Hamish I feel your pain. Thank you so much for an insight into your part of the world.

To RCAMUGLIA- Loved your Mule deer post, but on yor shrimp comment- you may/may not be a SEA/Viet Nam vet, I am, and I bought giant prawns in a local Thai market where 4 were a kilo+, thats a half pound shrimp each, for your calculator! As for your "oxymoron-224 bullet", I have taken deer with a .221 Fireball, ,222 Rem,.22-250,. .220 Swift. The longest tract we had last yr X 2 on our hunting club was from a shooter using a .300 Weatherby Mag w/ 180 gr. Rem bullets. All my ,224 deer were recovered in the green ields, DRT. The 300 Weatherby guy took a dog and ATVs to find his deer! Spend more time on bullet loads. I have a Ruger Mini 14, Kel_tec SU-16C that are "truck guns". The KelTec loves WW Ranger 60gr Nosler Partitions, which go as deep in 10% gel as a .308! My Strkyer 516 22-250 won't put 1 WW 64 gr witin a foot of another, but a Rem 55 55gr Power-lock JHP will cut touching target lines @ 100 yds!

Sorry if I sounded a bit short, I wasn't having a go at you. There are some on here who have a habit of throwing out personal insults in a manner unbecoming of gentlemen and my comments were directed at them.

Being a gentleman is something a few guys could use a little incite on...

Hamish, that is why I like Kiwis and Ozzies...

The type you speak of are good examples of what we call trailer trash stateside here...

you add a level head to the barroom brawl mentality of some on this board...

Those are some big shrimp!! Saute in EVOO, little fresh garlic, hit it with white wine and reduce, some whole butter, finish with a giant squeeze of fresh lemon juice and fresh chopped parsley, S & P....Wa la...Scampi!
