In the Ear? Really???

it's time you looked into at least a part time job.

If circumstances permitted, and had time for a part time job, would be down at the Ranch probably 1 week per month or so and be inputting more into this forum than just general verbal observations, abuse and entertainment for the viewers. At present can't leave the house for more than about 3 hours at a time unless someone else, usually a family member is here.

no pic required. you have a free pass on this one.

djones: No Ipod, no Ipad, nothing but a very basic phone and a desktop computer. Try again with something else!

scrmblr: You are just easily entertained.

Note to justintime 4023: The periods on the title of djones book really don't mean anything, was just spicing it up a little with a double meaning . Periods usually don't carry much connotation, except I do remember when one of my sisters missed two of them, it did cause a real uproar with my parents!......................:)

Ok. Little lady is hopefully down for the night.

Going to head to the woods in the early am. Going to check the bait piles for hog sign. One of these days I'll have pics to upload, and tomorrow seems just as good a day as any to me. Hopefully there is hog or two that wants his pic on here.

Naw, she'll wake up abut 3:00 AM looking for a dry dipe and the lunch wagon.

You need to do what djones does, trains his hogs to lay there with a little food color on them. He's used the same hog in 23 pictures that I have counted, maybe more. If they just lay there, he gives them a snack and are so well trained, he can even put a piece of rebar in their mouth. You didn't think all this time those hogs were shot did you?

Well, as near as i can determine, at 9:17 PM 7-8-2015, we hit the 50,000 view mark and are on about page 154,

OK djones, you want to retire, then go ahead. Spend your evenings sitting in the front porch swing talking to your pet rock, rubbing its belly, and probably expecting answers!

It's been a great run and a lot of fun, but guess all good things must eventually end. It's been a great diversion for me and have to admit you've been a good sport about most things. I still had a lot of stories to tell, but was having trouble fitting them into the conversation on the thread.

Probably just as well that you go out on top with that last big show of Hogs, since you apparently want to coast from here, but my pappy always told me the only time you can coast is when going downhill. Personally, I was born kicking and screaming and intend to go out the same way!

The hogs actually showed up this morning. I took a 125ish yard shot on a mid sized sow. I found a good blood trail, but gave up after about 20 minutes of tracking since the blood trail led into the swamp water. I didn't feel like swimming for her, especially since the swamp we were in is know for having gators. Since I didn't recover the sow, I won't count her as a kill.

Hunting is going to get harder since the soybeans covered all but a few inches of her back. Another week or two and the hogs will be able to hide in the rows of soybeans.

On the way in to look for hogs, I came upon a 10 pointer in full velvet eating in the soybean field. He has a tall rack, and was absolutely huge. I can guarantee that I won't see him during deer season. I've been getting him on the trail cam early in the summer, but he disappears when the season starts. Even though I had 2 depredation tags on me, it didn't seem like the right thing to do to take him. It was pretty cool to watch him through my scope for a few minutes.
 
My attempt to get LRH to give me my own forum apparently isn't going to happen. Last I heard, they were still rolling around on the floor laughing. And every time it comes up, they start in all over. I think they could have been more gracious and given me a definitive answer instead of just getting hysterical......Probably stiff me on the $5.00 too!

Been looking all around LRH trying to find a new home and someone as gullib.....easy to talk to as djones, but nothing so far. got to go to town to pick up medication for wife, so will check back later.

djones,

I would have put it in her ear, but the sounder was moving towards the forest and she was too busy eating to lift her head. I put a round between her shoulder blades. Not ideal, but it was the only exposed area.

Thinking of taking the .300WM or the .338LM tomorrow morning for a little more damage. Why track if you don't have to?
 
OK djones, since you are now retired and have plenty of time on your hands, want to ask you and Coy a technical question.

Was talking to my brother who just returned from Kansas City and they took cousin Harold out to the range to fire the new .308 LaRue. My brother fired it a couple of times and said that the recoil was pretty stiff. Now he normally fires a 7 mm so would think that the recoil is about equivalent between a .308 and 7 mm but he thinks the recoil is much, much greater than the 7mm.

Not comparing recoil and haven't shot the LaRue and probably won't unless I can acquire it, but the question is this:

My 12 gauge Perrazzi shotgun had a Mercury filled 1" x 4-5" tube in the butt that was supposed to reduce recoil and in fact seemed to. If I find the recoil uncomfortable or more than my Springfield, would this same thing work on a rifle?

Actually, what I really liked about the Mercury recoil reducer was that the 1/2 pound or so of Mercury in the butt actually made it easier to track faster, or at least it seemed to when shooting clay's. The recoil never bothered me.

Thinking on that last statement, that maybe why you track those hogs so fast, you've got all that extra weight in your butt!........:rolleyes:
