The sheriff of Cochise County was on Fox News yesterday. Said the camo on these boarder busters is supplied by the Sinaloa Cartel.

Sammy Davis Jr., One of the Fastest Guns in Hollywood If you asked the average person who the fastest gun among movie and television stars was, he or she might reply with an actor best known for Westerns, someone such as John Wayne, Randolph Scott, or James Arness. In truth the fastest guns in Hollywood were performers who aren't generally associated with Westerns. Reportedly the fastest gun in all of Hollywood was none other than comedian Jerry Lewis. Not far behind him was actor, singer, dancer, and comedian Sammy Davis Jr. Sammy Davis Jr. was taught in the quick draw by Arvo Ojala, a stuntman and marksman who was an expert in the subject. Among other things Mr. Ojala was the gunfighter who was shot down by Marshal Matt Dillon in the original opening of each episode of Gunsmoke. In truth, Arvo Ojala could have beaten Marshal Dillon with ease. Over the years Mr. Ojala would train many stars in the fast draw, including James Arness, Robert Culp, James Garner, Paul Newman, Hugh O'Brien, and Clint Walker, among others. As it turns out, Arvo Ojala trained Sammy Davis Jr. very well. Reportedly Mr. Davis could draw a gun between 4/10ths and 4.5/10ths of a second. While Sammy Davis Jr. did not appear in very many Western movies (Gone with the West from 1974 is it), he did get the opportunity to display his fast gun skills on such TV Westerns as Zane Gray Theatre, Lawman, and The Rifleman. He also demonstrated his skill with a gun on various talk shows over the years. http://mercurie.blogspot.com/2019/02/sammy-davis-jr-one-of-fastest-guns-in.html?m=1

Cool story. We just took a 20 year old stud off the neighbors hands. He never saw a vet, only trimmed maybe 1-2 times a year. He'd spend 8 months a year without leaving a 12x16 stall. Sad. He's a very well bred palomino Qhorse but was nearly 500 pounds underweight. I got tired of sneaking him extra feed so we strongly suggested he stay with us. Neighbor agreed.

Looks like the monsoon returns in a day or two

Glad you brought J A up. I hadn't watched a Gunsmoke episode since the series was cancelled nearly a half century ago. After our thread on westerns I decided to give it another try from an adult perspective. The ol lady and I are thoroughly enjoying the show, the black and white episodes in particular. Gunsmoke trivia 1) James Arness lost half his right foot in the invasion of Sicily. 2) Beer was actually served on the drinking scenes. 3) Dennis Weaver came up with the idea for a limp for his character, Chester Goode. He soon regretted it as riding and running scenes were difficult. 4) Amanda Blake was the original Carol Bascom. She often brought a pet lion to the set. After retirement she resided in Phoenix. 5) Arvo Ojala also worked as an actor; his most famous role was that of the unnamed man shot by Marshal Matt Dillon in the opening sequences of the long-running television series Gunsmoke. As a joke on the producers, James Arness and Arvo actually did the opener once with Dillon falling to the ground as if shot.

OMG love it. I prefer BP, would be a hoot. As a means of conservation, just swap the current tag allotments for rifle to muzzy, and open sights or tubes. I think you'll find deer numbers way up. Make the rifle tags harder to get.

Only with a lot of editing and special effects. After which they'd go back to ranting antigun propaganda.

Perfect

Is allowed on rifle hunts

Easy there killer. I went with comments on how a quote, unquote muzzleloader made with this range and accuracy could undermine AZ hunting regs. As for me, I've contributed time and resources to the AZDA. And when hung, I'd prefer a gold rope.

Depends. Tonto will allow camping at certain locations.

Back to cap and ball.

We had to dissolve the roofing co for fear of dissolving. Thank God Mike recovered in time to go fishing.

Sorry, 36a was ceded back to Mexico 5 months ago.

Where dat?

Forecast calls for showers statewide with moisture streaming in to the region next 24 hours. Another wave coming.in again starting Sunday. I'm a few miles SW of Lk Pleasant, probably an 1/8" of light rain has fallen this morning and it's still coming down.

Good down pour in Pinetop

As if Tombstone wasn't dangerous enough... On this date in 1881, just 4 months before the OK Corral gunfight, the business section of town is burnt to the ground from an exploding barrel of whiskey. 11 months later, the town would burn down again.
