  1. If I kill a sow next time...I will be sure to include pics of the tittays!
  2. Definitely looks like an elongated straight wound. I can't help but wonder if it's a miss with a bow. Angle / placement is perfect....and if he flinched / jumped the shot...it could have cut him across the top and opened it up. The only thing that makes that hard to believe is how wide the wound is. I dunno...sucks for the little guy though!
  3. Gotta give that one some time to spread the seed!
  4. Had some fun this past weekend. Made it out to the lease to get some prep work in before season starts in a couple weeks. Anyhow...found this big bastard dilly dallying on a highline on Saturday morning. When first spotted, he was about 650 yds away (across a pretty deep drainage) and all I had on me was my little AR. He looked like a damned cow...extremely long legs and just covered in mud. I remember first thinking "you big bastard", then, "shit, I gotta go get him"! I loaded heavy and took off on foot. I followed the treeline on the highline (to obscure some quick movement) and the big bastard didn't give much time...he quickly moved into the woods and disappeared to the north. I got to within 100yds of his last known location and went into stalk mode. As I approached, you could smell his stench but he was nowhere to be seen. I started wondering if he was bedded nearby, just listening for me. I was cautious and entered the treeline. I followed the ridge which I knew loops around towards a feeder which is about another 300yds off the highline. After about 20 minutes of relatively slow movements "stop, listen, proceed", I got to within about 100 yds of the feeder....on a downwind approach. I finally got the clue I was looking for when about 10 deer started running directly at me. I just laughed, and waved them off...they scattered to the side and exposed the big bastard fartin' around at the feeder. The stalk is in full motion now. My goal was to close another 50 yds or so up to a group of trees, and take a rest on one of them and put some lead into him (actually copper, I use handloaded TSX bullets). I keep a few trees between the two of us, stop n go for about 5 minutes. Then he turns, and just starts heading my way. I slowly "melt" into the ground hoping he doesn't spot me...I'm still a good 20 yds from the group of trees and I'm in the middle of a fucking right of way. Now my heart won't stop pumping...he's closing distance quick. I sit motionless, frozen. He rounds some trees and is now 15 yds from me. I let fly...(pck-cheeewww), and yell out "fuck you big bastard!", followed by (pck-cheeewww, pck-chewwww, pck-cheewwww). He made it about 5 steps and I even put a finisher in him after he hit the dirt...my nerves had gotten the best of me. Anyhow...I had a blast. Reminded me how much I love the stalk. I love how the world slows down around me, and my senses create a hyper-awareness of critical measures, checking boxes while not letting the noise break through. Concentrated focus with zero yield.
  5. Starting now on Stadia, play the HUMANKIND beta free for seven days. Click to Play now through October 28 at 9 AM PT. You can also pre-order the full game (launching April 2021) on the Stadia store for $50.99 USD or €50.99. That’s a special limited-time price for pre-orders, so don’t wait. No subscription required. If you're interested in this kind of game, this is a great chance to also try out Stadia at no costs to you. Humankind trailer:
  6. Interesting that the two coaches in the Big 12 that make more than him, both won against him.
  7. Oh, but were the Longhorns unranked during some of those losses? If so, those are equal opponents. Mensa ball!
  8. I like to take my suppressed 22lr (subsonics) to the stand when I'm hunting, and have been known to eliminate corn thief's when I'm bored. I've got it dialed in and use my range finder to check my dope. The only real sound it makes is the "thump" when it hits them. Fuckers...Get Off My Corn!
  9. I've enjoyed my time in it thus far. Playing via Stadia, so I've been testing both controller (TV) and kb/m (Mac Air). The controller is a bit whacky, but Larian indicated its not dialed in yet (part of the early access lower priorities). I don't mind playing in the early access, as my availability to play is pretty damned random...so I can't ever simply play through a game. I can jump in / out of this one pretty easily, especially with Stadia's ease of access. I've had a couple of crashes...one which pissed me off due to a miraculous success that I'd just had, the other which made me happy due to a miraculous failure. Hah! It's a super cool game and if you're a fan of the series, I would recommend it.
  10. So thankful for the Rage +1 Reaction....so I can hate on you for not sharing, but not actually neg your rep.

    LMAO - what was that RB doing?

  13. I think it's time we start using statistics in our favor. Today, Sam throws touchdowns 40% of all completions!
  14. From deep inside your mom's asshole... FIGHT!!!
  15. I thought you were responding to the TCU Cheerleader pics!
  16. Happy to have a W, but teams always putting their best game for Texas us very different than Tech scoring the most points ever against Texas at their house. Especially without the Wizard...
