their gun in the car in a school parking lot if they go inside the school. Students on the other hand are subject to searches of their vehicles. My employe...

Even so, that mule had some strength to pick something that weighs about what I weigh and swing it around. I'm not going to make one mad.

piller

Based on AJMD429's information, I don't see how we can afford free health care as a country. No jokes intended.

piller

Remind me to never tick off a mule.

piller

Paul, that is helpful. How easy is it to clean?

piller

Joe, I will donate a brick of Aguilla Colibri .22 quiet rounds . Can I just bring them with me to the hunt?

piller

Have all of you seen the youtube posting of 86er shooting at that moving target listed as Fast86er by RKRODLE? Rossi Puma in .480 Ruger, 325 grain bullets moving about 1400 fps, and he was hitting that target fast enough to make it sound almost like a semi-auto. I can't say that I have ever seen any...

What is an Ipod? :roll: And, what is a bus? Is it one of them things that folks from outside of the Great State of Texas ride in all together cause they just don't have enough room for everyone to have a car? With all of the Tex-Mex food here in Texas, passing gas is not such a big deal. Sorry for k...

piller

Joe, I'll be looking forward to your report on the testing. If you have it with you on the April hunt, I'll bring some cartridges and targets if you want.

About what I expected from the topic line, but funny as can be anyway.

Ogden Nash wrote, "When called by a Panther, don't anther." Seems like good advice to me. A friend who is a dairy farmer about 15 miles from Manhattan, Kansas regularly sees cat shaped footprints which are 9 to 12 inches in diameter. He showed one to a Game Warden who told him it was a coy...

Growing up in Western Kansas, I learned early than a bull doesn't respect anything unless it has proven itself tougher.

That Lady deserves recognition for her willingness to do the right thing. Good job.

I happened to notice the earplug in your wifes ear. I am glad to see that hearing protection is important to you. I like my 92 clone from Rossi. The design is great.

+1 on the nice rifle. Hope you enjoy it for a long time.

Based on history, the Texas Rangers were very tough and most were excellent shots. One of the places to visit when in Texas is the Ranger Museum in Waco. If coming from the North on I35 just Cross the Brazos at Waco. Sorry, but I couldn't pass up the nod to Billy Walker's song. The Museum is well wo...

I looked a Henry in .30-30 over a few days ago in an Academy Sports and Outdoors store. It cycled smoothly, felt good, fit and finish seemed good, but it was heavier than the Marlin 336C next to it. Does anyone here have one and what do you think of them. I like everything about it but the wieght, a...

Due to insurance companies cutting back on how much they are willing to pay, and the cost of malpractice insurance being in the obscene territory, there are fewer Americans going to become Doctors. Additionally, have you looked at the price of college educations lately, you cannot pay your loans off...

piller

Joe, I will find something to donate again. In the next week or so, I will decide what to donate.

piller

Glad to see that your .30-30 is working. That makes me not quite so worried about whether a Mossberg is worth buying or not.

I own a P85, a Rock Island Armory 1911, and my Wife has a Springfield XD9. All 3 are great and in my experience totally dependable. 1 total jam in the 3 guns and that was in a brand new, never cleaned gun with cosmoline still in it. thousands of total rounds and only 1 jam, those 3 are as reliable a...

My wife and I are Life Members since last year, and my 18 year old daughter is an annual member. Annual bonus time for me might see her upgraded to Life Member.

Thanks for the laughs.

Ruger. If they would make a levergun in .30-30 that was as reliable as when Bill Ruger was still running it, then I would buy it. Why they ignore the .30-30 is anybody's guess.

piller

I'd choose the .44Mag simply due to the heavier bullets available. The .357 is a great cartridge. I just like larger heavier bullet.

piller

Why carry any MGs as they would eat up the ammo too quickly, and back then they weren't in such common use as now. Spray and Pray is nowadays more common than trying to hit the target with the first shot.

piller

Joe, I will get in after dark on Thursday evening. I am bringing my Puma in .480 that I used before, and a Guide Gun. I will wait and think about what I want until I see what is available. If there is an extra Nilgai, that sounds fun, but as I said I will wait.

piller

Nice picture. Sometimes seeing things from back when most things were done right just makes my day a little better.

piller

I taught my wife gun safety and bought her her own. The only downside is that she sometimes outshoots me. AJMD429, I must disagree with you on this topic.

piller

AJMD429, +1

I need to find the link and post it, but he also had glider pilot training in the Air Force from what I read. That, plus the fact that he went back twice to make sure noone was left behind is why I think his military training was so significant.

piller

Glad to hear that you will be OK.
