  1. 300 blk is great for kids. Both my older boys took their first deer with a Ruger American in that chambering. My youngest shot it for the first time at 7 and didn’t think the recoil was much different than a 10/22, just louder. It will definitely put down a whitetail or pig.

    Weird, I was thinking the same thing about USC.

    Chip is big mad. I can’t remember the last time I saw an unsportsmanlike against a coach. Also, USC minus Drake London just isn’t that fun.
  4. Sometimes a thread wanders right into your wheelhouse.
  5. More like bad strategy on not pivoting their discharge permit back to TLAP when TCEQ loosened the rules on permanent credit for up to 70% of irrigation under 210 beneficial re-use rules, but whatever. Instead they’re stuck battling Chris Harrington/City of Austin and the environmentalists in a drawn out appellate court case. As Hefeweizen mentioned it’s not really slowing down currently entitled deals which constitute thousands of paper and paper-ish lots in the corporate limits and ETJ. The city had good folks working on most angles, but they probably underestimated how hard it was going to be to get the new plant on the ground and running while Covid drove the market to absolute frenzy.
  6. I was born and raised there and we are headed up for two weeks at Christmas. Dudes (it’s never ladies) have been known to fall in love with the place and never return down south. Hope you have a great time up there, but Anchorage still sucks. It’s the Houston of Alaska.
  7. Funny, but in reality I’d probably get all jittery and miss. Nothing gets that big around our hill country place. I’m holding out hope for a 12 even if that’s probably a pipe dream.
  8. Love that setup, I have the same gun in 300 blk with a Vortex 1.5x6 on top and it’s a great little gun. I can’t believe how slick, refined and accurate they can make a $450 bolt gun these days.
  9. Yeah, that makes it more obvious. They both have that stripe thing going on the right hock, too. For a minutes I thought it was my red heeler who’s never been out to this ranch. It mostly threw me off because 95% of our hogs on this place are black with about 5% spotted Jersey cow style.
  10. I feel stupid asking, but this is a pig on the left in the second pic, right? Also finally have some decent deer coming in at the new setup. No shooters yet so I’m going to try to cull that super tall/narrow 8 that I posted previously with my .460 S&W.
  11. I had 3 last night because I hadn’t dabbled in the LBs for a while. Man, it did not hold up to Stagg Jr 16 at all. Very flat and peanuty in comparison.
  12. Cracked a Stagg Jr 16 (can we call it old label now?) and it’s damn good. You could do worse even if you have to pay $250 secondary for it.
  13. I just have the CYPB to flex with my tater shelf of wheater madness. I’ll trade it because while I like it, it’s not any better than an OWA pick.
  14. Correction, pretty solid Travis County 9 point.
  15. Spent an hour watching this guy and my wife just shot a wide 8 from our other blind. About time to go see if it’s laying down. Also, the new iPhone 13 pro can almost take decent 115 yd pics When apple gets that figured out then I’ll be truly impressed
  16. Jack Daniel’s single barrel barrel proof WB Saffell (375ml) Knob Creek 12 1792 Full Proof barrel pick Makers FAE 01 or 02 Also second the Bowman Single Barrel
  17. I could use a little belly warming pour right now.
  18. 36* with fog, a real damp cold. Out here with my 15 year old seeing if there are any dumb ones looking to die as early as possible in the season.
  19. Spec’s had some 10 year single barrel picks last year that were excellent. It’s what 101 wishes it still was.
  20. The only other gun I like to carry on Admiralty is a BAR in 300 win mag, so the .460 will be much lighter.
  21. Lots of wheel gun and lever talk lately, I like it. Went to the range two weeks ago and shot my Grandad’s old S&W Model 28 and the new S&W 460 that my wife bought me. After warming up with some .45 Colt I let it rip with the .460 mag. Oh. My. God. It’s life changing power that you can feel into the depths of your soul. Bears in Alaska will shrink in fear. Bonus pic of my wife with the Model 28.
  22. Guy at Spec’s should put down the pipe.
  23. He tore it up last night against a comically bad Arizona team. I mean terrible even by PAC 12 standards.
  24. The most impressive thing I saw all year was the Marble Falls freshman team. I’m not sure how they managed to teach those kids to tackle, but holy balls they hit hard and wrapped up.
  25. That was a bad quarter for LT but they put it together well before halftime. This was my first Varsity game of the season and I wasn’t overly impressed.
