  1. Not to interrupt the gangbang, but Texas used to be in this business as well, FYI: "It is hard to imagine places more different than New York and Sierra Blanca, and the contrast has always underscored the mercenary marriage between the nation's largest city and the small town where it has dumped its sewage since 1992. That year, after Congress had prohibited the city from dumping its sludge in the Atlantic Ocean, New York signed contracts with several companies to treat and transport its sewage. One of them was a Long Island joint venture, which began shipping up to 250 tons every day on the 2,065-mile journey to West Texas. The Texas Observer, the political journal, recently called it ''the poo-poo choo-choo.'' The Long Island company, Merco, had first sought a site in Oklahoma, but after meeting resistance there learned about a failed resort called the Mile High Ranch in Sierra Blanca. The company purchased the 81,000-acre area so that the treated sludge could be spread on ''application areas''..." https://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/27/us/new-york-s-sewage-was-a-texas-town-s-gold.html
  2. Thanks guys. The swaro really has made shooting more enjoyable for me: great eye relief, reduced eye strain, fast target acquisition, and the illuminated reticle and fine crosshairs help me focus more on a point of impact. I’m a very “aware” type and I tend to get too distracted while shooting, thinking about / noticing every little thing, and the minimalist sight picture is beneficial for me. My dad asked me to shoot his 7mag for him to check the zero (I think he’s scared of it now), and it has a high end (albeit 25 year old) Leupold scope on it, and looking through it was just laughable compared to this new swaro. I told him to just shoot my gun. Sir, you basically just said that you’re dating an underwear model and then didn’t post pics. New website, still isn’t ‘Nam. : )
  3. Was modifying the yardage presets for the ballistic turret on my Swaro tonight. I polished the action awhile back on this Sako and now it’s damn smooth. Just cycling the bolt gets my blood pumping like no other firearm ever has. The patina on the bolt handle is changing with more use, building more character. This old gun is becoming a favorite, can’t wait to take it hunting again. .375 H&H with .223 for scale:

    My mom gave my girls little potpourri bags (?) to put in their dressers, and the next night after a bath, my 5yr old is running around naked waving her underwear repeatedly yelling “SMELL MY UNDIES!!!!!”

    What lake?
  6. The purple asparagus is coming out strong
  7. I don’t know if they were afraid of the tree or the scary yellow parking block:
  8. That's great shooting with a light contour rifle. I have a T3 Lite in 270, but I don't shoot it anywhere close to that level of accuracy. Were you shooting prone or from the bench at 1125? Are the rings 20 moa?
  9. What u shooting stanco?
  10. The biggest factor I’ve seen that seems to determine if people think it has “rights” or not is how much charisma is it has. I.e., Deer, cattle, foxes etc have people protesting; meanwhile bees, quail, bighorn sheep, and boatloads of other stuff on the ESL, etc have been having some real struggles and none of these folks are doing anything about that. This leads into another factor I don’t understand the logic of: I think they are more pissed that people are killing and eating the animals than if the animals were dying of disease, or indirect human cause. A new resident around Yellowstone asked an old backcountry guide “what can I do to help preserve the ecosystem around the park?” The answer: burn down your house and move back to California. We all live in buildings that destroyed habitat and displaced fauna. Farming vegetables on a industrial scale displaces fauna. Our individual existence results in the death of animals. Killing them to eat them vs driving them out of their habitat and/or into death by some other means seems arbitrary.

    Troph, I’m not giving the daquiri dude any clicks by going back and reading why you’re moving to the Axis - is it for surfing?
  12. What about insects? Do these folks not use bug spray, etc? E.g., pouring fire ant killer on a single ant mount possibly kills more “living things with a brain” than the total number of “living things with a brain” an average person eats in their life. As a species, we are committing genocide against ants, I guess?
  13. What about snails, oysters, etc. that don’t have brains, are they on the menu or not?
  14. That’s apples and oranges though. The Kalahari Bushman is a professional hunter in his element, a tourist from Seattle out for a drive with his guard down is about as far out of it as he could get. Most of the folks that get fucked up by mountain lions are hikers/joggers/kids playing (i.e. folks with their guard down), not hunters.
  15. Here’s what I’ve never understood with these people - isn’t eating vegetables “killing” as well? The carrot is growing, I pull it, skin it alive, and eat it. Where does it end? Where is the arbitrary line drawn?
  16. I’d wager it would go about like the mountain lion attacks here; if you can keep it off your neck you have a good chance of fighting it off, but yeah, you’re going to get fucked up, might bleed out on the way to get help.
  17. Yeah, that’s my preference too. It seemed like they didn’t make may 357’s years ago, do they make more now? I wanted a lever action 357 rifle years ago and they were so hard to find I just gave up.
  18. Nice! 45 LC?
  19. That should’ve said “listened”, damnit. It turned into an extra special day today, as my 8-yr old shot my late Great-Uncle’s Hi-Standard 22 for the first time. First time shooting a gun, she hit the steel 4/5 times, and really wants to shoot more. Hell yeah!
  20. Took my 8-yr old turkey hunting this morning, along with my late Grandad’s Marlin Model 120 Magnum. If you listed close, you just could hear a guitar playing Vivaldi’s Largo. Life is short, make the most of it.
  21. And now we wait... Had a Jake talking to me, but I think Ol Raspy intimidated him

    I took the fam up to Taos for spring break. One day of ski school at Taos was huge for my 7 and 5 yr old. I was able to enjoy skiing with them on greens the second day. I’d tried to teach them myself the last two years and it just didn’t work. Snow wasn’t great, but was just enough. I love TSV. I’m thinking about buying some land or a little cabin in/around the Kit Carson area within an hour of the ski valley. we stopped in ruidoso on the way back for the night, I enjoy the town, they just don’t get enough snow most years now for any enjoyable skiing.
  23. Yeah, and we were really lucky: the 270 bullet bounced down the barrel and actually nicked the spike buck he was shooting at. I don't want to even think about what a 300 WSM round or something which would have chambered, but the bullet would have been oversized for the barrel would have done.
  24. Here’s what a 270 case looks like after you shoot it in your 7mm Mag. My dad has two identical Rem 700s, and had a little “oops” last year. Some brass even blew back and cut his face. He doesn’t like to practice shooting; if he’d brought his gear out a few weeks before the season in broad daylight he might have caught the issue, but not at 5am on opening morning. I know for myself and most other people, this is the case: If you go hunting and haven’t shot your rifle since last year, your first shot is going to be bad; this one was just real bad.
