.270

my cement pond/rain guage was up over an inch this morning, so we got a little rain in creen queek. i dug a trench for an electric conduit to my barn this weekend and hadn't filled it in yet. it's an irrigation ditch today. maybe it'll settle the dust for a few days. Lark.

there is too much emphasis put on bulet types, sectional density, balistic co-efficient, expansion, velocity, etc, etc, and not enough on marksmanship. numbers on a paper won't kill anything. hitting em where it counts will. "ANY" reasonable bullet will put down any mule deer, if the guy doin' the shootin' does his part. it will also put down any elk, moose, bear, sheep, elephant, etc. forget all the fancy words. forget about all the big numbers. learn how to shoot. learn your rifle. learn where it hits and be able to do it consistantly with your heart rate way up. you can punch a buck in the guts all you want with whatever you want, and he's still gonna run off. hit em in the lungs. they will die and die quickly. with "ANY" bullet. if they don't, you didn't do your part. Lark.

i guess this was only a matter of time. wonder where i can get one. hope they make an uncle rico too. Lark. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0728Dynamite-ON.html

we're all jealous of bullwidgeon because he talks to babes on the internet all day. Lark.

napoleon dynamite is about the funniest movie i ever saw. when uncle rico hit him in the face with the steak and when napoleon hit him back with the orange about made me puke from laughin'. and when they were in the grocery store buyin' the megapack o' toilet paper and a plunger. this all after every other scene shows em eatin' microwaved steaks. it's an instant classic. Lark.

an okie surfer? dude, what'll they think of next? i always count all the points and then count up where i think it oughta have a point and then all the points that it might o' growed in future years if i never shot it. last forkhorn i got was actually like a 18 point. western count. cousin ernie always counts the points and correlates em with his toes. ever since the quail huntin' accident the biggest he can get is a 9 pointer. Lark.

yeah, i'm a redneck. so what? but now i got actual documentation. i mean i done a lotta stuff that proves it. but this is just too cool. got a new cabelas catalog in the mail. this ain't just any ol' cabelas catalog. this is a hardbound, fancy sucker with tabs for the differnt sections an' everthing. it even come with a little suitable for framin' diploma lookin' deal that says that i'm a most prefered customer. "if you get a hardbound cabelas catalog with a diploma deal sayin' you're a most prefered customer, there ain't no doubt about it, you are a redneck". so go ahead, be jealous. an' while yer lookin' at yer junky paper covered catalog that you got from a friend, remember, i got the good one. Lark.

aw man, now this makes me feel good knowin' that i'm surrounded in redneckedness. what i wanna know is why in the heck does cabelas have wimmin's shoes? wimmin.....shoes.....i don't get it. wimmings place is in the kitchen, cleanin' and cookin' the days catch. Lark.

here is a list of the leftover permits that are going to be available. i was suprised at all the elk permits. archery cow, but still tags. Lark. http://www.azgfd.gov/artman/publish/article_357.shtml

i think is a better topic than incest. maybe the blm and the county will make some headway before deer season. Lark. http://www.eacourier.com/articles/2005/07/...news/news02.txt

this is the last thing from the courier, the gila valley paper. looks like a buncha a folks are gettin' geared up. i'm gonna make a prediction that it will be open by deer season. and if it ain't, that it'll get dynamited or some other form o' violence will occur. Lark. http://www.eacourier.com/articles/2005/07/...news/news07.txt

just checked. got my first choice bear and lion. no word yet on the other stuff. oh yeah, i didn't check the net, i just was lookin' in my wallet for license, registration and proof of insurance and seen i had a couple tags. also got a 2004 javelina tag. so as soon as i get that dern time machine runnin' again i can use it. later dudes, Lark.

there are no elk in 27. crap, all i got was a deer tag. dang i want a sheep tag. or a pronghorn. oh well, maybe some worthy person will draw a good elk tag and i can tag along. good luck all. Lark.

ok, i have the straight skinny. direct from a guy i work with. he said his brother called them and that, well...., actually they wouldn't tell him anything, but another guy told him that he talked to the director himself, or maybe a guy that talked to the director or maybe it was his neighbor, anyway, and they said that it would definitely be today, maybe. or tomorrow for sure. or the next day. it could be as late as next monday or tuesday, but for sure we'd all know within a couple weeks. they hoped, anyway. so there ya go, straight from the horse's mouth. Lark.

i put in for everything. i got drawn for antlered javelina. Lark.

if he'da done that they woulda just told him right then. Lark. p.s., just tried again. nothin'.

a guy i know said he called yesterday and was told today would be the day. don't know for sure who he talked to or what the deal was. anyway, i just tried and it ain't ready yet. sure be nice to know soon. Lark.

they need to bomb alqueidaland with live hogs that have dynamite stuffed up their butts. Lark.

wow, the last kaibab 'gator. they'll probly raise it in captivity and breed it to florida gators and then "re-introduce" em as an endangered species. Lark.

every ridge above about 8500 ft in the white mountains has blue grouse along the north side. they're real dependent on water and drought hammers the herd bad. a couple good wet years and there are grouse every where. a couple dry years and they almost disappear. just about like quail. they're sorta hard to hunt because they don't make a lot of noise or anything. best way to get em is to stay on the north side and walk around until you see em. a .410 is the best gun. use real light shot. no bigger than 8. a 12 guage is ok, but you hafta be carefull to keep from splatterin' em. they're real tame and it's easy to get too close and mess em up pretty bad. i've had to actually back up before shooting em before, because they won't run off to a good range. a .22 would be best, but it ain't legal. a .22 is legal in colorado. shoot em in the head. i've shot bunches of em over the years. they are as good to eat as anything there is. just about like a quail but a lot bigger. i've shot some that were as big as chickens but they were as tough as an ol' firestone. you need to get a stamp before hunting them too. but they are great to hunt and fry up. grouse, biscuits and gravy. good stuff........Lark.

my boys, my ol' man and my brother. for deer and elk anyway. i'll hunt bears, lions, pigs, quail, skunks, bigfeet, etc. with about anybody. with most o' the folks listed i don't see much huntin' gettin' done. if i had to pick a celebrity it'd be larry the cable guy. Lark.

never hunted coues with a muzzleloader. have shot a buncha deer, elk, pigs, etc with one and always used a .50 or .54. most of the timed choked down either a .44 or .45 via sabots. i'm sure a .40 would work, but never had any experience with em. Lark.

i don't dis it. i just think it's pud of a cartridge. and it ain't a .270. Lark.

i keep tellin' you fellers that the only thing that works is to learn how to work the wind. scentlock stuff is crap. put it in the same box as "field dressing kits". "cough silencers" and 7mm/08's and chunk em in the dumpster. ain't no way it's gonna do anything but give you false confidence. designer camo is pretty much a joke too. dark clothes and stay in the shadows. when i bow hunted i liked either all black clothes or regular ol' woodland cammo. o' course they didn't have all this designer camo with leaves and stuff flappin' on it either back then. if a deer, or any other animals sees you, it's over. he's not gonna say "hmmmm, that bush is sneakin' up on me". he's gonna say, "look at that idiot dressed like a bush". same with smell. humans need something like 50,000 ppm to smell something, or some deal. i know it's a bunch. animals, like deer and elk and such, only need a few hundred ppm. all the scent lock, coverup, skunk scent or deodorant in the world ain't gonna help. if they wind ya, and are in the right mood, they're gonna split. sometimes they don't. don't know why, either, they just don't. but about 90% o' the time, they're gone. what galliuro mt man does is ok, but all the deer is gonna say is "hoooeeee, that boy smells like he done rolled in dirt n' cow crap". best thing is to have clean clothes and take a bath regular and work the wind. or get used to likin' to see little white tails boucin' up the draw. Lark.

why is this incest deal still on here? this is just sick. Lark.
