DJ, are you now stooping to extremes just to get a picture? From the way that thing has been photoslopped, I can tell that pig was laying up there sunning itself and you walked up, took a picture and then photoslopped the sky into looking like it was night. I can see the bubbles where you screwed up! Probably one of your Blue ribbon hogs just enjoying a relaxing moment!
You also got the Spidey face on the wrong head! The one not covered is the one we don't want to see!

i'm not convinced that rabbit was dead. once i thought a pig in the back of the truck was dead until i mentioned something about breakfast sausage. you should have seen him scramble to get out of there!!!
Ya know from that picture, I'd almost sear you and the hog had a romantic involvement.....Pig must have bad, bad eye's! But the way it's swooning, i'd figure you had just whispered something in it's ear it wanted to hear and couldn't hardly wait.

Coy,
Bet by time they left, I'll bet they were convinced by dj that the honor was theirs! Guy's got more lines of Cr*p than a sewage plant.
Where you been. Been pretty rowdy around here without you to referee!

OK, got a couple of quick posts.
Going to be gone most of the day tomorrow so am leaving the site in djones hands. I don't want it trashed!...djones will be buying the drinks, but I expect everyone to pick up after themselves.
Homeland security came by this morning to check on the "Hoarding" report filed by the IRS. Wanted to see the 18 rolls of toilet paper that the IRS had reported. When i told them that there were only 13 rolls left since we had had company, they wanted to know what had happened to the rest!....Well Duh!...I or someone else had flushed it! They didn't like that answer at all and mumbled something about destroying evidence. When I asked them if we should have saved it for them, they turned beet red and got real snotty and said we hadn't heard the last of it! Still muttering, they left.
Great now am on some list of subversive elements!
Found out what was leaving half eaten rabbits on my back patio. Was the biggest feral cat I have ever seen. Actually about the size of a Bobcat, but without the short tail. Probably a half breed or something. Went to grab the camera and when I got back, it was gone, however did find out yesterday how they are getting the rabbits since I did have the camera available. See below!
They have to have an inside source since I don't think they can buy bullets. Probably some House cat sold out to the insurgents! Not only that, but if you notice, they have double teamed with the Foxes and are divying up the catch at the end of the day!
Don't know what this world is coming too!
Will BBL got a PM and need to see what it is about

OK, got a PM from rectumbreath 4, (I used an alias, didn't want to embarrass a new suck....member) a relatively new member wondering if I collect things, was actually a hoarder or what since I went by Packrat 6 or just Packrat....I had explained the name when I first logged into LRH, but it seems to be coming up frequently, so here! NO! I don't collect, or Hoard, except maybe a little toilet paper, according to the Government! But will explain again.
Well first of all let me give you a little background for those that haven't been in the Military. In the Military Radio protocols each member of the organization has a radio call sign number. Lets say the unit is called Hunter. Hunter 6 is the commander, The first shirt is 6 Alpha. Hunter 5 is the Executive officer and his senior NCO is 5 Alpha, and on down to 1 then other parts of the units have other numerical designations. In Vietnam, I was for almost the entire tour, known on the radio as Blackjack Two Six Alpha. What this meant was that I was the senior NCO of a Forward Observer team for the Artillery, but stationed with the Infantry. OK? if I'd a had a Lieutenant, he'd a been Blackjack Two Six....so now on with how I ended up being Packrat 6. The numbers are used in the Army at least pretty much universal. All commanders are called SIX among other unprintable names, depending on the commander! The following is a direct copy of my introductory post except for a couple spelling error corrections.!

"Known here and in some other circles as Packrat 6, the name does not reflect that I hoard or otherwise gather things and hang on to them. The comes from a group of ex-military guys that occasionally gather out at the range and shoot at some targets that we dream up. In this case, one of the guy's wife had made a pretty good semblance of a Full size Turkey and had put a target ring around the head. it was decided that we would set the target up at 300 yards and the closest shot out of 5 each would be declared the winner and the furthest would buy the drinks on our way home. Everyone threw their $5 bucks into the pot and the shoot was on
My Springfield M1A had been sent back for re-barreling and the only other Rifle I had operable at the time was a Savage 340 30-30 and I knew I was way outclassed, but what the heck, had to try. Anyway, when my turn came up, since the Savage was zero'd for 100 yards, on the first round I held the sights about 15" over the head of the Turkey and squeezed off a round. The round hit in the dirt about 10' in front of he target and one of the guys spotting said "I think you hit something in that clump of grass in front of the target, its shaking around a lot".
Anyway I fired off my rounds, and even hit the paper twice.When we walked up to the target, there in the grass in front of the target was a packrat with it's head almost detached from my 1st round hitting it just below and behind the ears.
Naturally I tried to play it off as intentional and tried to act like if I had hit it in the body like I intended, I could have had the head stuffed and mounted as a trophy.
On the way home, stopping at our favorite watering hole, we were sitting in the corner booth when a local young lady policeman walked in, talked to the waitress and headed our way. the question kind of startled us when she asked who was the leader of the group, instead of who was driving the Blue pickup or some other pertinent question. One of the other Ex- Army guys looked at me, pointed and said "He is, Packrat 6".
Turned out Dave had forgot to hang his disabled tag from his mirror before parking in the handicapped parking space. We quickly resolved the problem and Dave got a warning, but the nickname Packrat 6 stuck. I don't think they even remember my real name anymore. When they call, my wife has gotten use to hearing "Is packrat there?"
Endquote
Anyway,When I signed in, I needed a name that I would remember, and that hadn't been used on LRH so naturally, Packrat 6 just kind of popped up and I decided to use it.
Anyway, that is the whole story...BUT if I'd a known then how much abuse I was going to have to take on this net, I would have used Babykiller 2 or something to intimidate djones and the Coy Franks and some of the others!

One other thing. When we started posting our snipes back and forth, we never expected the views to exceed up to 150 per day or to exceed a total of 16,000. Do us a favor and when you log in to view the site just hit the Reply button and post your LRH name..and if possible, a short description of why you logged it. Examples would be :
numbnuts 4, - Masochist
Hogfat - Site Censor for LRH
laughingas - Entertainment
ETC.
Except for those of you that work for the Government and are trying to support your case of hoarding, none of the reply's will be used against you or even replied to. We're just curious.
Thanks

i must have missed something... like the 'quick' part. at least your posts aren't in all caps!Packrat said:
back to business...
i knew these were big, and i was glad i had a 308. three were feeding next to the brush line. after the shot, i expected the others to disappear in two seconds or less. i planned the second and third shots before i ever took the first one. number one was a gimme, so i didn't waste time watching him go down. immediately after pulling the trigger, i turned and was aimed down the sideline before i even heard the smack. when no hogs ran into my field of view, i quickly searched the other way and found them circling wide. i guess they got confused and ran the wrong direction, but i got on them quickly. another shot dumped the next biggest and one of the next two shots connected on the last.
when i surveyed the field, only the second hog was visible. somehow the first hog made it into the brush. i was surprised but really shouldn't have been. i've knocked them off their feet before with 168 grain amaxes only to see them get up and take off. there's nothing wrong with the bullet. the big ones are just tough animals.
well, now i had a tracking job. the brush was thick, and i don't mean the kind that's just hard to walk through. i mean the kind that you stick your arm in and you can't see your hand. i rolled up my sleeves so i wouldn't rip them and began hacking my way through, using the blades of my hands like machetes. i finally found him but don't think it would have been possible if i hadn't been able to smell him. i never did find the other one, but since pak is on vacation i'm relaxing the 'no pic no pig' rule and calling it three confirmed kills.
ps - brusky... scope is a d740. i don't know much about improvements over the last few years. thermal may be the way to go now, but i've got no complaints with the d740

Nice hogs djones. Must be virgin country because of their size. You would have already shot them if it wasn't.

Rule #2 Even djones cannot change Rule # 1
You set the standard, so even you have to live by it, even when i'm not around to keep you honest Heck if we trusted you, after you already told us you "lied a little", what would you try next, a 600 yard Ram with 1 shot?....,.....,(It was a nice shot though)
HOWEVER, Those are some spectacular sized hogs though! And since they are so spectacular, i think the site will let you claim the credit for the 3rd hog this time.
