"And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?"

Pink Floyd....song name escapes me but know the lyrics anywhere!

And at least we have not hit 110 degrees yet! OUCH!!

The "feels like" temp was 120 on tuesday...

i've lived here my entire life and it still kills me every summer.

Pink Floyd....song name escapes me but know the lyrics anywhere!

yep it was from the song "Wish you were here" From the "album" of the same name.

always reminded me of south Fla and the USAF

Yup. My favorite Pink Floyd album.

Yeah, reminds me of smokin dope at the river with a 12 pack of Milwakee's Best! when I was a teen.... ahhhh, those were the days...

[busyB]

I jinxed myself.

7 am this morning was already at 87 degrees.....but, hey it is a dry heat!

Those days are gone up here by me and I miss them. Damn luxury home developments grew right to my property. Oh, well $$ .
Shooting ranges are too sterile, nothing like a wide open place to see dust kick up way out there, or hear the smack of a fmj on a big old rock @ 300 yds.

I shoot white tail deer and coyotes off my front porch! my house is dead center in the middle of the land and it's a rectangle tract. all i hear is the wild all day. no cars or kids.

Land around here is going up fast, lucky for me i inherited the land. it's about 5000 an acre now for undeveloped land on the cheap side. 10 years ago it was 1200 an acre.

the nearest town is about 10 miles away and it's not a big town at that.

i only stay there on the weekends. i have an apartment 5 minutes from work. my land is over an hour away from work and the commute sucks, i did it for about 3 years.

i shot this buck on my land...lol...i was eating breakfast and looked out towards my pond and this bastard was laying down under a tree. took him down with my .270 from my kitchen window! 

[trab]

Nice one, they grow bigger in Texas. The corn and alfalfa, soy  fed ones here in Wi are good eats.
Tenderloins, Hind 1/4 on the grill, wrapped in bacon, garlic stuffed...Couple ICE Cold Henikins on a day like today .

I cant touch off anything louder than air rifle around here anymore, need go to the range- sucks!

Hell, neighboring liberals even bitch about ranges.

My surveyor buddy said the developers still are paying $50K per acre   for 40 acre spreads on the edge of towns up here. But hardly a damn house sells.

hahaha i did something like that going to work yesterday.I pulled out of my garage and there was a big ass armadillo going thrue my trash,so i pulled out my duty weapon and shot him from my car(i live in the middle of nowhere).here is the kicker,i told my friend about it and he had me put it in a bag and freeze it so he could eat it because he just got a recipe for fried armadillo.needless to say i will probably try it.

i also killed a few alligators living in my pond in the backyard.I normally wouldnt do that but i was there first and they ate my buddies(yes the same friend that had me keep the armadillo) dog.

and i am about to tackle my hog problem.

Why would you shoot a coyote?  For what reason?  A deer is lying under a tree relaxing and you kill it?? while it's on the ground??  Man that had to make YOUR day. Did it make you laugh and feel powerful?

Suddenely there a few guys on here I think a lot less of.

Luv, you eat beef, they kill them too, and chop them up before they get put in the plastic wrapped Styrofoam pack.

i agree,i think allot of these guys who have never left the city need a reality check.for instance the beef and chickens they eat do not die of natural causes,there are no unicorns,and there is no such thing as the tooth fairy.

i eat almost everything i kill,even the alligators i shot in my pond.if nothing is going to waste then whats the problem.it is no worse than going to a restaurant.

I was shocked when I heard someone was gona eat the 'Dillo... They's ugly!
The only thing I feel, think when Im setin up a shot is -  Hitin' the target square where I want, where it's moving,wind, etc it's all just mechanical. I'm happy w/ a good shot, it don' make me feel "powerfull", shit my sister could pop a oil can w/ my .357 when she was 12yrs old,  and that aint powerfull, thats good shootin .
   But she turned into a liberal vegatarian now, works as a librarian   Maybee she seen 1 too many deer processed in the kitchen.  Some counties up here we have way too many whiteTails. They wreck cars, destroy crops, and get diseased. They are 100-200lb rats IMO in about 7 counties.  I dont hunt anymore, it's too much trouble, time  and expense. I buy my dead cow at Piggley and grill it.  But wild backcountry Texas sounds like my kind of place. Even The heat up here in Wis is kick'n my ass the last week, Texas heat got to get brutal. I suppose it aint any worse than SE Asia, that heat is solid.

yeah i have never had a bad shot either,the armadillo was actually very good much like alligator.i do not feel powerful when i shoot something i dont feel anything.me and my sister were both on the US national team(olympic shooting)since age 15 and i have been winning shoots since i was 10,shooting is just something i was born to do.I am not cocky about many thing,but if you put a gun in my hand and give me a target lights out I can make it rain

You're a citified boy ain't ya? do you eat meat? then you kill helpless "caged" animals every day without skinning them by hand. you pay money to do what i do with my own two hands. i find it funny you think less of me because of your own ignorance about life on a FARM.

coyotes kill livestock...the landowners next to me have plenty of cows, horses and goats that need protection and these people are like family to me. this is nothing new, we've been killing coyotes for 100's of years out here. consider the fact that they kill 20% of your annual income, would you shoot them? i think so...just imagine you had a purebred $30k roping horse MANGLED by a pack of coyotes, you would protect your investments right?

i eat the deer meat(which is very lean and good for you) and white tail are considered "pests" in this part of the state we are "required" to regulate their numbers. remember i live in TEXAS. it's either the deer, or our livestock...easy solution if you ask me.

i would have tried to kill the buck with my hands but i don't think i could run that fast...lol

i have no problem with you but please don't get up on a soap box over the way we do things in the country. i could tell you several things you wouldn't like but that's how we HAVE to do things down here to keep our land and livestock. i've killed over 100 deer in my life easily and probably the same amount of coyotes. remember i grew up on a farm bro, we do things differently to SURVIVE and make money.

i killed my first deer at 6 years old with a .22!!! then i had to wear the blood as face paint the rest of the day...indian influence.

if you need help with your hog problem i'm only an hour or two away and i have LOTS of guns!

Dillo tastes kinda funky but squirrel is good eating!

Squirle gravy is tops. We ate plenty of them and rabits, ducks, when I was a kid. But, Strangely there are way more deer now with heavy development. .
Running wild pigs w/ dogs sounds good; I'd make it fair for the pigs -   6" .44mag.

Deer are pests out here. if we don't kill them off they will eat all the food and our livestock will suffer. many people out here make all their income off livestock.

i could easily kill 5 deer a day if i wanted to, they are everywhere!
