It's time to give the Russians the white phosphorus treatment on their trenches. It isn't a war crime, as long as they don't use it against civilians. Set the fuses long on the artillery to where the shell doesn't detonate but a couple of hundred feet above their heads. The Russians used it against the civilian population of Bakmut: Burn the fuckers out into the open. CHIEF

Hunting ‘23/‘24: Bag ‘em and Tag ‘em
They will eat the tunas off of the prickly pears for sure. When we hunted in Aspermont, we leased up 15,000 acres of pasture, not an oak tree on the whole place. We were overrun with hogs, you would probably see 75 a day, each. It was all prickly pear and mesquite, so there is something they are eating, just not sure what it is. CHIEF

Just remember, there are two kinds of people in this World, those with hogs, and those that will eventually have hogs. CHIEF

We always have a round chambered in the bolt guns, but the firing pin is not activated. I don't trust safeties. It is this way in the stand as well. You have to raise and lower the bolt before the gun will fire, which takes conscious effort. CHIEF

Back on the subject of feeders. Has anyone used a 70/30 percent blend of corn to soybeans? I used a couple of sacks in my road feeder last year, and the deer ate it up. Had a buddy try it in his feeder, in the feed pen, and they kind of ignored it. Anyone had any luck on getting them to eat it? CHIEF

Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Yes, his mother is Barbara Bergen, I forgot his dad's name. I worked for her practice when I first moved to Austin in 1992. I knew Matt when he was in elementary school. Great family. They bought a little farm out by Muldoon that they would invite us to. CHIEF

Everybody started going back through last year's game cam pics, and we found him on another guy's game cam about three-quarters of a mile away. The spring rains sure were good to him. Looks 3 1/2 last year, gonna say 4 1/2 this year. We are supposed to shoot 5 1/2 and up. I'm just not sure we are going to get the same kind of spring rains in 2024 to make him any bigger. My vote is to let him get shot this year with no repercussions. CHIEF

Ranger belts run about $132 a pop. I would assume maybe a little less on a Mule with a smaller belt. It takes longer to get the dust cover off on a Ranger then to replace the drive belt. CHIEF

2023 Fall Camp Thread of Dominance
The fucker needs a shot across the bow. Blatant officiating bias, that diminishes ticket, apparel sales, and sabotage of an opportunity at higher seeded bowls with bigger payouts, and Texas/OU sue for the exit fees to be nullified. It ain't chump change. I just don't know where we could find a good law team made up of distinguished alumni that graduated from an exceptional law school to make that threat, and follow through with it. Would have to be made by the schools and ADs though. CHIEF

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
One of the main reasons she has hardly ever made an appearance on this page, is she owns up to her shit. She actually apologized and said she never realized she was worse about it than I am. She will even admit when I'm right, and she is wrong, a true unicorn. CHIEF

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Mrs. CHIEF, CHIEF Jr., his gf, and I are sitting around the living room the other night bullshitting, and Mrs. CHIEF gives me the "you need to quit interrupting me, its rude" line. The only time I interrupt is to tell her to "please, get to the point." Which may be a time or two in an hour long socializing conversation . CHIEF Jr. proceeds to rattle off about a dozen, "MOM, let dad finish what he was saying, you're being rude!" in a little less than five minutes. After the last one, he turned and gave me a wink. I don't think I have been more satisfied in my life. It was like the end of round three in the sack, when we were newlyweds. CHIEF

When my Dad passed in 2019, he had two brand new 800 lb. Capsule Feeders https://www.feradyne.com/product/800lb-capsule-feeder/ in his shop. I thought, "what idoit would pay a grand for a damn corn feeder." So they sat in my shop until 2021 when I got on my current lease. Since they were "free" I decided to use one as my personal feeder. I'll never use anything else. We feed corn from about the first of September and shut off the corn during Spring Break. So about 200 days, more or less. You can throw up to 4 lbs. per day, and only have to fill it from the ground once per year. They aren't cheap, but they are coon (its an auger system, coons aren't strong enough to spin it through the cage), and hog proof. It has been maintenance free with cleaned corn, still runs the original spinner motor, timer, and battery for three years. CHIEF

No one has seen this guy. But it isn't like my situation last year, where I could have shot that buck legally. Its pre-season. so he is fair game. No dibs. BUT, Ii sure hope this buddy gets him. He almost cried when CHIEF Jr. shot that big Aoudad. The guy is due. Never shot a monster anything. CHIEF

I'm gonna say he is 4 1/2 at a minimum. Anyone on the ranch, and in our group would shoot him. They might not like it, but anyone would understand. Personally, I think he is old enough. My buck from last year should probably go 170+ this year. We have multiple bucks that will go over 150" on every one of our game cameras. The guy, in our pasture the farthest NW, has a monster mule deer buck on his camera. CHIEF

Buddy on our lease had this guy show up: We think he may go over 190". He said he is shooting him no matter if he is 2 1/2 or 5 1/2. He said we can get a look at him in his truck bed as he hooks up his camper, and removes his blind and feeder. CHIEF

Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Ryan Watts will be gone next year, but the defensive backfield is definitely filled with stud sophomores, RS freshmen, and true freshmen. Manny looks like he is already in the two deep behind Watts. Its formidable competition. He possibly wouldn't even see action until an offense goes five wide his second year. CHIEF

One signal that screams you won’t like this person
People that refer to any part of the US that is not densely urban as "flyover" country, and anyone that chooses not to live in that shit as "rubes." People that have "fur babies." People that are inconsiderate with their boat wakes. People from the extremes of both political properties. People that talk constantly about their kid's sports. People that have not truly "grown up" and always try to get you to do stuff with them that would cause spousal conflict. CHIEF

Awesome, she just happens to have a life long family friend that just became a Texas Ranger in her speed dial. She is pretty sure all the activity is within the state. She, and the customer service rep are giving the guy a little more rope to make sure the noose is big enough to hang himself. CHIEF
