Eventually, I think such things will fade. But, it's rough on the first few generations, unfortunately.

I love and respect you, just don't tell my wife. Our little secret, if you will.

'ey now! Don' be taking me too serious, you know
I would be ashamed if I started some mini exodus from the boards here. My frustration involves more my physical impediments rather than some twit trying to score a wacked O'keefeian point at my expense. Even twits can grow up (I speak from personal experience).
To reiterate what has already been mentioned
D Ray, please don't wield the mallet of moderation here. I think it would do far more harm than good. I happen to enjoy pissin' off the likes of Mezz. Maybe he'll get it, maybe he won't but that will be his decision. Trolls are like little worms-
some metamorphisize into something better, some you just impale on a Gamakatsu and toss 'em into the lake.
Bubba's just gone fishin' for a day or two. Charlie come on out to Californie and I'll show you what real fishin' is.
No bucket mouth ever gets you goin' like a 30-40lb. Yellowtail headed for the rocks with all of your 40 lb line. (We use live squid for bait, Dave!)Heh,heh.
Never have fished for the big cats.

Thought about going out on the Missouri, lot's of people regularly pull in 70-80 lb cats, but my boat is more of a lake boat instead of a river boat. You can't just step into it like a jon, but you can tear it up landing it on the rocks in the current.

Besides, we've got those "flying carps", and I would be mighty pissed off it one of them took my windshield out.

Kind of sad, really. We used to go out on the Missouri, 15 miles away, set up camp on a sand bar, get drunker than Cooter Brown, cook steaks of a driftwood fire, etc.

Also where I realized that I could hit a buoy at 300 yds with a Ruger Single Six .22 about half of the time. Of course, I could still SEE at the time. May have not taken down a wounded elk with a .44 at 600 yds like Elmer Keith...but I ain't Elmer Keith.

And I believe him. That old fucker didn't have to lie, most people didn't even believe the truth.

Take care,

Chas

Chas, I read Elmer's book about 15 years ago and it was a good read.

Just thought I would drop by and spam you boys but I got no spam.
So judging from this, the first thread I read, you all must be still ganging
up on the conservative members?

I'm more of a Jack O'Connor guy myself when it comes to high-powered rifles. That said, I mostly shoot blackpowder nowadays.

We're vastly outnumbered here at Fort Apache.

Hang around, us "good" guys could stand some reinforcements.

We're already at at disadvantage, as we seldom resort to insulting our opponents motives and intelligence.

Are you conveniently forgetting dj and mezz?

My buddy told me that Elmer Keith's idea of the perfect firearm was one which fired a referigerator at 800 FPS.

And after shooting a snapping turtle from atop the Rockhouse Bridge with a .45-70 with a 600 gr cast lead slug, with a max charge of 3031 in a modified Swiss T-bolt, Elmer has a point.

It's like being hit with a Mack truck.

But I tend to go with O' Connor more. Hot, fast, and flat has certain advantages. But I shoot a .25-06 and a .243.

Kinda like my .17 HMR too. Even looking through 12X glass you can be your own spotter.

I haven't noticed Mezz being that far out of line. Takes two to tango.

DJ, well, he's DJ. Kinda like Emmett T. Bass on Andy of Mayberry.

It's all a matter of perception, I suppose.

Despite my affinity towards flat-shooting rifles (my deer rifle is a .270), I must admit that my muzzleloader hits hard - kinda like Thor's hammer, in fact. A 250 gr. 45 cal. jacketed bullet at 1850 fps will certainly tip 'em over.

A little much of the ol' "bull in the china shop" approach for my tastes, I suppose.
