  1. Well, it didn't go bad at all. I just channeled my inner Kramer: Used the same tactic on a new Polaris Ranger last week. CHIEF
  2. I've seen that, my Dad always called them stags. My younger cousin once shot a six point doe on the ranch we used to own. She had a big body but poor antler growth and Dad wanted that deer culled. My cousin was about 10. It's his favorite story to tell. He shot her, and my Dad was giving him "atta boys". He looked at her and said, "Uncle Mel, that's a doe." My Dad said "no Cody, it's got horns." So my cousin said, "well that buck has a big ol' fat pussy." My Dad, "well I be, I guess it is a doe." Dad didn't cuss around kids, it was all he could do to keep from laughing. CHIEF
  3. Here is my meager contribution. Needed a new huntin' trailer. A lot better than those rat infested POS trailers my Dad would buy for $3500 every couple of years that we stayed in before they became unlivable. The truck is kinda overkill. CHIEF Jr.'s bunks, gonna have to get good mattresses. My bed, previous owners even sprung for a Sealy Posturepedic: Mrs. CHIEF will find out once she drives up, gonna be a shitshow for 30 minutes. CHIEF
  4. Ammunition and a whiskey still. That's my plan. CHIEF
  5. In this market, I just know what a cash buyer would be willing to pay. My listings are generally on the market a little longer, maybe 10-14 days before getting an offer. I have only had to do a "highest and best" offer once, which I hate, because you loose two or three potential buyers that don't want to get into a bidding war. I price listings usually about $25-30k above what the seller thinks they can get. But if they trust me they end up with a full price offer. I had a couple that looked at comps on the public MLS sites and wanted to put their house on the market at $389,900. I told them it would bring $425k, they reluctantly agreed to the $425k, I brought them a full price offer within the week. I have five or ten of the highest sales per square foot in our whole subdivision that I specialize in. None of those sales would have met a mortgage appraisal. We don't accept an offer without an Appraisal Waiver addendum. We let the buyer know that if they plan to finance, they have to come up with the difference between the appraisal and their offer, or they loose their earnest money. The market price is moving so quickly, that appraisers have not been able to keep up with the increases. I tell the buyer's agent it is in their buyer's best interest to use the appraisers that live in our subdivision since they know what is going on. CHIEF
  6. You're an idiot if you use Redfin or Zillow. I have people call me all the time wanting to look at houses that have been sold six months ago that are still listed on those sites with pre-housing boom prices. I use comps, because I busted my ass to set the price on those comps. They were set using cash buyers, there were no appraisals. They sold at what people were willing to pay. So as a "moron" realtors all I'm really doing is raising the value of your home while you sit around with your thumb up your ass. CHIEF
  7. Sitting in their momma's basement playing PS2 all day and night. CHIEF
  8. Anytime we need rain, Arthur, my concrete guy calls me and asks if I need any concrete poured. This time the DFW area can thank me for drilling a water well. We set surface casing on Wednesday, and it's rained ever since. CHIEF
  9. Here is where I'm at on the light pollution map: I'm more excited about taking CHIEF Jr.'s telescope out there than the hunting. On a moonless, clear night, you can see whole galaxies with the naked eye. It is truly the most incredible thing I have ever experienced. There are as many heavenly bodies as space between them. Our old lease was in the southern section of that dark spot and was incredible, but we were still within 60 miles of Abilene. This place will be "Big Bend" dark. CHIEF
  10. Well, looks like CHIEF Jr. and I are back on a lease. Far eastern Kent County, between Guthrie and Benjamin. Tailgate buddy had a spot open up on a 6600 acre pasture on the Spike Box Ranch. It's deep canyons and mesquite flats. WT, Muleys, Auodad, ducks, dove, and Sandhills. Even an occasional elk comes through. So it's back to sitting on ridges and glassing. There's probably 2000 acres in the SE corner that no-one hunts, they mainly hunt the river. I have a location picked out there, as well. I hate watching the same area all season, and like to move around, there are three areas to do just that. The tine length out there is absolutely crazy, it's 43 miles north of our last lease that I had with Dad, which had incredible tine length as well.. Camp is 11 miles off the highway. Can't wait to look at the stars on a moonless night again, and hear coyotes at all hours of the day. CHIEF
  11. This is kinda where I'm at. Hated waking up with the cat shit flavor in my mouth. An Arturo Fuente Maduro curly head for $1.00 at my local smoke shop was my favorite. Can't beat it for the price. Now, it's a couple of Cohiba cubans when we go to Cozumel. CHIEF
  12. That little Jag F-Type SVR convertible and the 911 Cab from Enterprise would be sweet rides as well. It's a short notice, but there are 4-5 good options, if others are already taken. CHIEF
  13. I would select my days based on having this for 3 days. You're gonna have some mileage charge but so what. https://mphclub.com/ferrari-488-spider-rental-miami/ CHIEF
  14. Losing your Dad is tough. Watching them go through that much pain and deterioration has to be brutal. Prayers to you both. CHIEF
  15. Mrs. CHIEF had this 24x20x2 Black Walnut brisket board made for my birthday. Her hair dresser's husband custom builds them. Absolute stunning work. CHIEF
  16. Looked like too much drop for 556. Something heavier imo Figured a 7.62 would have carried enough energy and mass for a kill shot. A 5.56 at 1050 ft/sec would knock them down, but both were able to hobble away. CHIEF
  17. I bet those fuckers changed the direction the water swirled when he flushed the shitter. Fucking animals. CHIEF
  18. It wasn't killing them, but definitely put them out of commission. 5.56 subsonic out of a can? CHIEF
  19. No, you absolutely cannot. Yeah, I looked it up. It was two transactions, but both were considered farms/ranches, which was allowed when they did it back in the 70's and 80's. It's still allowed if the farm is your primary residence, but the residence and the farm land are treated differently. Not sure what vehicle can be used to avoid capital gains on that much money. CHIEF
  20. She probably did a 1031, which deferred the tax for 18 months. My parents have always done this. If she reinvests the $1.4M back into Real Estate, it just kicks the capital gains can down the road. CHIEF
  21. True. They will rough up your thumbs. I let everyone else pick out the jumbos in our field runs. Jumbos also don't usually come out of the tail intact, as you have to exert too much pressure to tear a couple of rings off and it takes half the meat with it. CHIEF
  22. The "that's not original" guy at car shows can get annoying. Hey dude, it is a numbers matching, correctly badged car, so what if it has an aftermarket air filter, valve covers, and carb. Just let the owner be happy and quit nitpicking. CHIEF
  23. I hate to let them know, but their submarine is really a giant two tone leather couch with white stitching. CHIEF
  24. I always like larges over jumbo. Crawfish are just like English bulldogs, the front half seems to grow much faster than the tail. If you peeled out a hundred of each, and then weighed them, I bet they would be almost the exact same weight. And you would pay $21 more for a 35 lb. sack of jumbos. CHIEF
  25. Yeah, he said that's a $300-400k boat. The tower with actuators is $100k, by itself. Labor would probably be 50% of the bill, so that's why it was totaled. But I don't have $200k laying around for parts, which he seems to be forgetting. CHIEF
