Man, I haven't killed any thing in two weeks (and its rifle season), except this gallon of cheap wine.(Notice I'm enjoying its bouquet out of the appropriate container)  I think I'm suffering the effects of Shooting Deficit Disorder. Good thing I'M heading out Thursday for a week. Otherwise, I might go postal, muslim, or even go back to posting in the Political Forum. GWB | ||

Tell me about it. I spent the last four days out in the field in two different states, and didn't even see any of what I was hunting......not good.......hell, I need a drink.......

CammomanJ, I've been hunting with the same group of old farts for the past 11 years. A couple of them were at the opening weekend "Hunter's Extravaganza", in Uvalde. When they presented me with the "gimme cap" (which if you buy don't qualify), they explained, they were visiting the exhibitor's booths and saw the cap, walked about 5 paces and looked at each other, simultaneously turned around and walked back and asked the exhibitor if he had a cap that said "I kill everything", he said no, only one that said "I kill deer". They got the one in the picture above and gave it to me opening weekend. GWB | |||

You need to drink better wine...that will cure SDD. Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

I spent the last 5 days "deer hunting"... well I would have shot a pig, turkey, or even a squirrel.... But, one of the other hunters brought his friend to the lease, a fella that I used to shoot IPSC with 15 years ago... Plus some of the hunters had some guns they wanted to shoot, we have a range in camp.... So actually I only went out to hunt three times.... But I still had a great time.... Most especially shooting in camp, and around the dinner table and camp fire at night... DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

That bottle brought back some bad memories. Except mine was with their Burgundy. When I moved out on my own, I had to condition my body to drink it, because it was the only alcohol I could buy, that my roommates would not touch. Thanks for the flashback (I think).  | |||
