  1. Took the 12 yo daughter to the party - had a great time. She recognized Ella Swindle and got a pic: Hit the Posse for a burger: Hit Congress to watch the bats: Then back to the Littlefield Fountain for some pics. She was very interested in how hard it is to get into UT on the drive home. She’ll always be a big fan, especially after this week.
  2. Oregon’s ace threw ~140 pitches in 9 innings last night, game ended after midnight. Looked like she was basically begging the offense to put a run on the board between the 9th and 10th.
  3. The internet says 4-6mph velocity reduction between pitcher and catcher for a softball. The bigger, lower density softball slows down faster, but traveling a shorter distance vs. baseball; results washout to be about the same.
  4. It’s been a few years, but the Monahans location was quite serviceable for the area and if memory serves, it was the best restaurant in town.
  5. Liberty is a terrible fielding team
  6. I always secure feeders with concrete form stakes. Easier to drive with a small sledge than a t post or rebar and the holes make for great tie wire tie points.
  7. I did some turkey hunting the last two weekends. Tried to get my 15yo daughter on a Jake this AM but it wasn’t to be. Cut a new lane and installed a backstop at the ranch where I can shoot 785 yards. Rang the steel on the first shot which was cool. Steel through phone skope: I shot an NRL Hunter match about a month ago in Brownfield. Tons of fun and really stepped my long range game up.
  8. @CleverNickname is the portal to Pan’s Labyrinth on your place?
  9. Got our first bobcat trail cam photo last week in Lampasas, pretty cool.
  10. When I’m hunting in a remote area (no cell signal and/or hours for an ambulance), I always carry a tourniquet. I don’t worry too much about band aids /blisters, etc. But fractures resulting in ruptured arteries or an incidental GSW to a limb that results in bleeding out are catastrophic problems that I’d like to have a solution for.
  11. @Hamttx Very cool. In what decade was he a PH and in what countries did he do most of his guiding? Any interesting stories? PH and hunting guide stories can be pretty great.
  12. @Hamttx feel free to indulge us in living vicariously through your journey sir if you have a hunt or are planning one for this new rifle purchase
  13. I put 20 rounds through my 375 last weekend. I have decent reloading experience with it and have been hunting with it several times over the last 6 years. I’m actually looking at doing a new 375 rifle build in another year or so. There’s options beyond Winchester I can list if you’re interested, and I’m at your service if you have any questions. Africahunting.com is also a great resource.
  14. Here’s a pretty nice US made one on GB with dies, etc. The seller says the new production models are foreign made. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1084635776
  15. @USCATX A: I’m seeing a lower leg when I zoom in, highlighted markup below. B: the buck is standing with perfect posture and his weight pretty evenly distributed, and they tend to show some really weird posture if they’re missing a leg, like that photo above.
