Awesome old Lever Gun Picture......

[Rube Burrows]

Don't know that its been posted here before but I found this the other day and WOW. Not only is the picture cool and it has a lever gun......but would you look at the size of that Grasshopper.

I have seen some the size of my palm but it sure would be cool to have some big enough to shoot with my lever gun.

I don't know how authentic the photo is because I have seen the same photo with the writing at the bottom saying it was shot in a different state.......even a different country. Still a pretty neat photo though.

Great picture, glad we don't have any like that. Is that a 92 or 94 src???

[airedaleman]

It's a '94. By the way, I have this bridge in Brooklyn that I'd like to sell,,,

I bet those grasshoppers ran off all the jackalopes in that country.

Hope not.....those things are fun to hunt and shoot at

[rock-steady]

Jackalopes may not seem like much when its just one or two of 'em. But when there a a dozen or more in a pack and all riled up......you need to watch out.

[cshold]

Here in central FL we get HUGE grasshoppers every year. I killed one a few days ago that was at least 5 inches long. My cat will walk outside with me and he is good at finding them for me. He stands over them til I get there and squash them I have often wondered if they would make good bait for largemouth bass?

I gotta call BS.

That fella ain't near stout enough to pick up a hopper that size with one hand.

[JayF in AZ]

I dunno, if all the ichor drained out of them .30-30 holes, it'd probably be pretty light

[Booger Bill]

That grasshopper has more meat on him than he does!

[vancelw]

I call BS because I've seen "Lonesome Dove" and when Gus died there were snow-capped mountains in the background. So there.

Heck, my chickens would make short work of that insect
They love grasshoppers!

I thought I recognized that SRC. Its mine now.------6

Hoppers that size were still around when I was a kid here in Texas. We used them for trot line bait to catch the really big cat fish. Sadly hoppers that size and the cat fish that ate them were taxed out of existence by the Democrat party. If doesn't take anything more than a good 22 HP to kill the runty little hoppers we have now.

I really doubt there is enough vegetation around miles city ,montana to support such an insect. looks like a phot shop in all honesty. Been there dirt holding the earth together.

Surely you realize 'hoppers that size is why there's no vegetation around Miles City any longer, not t'other way 'round!
