  1. Got out Turkey hunting with the 13yo today, she worked hard, but I couldn’t get her close to any birds; saw two Toms that were locked onto the hens they were with and wouldn’t come to calls. She had a good learning experience.
  2. Here’s a response from the Chechens; say they don’t care much about this Ukraine thing and will happily come to Moscow and get it on if they see another Muslim protest video. Hopefully someone can make that happen.
  3. Yeah that one is rough. Wet, cold, filthy, no escape.
  4. The Russians are reaching the level of BS that is now consistently one-liner unintentional comedy. Like Michael Scott lines. The US is significantly responsible for A crisis in Ukraine. Russia’s crisis. LOL
  5. Interesting timelapse of a Russian squad getting lit up by artillery.
  6. NATO protesters in Moscow outside US embassy looking super energetic, unscripted, a real cross section of society, etc.
  7. Russian gov officials must really not have any sense of humor to not see how much self-parody there is in statements like this.
  8. Good go pro footage, but I’m not tapping on the end of an RPG round after it’s in the tube. Nope.
  9. The WSJ links are all paywalled up now - anybody have a Cliff’s of what he was citing regarding the Russian economy?
  10. 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.
  11. This is a lot like the Canadian sniper described - the dumb bastards just keep coming out and he kept shooting until he started to feel awkward because they are clearly untrained idiots.
  12. Which one of you guys shit in the aisle by the Clintons at “Some Like it Hot?”: https://pagesix.com/2023/03/20/fan-poops-in-aisle-near-hillary-and-chelsea-clinton-at-show/ Note: they called you “elderly” in the article, haha.
  13. 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”).
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
