  1. https://www.nola.com/news/business/disaster-declaration-for-louisiana-crawfish-shortage/article_d1c1603c-dc03-11ee-8374-cbd43a4cc2d0.amp.html Moose out front and shit. CHIEF
  2. Well, CHIEF Jr.'s best friend is getting married in Ashland on Labor Day Weekend, he is the Best Man. We found a deal to fly into Medford for only $20 more/head than into Eugene. His buddy is the associate golf course superintendent at Bandon Dunes.We are debating going for 4-6 days. CHIEF Jr. and I both want to see Grove of the Titans down by Cresent City, then head to Bandon for a couple of days to eat, golf, and hang out with the wedding party. If we are there for six days gonna hit up Crater Lake. We will probably have some of the groomsmen with us, any "can't miss" breweries in the area? Mrs. CHIEF and I will probably hit a couple of wineries as well. CHIEF
  3. CTJ could give Worthy a three Mississippi count and still beat him by three yards, all while doing it backpedaling. CHIEF
  4. I’d rather be pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain….personally. CHIEF
  5. Those cattle weren't fleeing the smoke, they were chasing the feed truck with the blaring siren. CHIEF
  6. It’s like fishing at the coast with a slack tide. Nothing hitting bait but hardheads and lady fish. CHIEF
  7. Just got a text from my crawfish guy, prices are staying around $7.99/lb. Apparently the killer right now is mortality. He said that about a 3rd of each bag is dead. An abnormal amount of crawfish are molting in the crawfish sacks and getting crushed to death. CHIEF
  8. We stopped by the boiling booth outside of our HEB yesterday, to get an idea of how much crawfish were going for by the pound, and to gauge the size. Turns out, all they had was shrimp, and a sign that said they wouldn't have crawfish until March. CHIEF
  9. The Texas State sugar babies will be impressed with a guy that can spend $195k on an ounce and a half drone. Surly that price tag has to be wrong. CHIEF
  10. My dad worked for Santa Fe Railroad when I was a little kid. GM would ship car parts in these thin veneer wooden shipping crates. He wanted me to start hunting with him when I was about 5-6 years old. He found three post oaks that were growing in a triangle and nailed three 2x6s about 30 feet up. He took two of the shipping crates, took an end off of each one and fastened them together on top of the three 2x6s, and threw in a bus seat. He nailed 2x4 steps to one of the trees to get in it. So, it was open top and exposed to the elements and was still referred to as "the Taj Mahal" of the lease. He would shit a rubber turkey if he saw my hunting set up today (Fridge, TV, a/c, solar electricity). CHIEF
  11. Could NASA just send another probe with a robot repairman to go “bang it on the side?” That’s how my old man used to get our 46 year old TV to straighten up. CHIEF
  12. It's a hundred yard shot just shooting straight down. I've seen one of these before, apparently those towers were made in the 50s and 60s. A friend, in Bosque county, had a ranch behind ours. He had one that was not quite as tall, but probably still 25 foot. It had a Ford 8N tractor seat welded to the top, no gun rest, safety railing, or safety strap. He offered to let me hunt it, but I told him it would be too uncomfortable sitting on the giant balls you would have to have to pull that stunt. CHIEF
  13. This. The wife and CHIEF Jr. were already in Austin for a home game this year, and had her vehicle. I got the bright idea to jump on Amtrak, in Cleburne, at 4:15 and get off downtown. The train didn't get to Cleburne until almost 6 pm. The depot closed at 5 pm, so we just had to sit outside, in the heat, with no access to water or a bathroom. The trip wasn't bad, if you sit at the bar in the dining car. BUT, when we got to McGregor we had to sit on the track for over an hour waiting on a freight train to pass going the opposite direction. Then, at Belton, we had to do it again. I finally called Mrs. CHIEF, told her about the shitshow, and had her come pick me up at the station in Taylor, as the train was going to have another hour delay. So, all in all, a trip that I can drive in about three hours took over five hours just to get me 45 minutes away. There are Youtube videos of people traveling the eastern seaboard on Amtrak from Florida to New York where the train arrived almost a full 24 hours late. Also another one where the traveler jumped on Amtrak in Florida and rode to Seattle. He missed his ferry ride to Anchorage by four days. CHIEF Jr. went with my parents about 2010 or so. He said it was absolutely first class, Skyview roof was epic, food was phenomenal. Nice overnight accommodations in Kamloops. It is considered the best rail experience in North America by many. CHIEF
  14. Wow, what a cunt. Even if you were joking, it still isn't fucking funny. You are usually a good poster. CHIEF
  15. We cancelled my annual boil that was going to be on March 23rd. My guy is at $10/lb. or $300/sack for field run runts and doesn't expect prices to go down much all season. CHIEF
  16. Has anyone ever had to shit at the Rasta Bar on the South end of Cozumel? It looks like a formidable situation. Open Air with five gallon buckets, no TP, and you gotta pay. I imagine you can slip the bartender some greenbacks and he might give you a paper towel. CHIEF

    Arrowhead Hunting

    Oh hell yeah. That close, make a screener with a wood frame and some 1/2" mesh galvanized screen from Tractor Supply. Put a shovel load in and rinse the dirt away. CHIEF

    Arrowhead Hunting

    If there is a lot of rock, any points can't be too deep. A 300 gallon tote with a gas pressure washer will do the trick. CHIEF
  19. it's so bad, I just scroll to see if there is a new recruit/transfer that has their own post. God, I hate the offseason. CHIEF
  20. Not sure how reliable this YouTube channel is, but it discusses the huge number of Russian soldiers that have surrendered. At first it said the number was about 17k, later it says up to 35k. A Russian commander (sergeant) surrendered himself and all of the troops under his command. Ukraine has an "I want to Live" hotline, apparently a large number of Russians are taking up their offer: CHIEF
  21. My worst was the bathroom (if you can call it that) at the HTL Car Rental in Cozumel. Been eating really good spicy Mexican food all week and had to return the Jeep before flying back to Dallas. I asked the guys running it if I could use it, as I couldn't make it to the airport.They all just looked at each other in silence for about 3-5 seconds before walking me to the doorway. No door, no a/c, no TP, no hand soap, just a toilet covered in shit and full of shit covered in lye. I pulled out my phone and called Mrs. CHIEF to go to one of the surrounding restaurants or convenient stores and steal TP, paper towels, anything to wipe with and bring it to me. She went to a coffee shop and swiped an extra roll and brought it to me. The absolutely best place to shit? I have this badboy perched on top of a bluff about 50 yards behind my deer stand. You can take a shit and glass about 1500 acres at the same time. It's very peaceful, all you hear is the wind blowing, the bird's chirping, and the occasional fighter trainee coming by at about 150 feet. I'm always good about waving at them from my throne. CHIEF
  22. CHIEF Jr. had a mild sore throat. The only common symptom was like bronchitis, chest congestion with coughing up shit. If we would have had an empty swimming pool, we could have filled it with mucus and spit. CHIEF
  23. My whole household had RSV from the week before Christmas until early January. We didn't even have family Christmas with my Mother until January 8th. The doctor put us on a z-pack and prednisone to keep from having a secondary infection and let it run its course. CHIEF
  24. Iran is kind of a tricky situation. The younger generation loves Western ideology and Western values. They are itching for a regime change, many are Christian. US Intelligence should identify, train, and somehow arm the opposition for a coup. Equip a force in Iraq and let them reenter Iran. Make things so bad at home that the regime doesn't have time to mess in other countries affairs. CHIEF
