  1. He’s Canadian. Probably wanted to apologize. 

    Seriously: he had an Operator vibe at the beginning of the interview and by the end when he was describing declining to shoot the Russians that were dragging off the guys he’d already shot, he reminded me of the Schofield Kid in Unforgiven: “I ain’t like you Will…”. He left soon after, couldn’t handle killing so many people so easily.

  2. Man….I need to go on one of those hunts. Where’s the best place to go? I used to goose hunt 20X a year back in high school and college.
    We’d eat platters of chicken fried goose breast strips while watching college football on Saturdays 10x a year. Loved those days.

    Arkansas was a pretty good place, but the problem with the snows (from what I heard) is that they have gotten extremely shy of decoy spreads and are really hard to hunt. The big outfitters do thousands of decoys per spread and electronic calls, and still have a hard time getting the kinds of harvest you’d think would be possible in a no-limit situation. Mossberg even makes a gun tailored to these hunts with a 12 round mag (3”).

    I heard the other day that the unlimited hunts really aren’t knocking down the snow geese population to near the degree needed. There was talk early on at the federal level of poisoning them to get the numbers down. Haven’t heard if that has come back or not.

  4. I always pull out the heart and mix it in with the grind if I don’t cook it on its own. I’ve been wanting to try liver just haven’t yet.

    I found a left handed rifle I’m going to present to the soon-to-be 13 y.o. for her birthday next week. Savage 110 Target/Varmint with Magpul adjustable stock in 6.5cm. These are sold out on GB, but I walked into Cabelas Buda on Monday just on the chance that they might have something and there it was. Going to load up some low power handloads with light bullets and run a suppressor on it in a tripod and see if she’ll tolerate the “recoil”. Pulled the spacers out of the stock to get it down to about 12.25” LOP. It will obviously be heavy, but we always shoot supported so not worried about weight and recoil reduction is paramount.

    I like the Sig BDX scopes so I’ll probably get one of those for it, and if we do work out to long range eventually, she can just put the holdover dot on target and I don’t have to explain a complicated reticle.

  5. Target shooting, prepping for Turkey season. Probably going to set up on the ground under a tree like this on the edge of a spot we see a lot of birds.

    Looking at getting her a left handed rifle soon.

  6. Shocking I tell ya, shocking - although I do wonder if amateur hour is actually the name of his squadron.
     

    Well sounds like there is video so that’s nice. Also an (unsubstantiated) twitter link is guessing a search and recovery operation going on of the coast of Romania. A different link saying Russia has a salvage operation going on off Crimea. I hope we publish the location of the incident.
