  1. I think the starters at every position on the 2005 team were better than this team's starters, but the 2005 team never had this kind of depth with no drop off. Of course, VY is the GOAT, but MM and Arch behind Quinn is pretty salty. Sark is light years better than GD, but I think Vince took GD's playbook with a grain of salt. He was just Vince being Vince. Here is my real reason to think that the 2005 Longhorns set themselves apart. 2005 USC and Ohio State would boat race anyone suiting up currently. Georgia, FSU, Michigan, UT. The 2005 Longhorns would beat the current team by about three scores. I actually think the Horseshoe at night was probably a tougher game then USC. Both were Herculean efforts. It's tough to make comparisons across decades with the ever increasing weights, heights, speed, and other "measurables."We might have a few "once in a decade" type players, but I have only seen one "once in a lifetime" player, and he wore Burnt Orange.

  2. Its mummified monkey corpses. Prelude to the mummified baby Alpaca corpses used by Equadorian shamans for good luck. I just don't have an idea why mummified baby alpaca corpses are used for "good luck" rituals. I only have one belief, that is, I will have another drink of bourbon. CHIEF
  3. I guess the silver lining is they can't build artillery or replace barrels often enough to shoot all of those shells. Seven times the number but less than seven times as accurate. CHIEF
  4. Do it. It’s a thumper with over 1000 lbs. of kinetic energy at 100 yards. We keep hoping TPWD will open an early deer season for black powder and straight sided cartridges. CHIEF
  5. CHIEF Jr. bought a 10 inch can for his .450BM and 400gr. subsonic ammo to shoot hogs out of the stand with this year. It sounds like a big pellet gun: CHIEF
  6. What the fuck did I wake up to? CHOEF
  7. It's time to give the Russians the white phosphorus treatment on their trenches. It isn't a war crime, as long as they don't use it against civilians. Set the fuses long on the artillery to where the shell doesn't detonate but a couple of hundred feet above their heads. The Russians used it against the civilian population of Bakmut: Burn the fuckers out into the open. CHIEF
  8. They will eat the tunas off of the prickly pears for sure. When we hunted in Aspermont, we leased up 15,000 acres of pasture, not an oak tree on the whole place. We were overrun with hogs, you would probably see 75 a day, each. It was all prickly pear and mesquite, so there is something they are eating, just not sure what it is. CHIEF
  9. Just remember, there are two kinds of people in this World, those with hogs, and those that will eventually have hogs. CHIEF
  10. Depends, Japanese or German edge? They have different bevels. CHIEF
  11. We always have a round chambered in the bolt guns, but the firing pin is not activated. I don't trust safeties. It is this way in the stand as well. You have to raise and lower the bolt before the gun will fire, which takes conscious effort. CHIEF
  12. Anyone got any of Margarita and ol' Victor Solovyev's hot takes lately? Haven't seen any in a while, and I don't Twitter. CHIEF
  13. Back on the subject of feeders. Has anyone used a 70/30 percent blend of corn to soybeans? I used a couple of sacks in my road feeder last year, and the deer ate it up. Had a buddy try it in his feeder, in the feed pen, and they kind of ignored it. Anyone had any luck on getting them to eat it? CHIEF
  14. Last year: To this year, just to ba able to see them side by side: Just to get a comparison on what adequate rainfall and plenty of protein can do. CHIEF
  15. Yes, his mother is Barbara Bergen, I forgot his dad's name. I worked for her practice when I first moved to Austin in 1992. I knew Matt when he was in elementary school. Great family. They bought a little farm out by Muldoon that they would invite us to. CHIEF
  16. Everybody started going back through last year's game cam pics, and we found him on another guy's game cam about three-quarters of a mile away. The spring rains sure were good to him. Looks 3 1/2 last year, gonna say 4 1/2 this year. We are supposed to shoot 5 1/2 and up. I'm just not sure we are going to get the same kind of spring rains in 2024 to make him any bigger. My vote is to let him get shot this year with no repercussions. CHIEF
  17. Ranger belts run about $132 a pop. I would assume maybe a little less on a Mule with a smaller belt. It takes longer to get the dust cover off on a Ranger then to replace the drive belt. CHIEF
  18. The fucker needs a shot across the bow. Blatant officiating bias, that diminishes ticket, apparel sales, and sabotage of an opportunity at higher seeded bowls with bigger payouts, and Texas/OU sue for the exit fees to be nullified. It ain't chump change. I just don't know where we could find a good law team made up of distinguished alumni that graduated from an exceptional law school to make that threat, and follow through with it. Would have to be made by the schools and ADs though. CHIEF
  19. One of the main reasons she has hardly ever made an appearance on this page, is she owns up to her shit. She actually apologized and said she never realized she was worse about it than I am. She will even admit when I'm right, and she is wrong, a true unicorn. CHIEF
  20. Mrs. CHIEF, CHIEF Jr., his gf, and I are sitting around the living room the other night bullshitting, and Mrs. CHIEF gives me the "you need to quit interrupting me, its rude" line. The only time I interrupt is to tell her to "please, get to the point." Which may be a time or two in an hour long socializing conversation . CHIEF Jr. proceeds to rattle off about a dozen, "MOM, let dad finish what he was saying, you're being rude!" in a little less than five minutes. After the last one, he turned and gave me a wink. I don't think I have been more satisfied in my life. It was like the end of round three in the sack, when we were newlyweds. CHIEF
  21. When my Dad passed in 2019, he had two brand new 800 lb. Capsule Feeders https://www.feradyne.com/product/800lb-capsule-feeder/ in his shop. I thought, "what idoit would pay a grand for a damn corn feeder." So they sat in my shop until 2021 when I got on my current lease. Since they were "free" I decided to use one as my personal feeder. I'll never use anything else. We feed corn from about the first of September and shut off the corn during Spring Break. So about 200 days, more or less. You can throw up to 4 lbs. per day, and only have to fill it from the ground once per year. They aren't cheap, but they are coon (its an auger system, coons aren't strong enough to spin it through the cage), and hog proof. It has been maintenance free with cleaned corn, still runs the original spinner motor, timer, and battery for three years. CHIEF
  22. No one has seen this guy. But it isn't like my situation last year, where I could have shot that buck legally. Its pre-season. so he is fair game. No dibs. BUT, Ii sure hope this buddy gets him. He almost cried when CHIEF Jr. shot that big Aoudad. The guy is due. Never shot a monster anything. CHIEF
  23. I'm gonna say he is 4 1/2 at a minimum. Anyone on the ranch, and in our group would shoot him. They might not like it, but anyone would understand. Personally, I think he is old enough. My buck from last year should probably go 170+ this year. We have multiple bucks that will go over 150" on every one of our game cameras. The guy, in our pasture the farthest NW, has a monster mule deer buck on his camera. CHIEF
  24. Buddy on our lease had this guy show up: We think he may go over 190". He said he is shooting him no matter if he is 2 1/2 or 5 1/2. He said we can get a look at him in his truck bed as he hooks up his camper, and removes his blind and feeder. CHIEF
