Why you should ALWAYS keep a pistol loaded with shot when in the woods!

[Badgersmilk]

Bowen has some really nice looking guns there!  Especially like the last one.  Good point about the longer barrel.  I used the Bobcat because if I'm in the woods outside hunting season its the only gun I'd be likely to carry from the ones I have.

I carry my Bobcat with a full clip, empty chamber.  I havent had any misfires with the gun, or issues at all as yet when shooting it other than using the shot shells that dont cycle the action.  I wouldnt expect them to though, they dont build enough pressure in the barrel.  Handy little firearm.

Badger ... Please tell us all this was an honest mistake and that you weren't honestly poking us with a pointy stick ...

Haz, please stand by for retaliatory action

mmm, aside from misusing the term "clip", you lost me.   

It's perfectly legal to carry a sidearm in the woods even out of hunting season...  I have never had misfires with the gun. excedera, excedera.  I still havent figured out what sent Timmothy and 1911 into a rageing fit yet either though.

And that's your problem. You haven't figured it out and you never will figure it out. People like you just don't. You walk around with "asshole" tatooed on your forehead and wonder why nobody likes you or gives a shit about what you have to say.

I've heard people with tempers like this act the way they do due to certain "inadequacies"...  Bummer for you.

A perfect example of what I was referring to when I posted :

Hey BM, you ever get the impression that the blow hard attitude you exhibit here has lead most of us to think your an asshole, and wish you would just go away ?
 We may argue with TAB and FQ and even hate their opinions, but at least  they sound like grown up assholes.

Might have been THIS little gem of maturity.

.223 is SUPER for ground squirrel!  How many people buy them for that?  Probably 1 in 2,000.  The others are all just following the heard.  Timmey, 1911, Open up and say.  BAAAAHHH, BAAAAAHHH little stupid sheep.

Still waiting for your test there Timmey.  ALL talk?

Time to step back and take a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath   

Just playing games with you on terminology

I just don't want to sick around the hospital so they can make sure I don't stop breathing and drain the swelling.  Up north around Dallas we didn't have rattle snakes, so I don't know any one that's been bit.  We just had cotton mouths, copper heads, and various others.  I don't like spiders either, I'm scared enough already, so lets not bring them into the conversation.

We have plenty of cottonmouths and copperheads just East of you in the Tyler area too. I have no problems blasting any that are near my house or yard. They are no where near endangered.

I hate to tell you, but when I worked at Baylor in Dallas I saw many, many brown recluse and black widow bites. Black widows are usually not a big deal especially for adults, but brown recluse bites are very, very nasty.

I know that you said that you'd rather not discuss them, but it pays to be informed. It can make you safer. For instance, if you find a recluse in your home it's best not to spray with insecticide. Brown recluses are pretty resistant to insecticides and the experts say that the accumulation of other dead spiders actually provides a food source for the recluses and prompts breeding (who'd of thunk it?). Recluse bites can take many surgeries over many months to remove necrotic (dead) tissue and clean and disinfect the wounds. They frequently leave gaping holes and require multiple skin grafts. Look them up and get familiar with them. They range in size and shades of brown, but they all have the distinctive violin mark. I found one in my sock drawer a few years ago. Scared the poop out of me. I've really kept my awareness up since. I always shake out my shoes before putting them on.

I try my best to put as many snakes on the endangered species list as I possibly can. I don't think I am getting anywhere close though. We have tons of rattlers around here, more then enough cottonmouths and way too many copperheads slithering around. I occasionally run across coral snakes as well (they don't merit a gun, just a hoe to the 'neck'). I have actually made enough money selling coral snake carcasses to buy a gun or two. Worth a fortune if they are over 2ft long.

Couple snake stories:

Scared the hell out of me one day when my daughter was playing in the backyard. She yelled over to me, "Look Daddy, a worm." Went over there and it was a 14 inch coral snake. She was just wearing sandals and her little toes would have been just the things for it to chew on. It's now someones clothing accessory.

Out at the ranch, me and a friend were completely dumbfound to drive up to a stock tank and see 15-20 cottonmouths swimming around. Two 10-22's and 25 round mags made short but fun work of that. Strange thing was, when we started shooting, they actually started swimming towards us.

I don't care for snakes at all. I'll leave king snakes and rat snakes alone, but if I don't know what kind of snake it is, it is quickly called a dead snake. I'm OK with dead snakes, they don't bother me.

Can you spot the copperhead?

Damn Tex! I had to lok at that for waaay too long to find him.
I'll trade a snake story/government in action story. I used to quail hunt at this WMA in South Texas, Chapparall. This was mostly quail and dove only which meant lots of expensive dogs. They'd posted signs sayig "snake study in progress, please don't shoot the rattlers". If ever there was a bigger waste of paint and plywood, I've never seen it.
