  1. And sow trout just down the road. Talk about an area God reached down and touched.
  2. Well, I mean I don't like to brag, but I'm kind of a big deal and also hunt within 15 miles of Fal... but I also drink at Lopez bar and don't think they do. Couple of years we were eating some late AM tacos at Guadalajara and this group comes in. I've make a habit of having nice hunting equipment (clothes, guns, etc etc). I've got some of the fancy English shooting shirts and jackets from Gordy etc. that I've been given/picked up through the years. This group though, it was almost like it was another couple levels about that. Just like when you see someone in a suit you know they picked up off Savile. And it's my 5 aggy buddies and me - very hung over, talking shit and hitting on the chubby waitress like the other 10 times we've been in there that week. Anyhow this little family group had a daughter/DIL that was easily, and I mean this without hyperbole, the prettiest Hispanic woman I've ever seen. I've lived in Mexico, worked all over Central and South America for months at a time. Have seen a fucking plenty of beauties. NOTHING, ever, like this. Was wearing a diamond about the size of a dime on her skinny ass finger. Apologies if for some chance she ends up being some monied Horn's family member. But holy shit that is burned into my head forever. I didn't even know they made girls like that. I remember walking out and saying sarcastically, wonder what truck they're in - as there was two current model year 250's with 100k beds on them, likely filled with another 50k in dogs. Most of our group shot limits/near limits each hunt that week. It was good enough hunting I moved over to my .410 on the second or third day. But we only had a few labs and a Viz, are confined to 1k acres, and none of us flew home after the hunt. A completely different world. Our neighbors (this sucks) only hunt quail up until about January, when they start caring about deer. It sucks for me because I'm on that fence line, and they are local and they hunt it ALOT. Enough that most of the time the deer don't pay it any attention. Still annoying when it's middle of deer season and the evenings sound like a fucking clay shoot.
  3. Don't think so. Maybe send another request.
  4. We'll be pretty close as the crow flies.
  5. I know I've mentioned this before, but the little Kingsville airport goes from 2 private jets to ~8+ during quail season. Our ranch manager does some work with a group of them. They lease out 100k acres at a pretty substantial rate - and as you said, no expenses spared. They gave a stunning Brittany to him because he wasn't performing to the tune of $$$$ he had in it at the time. Surprise, the dog is a very, very good bird dog. The brand new 250's with (literally) 75k plus in beds on them, the private jets, the sidelock shotguns that cost as much as a truck, all pretty amazing to witness (they sometimes come slumming at the local food holes in the AM). The irony of it is we can eek out quail limits several times a year (we have about 9-12 strong coveys) for every person on the ranch and guests. Hell we've got better quail and dove than we do deer, which doesn't really hurt my feelings. But i do wonder what its like to have a seven figure lease bill for some tasty little birds.
  6. I started quail hunting with a .410 a few years ago and it was a blast, albeit expensive. A 28g is considerably cheaper to shoot and sends a lot bigger load of shot. Hell I've found 32 gauge, yes 32, ammo cheaper than .410. If I'm hunting dove in fields, 12 (special white wing)/20 (general). If I'm hunting over our tank, .410. It's a lot more fun until you have to go and hunt down more ammo. FWIW, my closest academy has considerably more options in 28g, which is also cheaper, than they do .410. Makes no sense and drives my up the wall.
  7. I didn't care for the rubber cheek piece on the ethos, but obviously both are really nice guns. I have an A400 in 20 - the one without the rubber in the grip (also don't like that). Was looking at an Ethos 28ga myself but think I'm going to treat myself to a Rizzini O/U. I'd guess you'd love either one, but you have to get out there and swing them. There was a difference for me, and I ended up with an A400. Just landed and swung better.
  8. Exactly. I believe that meme is titled Irony.gif
  9. Certainly not for red state farmers. I bet they can work something in for the Blue state aggy.
  10. If the farmers can't make it work, let them go out of business? If people can't afford what they are selling, well...out of business life for them, too? Not the worst idea you've ever had.
  11. I'm on one of our local courses once a week for ~25 weeks/year. If you stay there long enough, you'll see lots of things. I don't care that he's a D or an R or L or I or CPUSA, we just have near polar opposite visions of the country we share. Like I said above, I found it less funny than I did Cruz attempting to fish, or many other poser photo-op blooper. I don't golf or I'm certain I could find ways to poke fun at Trump about it. Maybe JD V will take up something I know something about so I can laugh at that, too. How could I forget the posts above? We can all point and laugh at Cornyn for his basement sale Cavendars outfits and his brisket. It's all the same cosplay shit.
  12. Several of the guys on our place have them, they seem to hold up. DO NOT TOW WITH THE LID ON. I think about 50% didn't have lids anymore by the time they made it down, stats from several different members, in several different years.
  13. That's a really good point, I'm certainly fine with pulling from other social programs/welfare to make that happen. Not their fault who their parents are I suppose. Also, would have been nice to see more than a snipped of the definition. Unless lack of empathy is the only characteristic of Psychopathy. Pennies make dollars, and defense and corporations are actually purposeful. Swing and a miss. Aren't you in criminal defense? I wouldn't worry about me.
  14. Just wanted to clear it up in case you didn't know what psychopath actually means. You're one of those "ThErE wILl NeVeR bE aNoThEr FrEe ElEcTiOn!!!!1!!1!" guys aren't you? Look under your feet. There's ground. Touch it. It's going to be OK - not everything has to be hyperbolic and hysterical.
  15. Ah, you missed the liabilities of their own making part. Not difficult to misinterpret my sentence, I'm notably not a wordsmith. Yes, I expect parents to feed their own children. I can't say I ever actually did the math on whether I could feed my own before having them, but apparently that's actually math many should be doing. #butthattaxcredittho
  16. No, it's not bullshit. It's a great gun for sure, if not for being soooo picky on light rounds. I've got a 20ga 400 and have a 28 lined up for myself at some point. Note - a "competitive clay shooter" shouldn't be fumbling shells. That's for guys that shoot a work tournament 1x a year. Second, he was shooting in the "Governor's hunt" - which, to me, isn't just you and your boys at the lease busting up dove. A fucking pheasant hunt with politicians and millionaires - there shouldn't be anything without double barrels there. I'm sorry, you are wrong on this. And I was told he was a lifelong hunter, not a clay shooter that didnt have room for a purpose rig. You ever notice how upland guns run 26" barrels, not 30-32? No obnoxious bolts and flared ramps either. Blue receivers? Must just be my mistake. Trump is very likely the worst gun president we've ever had. He would have already done away with them if it wouldn't make the libs happy. I trust Obama 100x more on the 2nd A, but then again, he knew what a proper gun was for a state event (as evidenced by his pics at Camp David). *It's possible I'm giving Walz too much credit, but then again, I figured you, with the circles you seem to run in, would know the very common upland etiquette as well. For educational purposes, pic of a gun room at quail focused ranch here in Texas. Cole is a bad ass rig, congrats to both of you. Reminds me of how i learned our high school team got a shooting team years after I graduated, a Caesar Guerini sticker on some girls truck - must be nice. And unless you were using the Xtrerema or whatever their waterfowl line was, then you were right at home on the course. Fucking 390 and 391's were THE SA clay gun for a decade or two. Just like this purpose built 400 would be, blue receiver and all. There's hundreds (thousands) of 391's and 400's on clay shoots going on right this second (ftr, I exampled a camo SBE for a reason). I don't know your kid or if his love for shooting/hunting matches his fishing, but when he's out of school and a professional, it would not uncommon to have a waterfowl gun, and a dove gun, and a OU in case that rich friend you have flies you down to the ranch for a quail jaunt. For example, by the time he's on a second or third career and running for VPOTUS . It's simply not a discussion, when hunting upland with monied people, bring the apropos gun. This is clip on ties to a black tie event type shit guys. Easy. Easy, just don't be a fucking fraud about it. Lest you get a pic on the front of a boat with a pfd around your neck and a reel half upside down looking like a jetty rat. Of helping fumble away the presidency (AND DEMOCRACY AS WE KNOW IT!!!1!!) Obama never went hunting or fishing - he didnt claim to be one. No one is going to question Buttigeg's proficiency, his service did that for him.
  17. Not correct. Couldn't be more correct. *additional boat(s). Maybe. Depends on your perspective. Asking people to be responsible for at a minimum themselves and liabilities of their own making shouldn't factor into that, though.
  18. I've never once claimed otherwise. I've been all over the world and solidly middle class in US in not a bad place to be. How you can be a top 5% earner and still be middle class here is a longer discussion, of course. I can be called a lot of things. Dishonest is pretty tough, though. No, I lost real money in the way of a huge project that got cancelled in a celebratory fashion by that admin. I don't have a grave pissing tour but that addle brained piece of shit would top the list. Incorrect. I replied with something like "any and every person would" and y'all ran with it like you had the superbowl winning intercept. Pretty benign statement really. I would feel ALOT different about the legality of road legal 1000 hp cars if some kid in a lambo wiped out my entire family filming a youtube. Or a lot differently about how we treat alcohol sales should they be wiped out by a drunk driver. The list goes on an on. Expecting someone to say "no, it wouldn't give me a second of retrospective thought" would have been a more flagrant answer. But you got a quasi true repeatable soundbite to follow me for a college sports board so congrats?
  19. Apparently that was enough to get my hand slapped. She can dish whatever she wants, but apparently too much to give any back. I will mirror her remarks. She is a pathetic cunt. Always has been. She is also a troll. Neg and move on. Lulz. Blackscienceguy.badasshere.gif I know you are a good reader, but you misread this one. Chewy was flexing those deep pockets (which is awesome, tbh). There's no doubt who does better - as he noted last night with his tax remarks, he's a several million a year earner (or has a really bad tax guy). That is a good thing. That is the type of people we need more of in US, providers, and payers. Fuck I'd trade 10000 non payers for a Chewy, even if he is a pretentious Colorado asshole, because... Define better. Being poor and a taker does not make you Mother Teresa. Many such just as bad as high earners, or worse, they are just also largely useless as citizens as well. This could not be more saturated with irony if you tried. Just don't mention my fingers or you'll get a TO warning. Well, probably not but to be on safe side. It's been pretty fucking awesome, tbh. Watching the legitimate mental strife on several VERY intelligent posters has been almost too much. I've only been here since '08, but watching their posts over time get less acute, more conspiracy addled, and just losing their strong moral holds. Fucking delicious. These are the types of things you cannot purchase. Probably wafted over from the Walz discussion on the Talarico thread. So. Much. Masculinity. Like we've never seen before!
  20. Lucci was in his wedding or some such shit.
  21. Guess I really lucked out on that whole Rapture thing being postponed. I think about the world quite a bit, and I've seen Brisket quote that before. For the record - The govt told us we were only taxpayers - have to make sure the layabouts who can't afford taxes don't starve, ya know. A literal drag on a proper society, but they are fellow citizens, don't ya know? They need that more than you. Hillary beat you to the punch there, hoss. So despicable. Just despicable.
  22. Only partial credit. I champion an "everyone should pay tax" approach. But don't the energy these days to fight with the progressives who are big mad other people did better financially than them. Definitely don't have the energy to fight with them about why everyone should have "skin in the game" while they hollowly fight for the poors they've likely never met outside some type of charitable event.
  23. Well that's good. We should all strive to be +1.5m annum earners. This is the easiest place in the world to "make it". And correct, just as you are looking down on me and cracking jokes, it naturally should follow. Bonus to the night, you have me doing math on the delta between my earnings and those poor fuckers getting sent to El Salvador or whatever the fuck. Shit I bet your taxes cover like 1500 of their incomes. Big Dog. Good deal.
  24. That's really cool. You divested your company (BD for your buddies group, iirc) and paid some taxes, or, you are full of shit, or have seriously misjudged my situation. Either way I couldn't give a fuck. I happy you did well, it's why this country is the greatest on earth. I often wonder how fucking hard you'd have to try to not be able to make it here. One of us is going to be stressed, anxious, and up in arms for at least the next 3 years. Hard to put a price tag on several years of this type of entertainment.
  25. If i work real hard, and Daddy 47 ever gets off his AZZ and sends out those checks he PROMISED. Maybe.
