  1. Dude in a Longhorn hat and an “I love Austin T-shirt” at Ranchland in Benjamin? I was gonna give you a “muledick” and see if you hooted back, but it was a mixed crowd
  2. Apparently this one was shot on the next pasture over, about 5 miles from us: Someone in our group went through the trouble of of verifying it. CHIEF
  3. They can be. Yes, it drives me nuts. But he is a grown man, his stupid decision. The trail to our point is pretty open though, and there is very little grass. BUT prickly pears everywhere. Somehow, he and the dog avoid them, even after sundown. CHIEF
  4. Still not seeing a bunch, but our deer herd isn't real thick, just big. It was 27 degrees in the river bottom on Saturday morning. We drive the Ranger as far as we can, then hike out and sit on a point above our feeder. The dry West Texas air means it warms and cools in a hurry. CHIEF Jr. either wears boots or flip flops, nothing else, so here he is on the evening hunt: Weiner dog leading the way. He has to go or he does this all weekend. Smart fucker knows where we went: CHIEF
  5. Riley wants a championship. If Grasseater and Ogre can win a championship there, just think what Riley could do. He would lock down the most football talent rich state in the nation per capita. He could be there for the next 30 years. You think Alabama is a dynasty, Riley at LSU would top that. CHIEF
  6. NETRIS (North East Texas Real Estate Information System) generally has the final sales price up within 6 months. We don't put the information up. I'm guessing Title Companies share the info. It's coming from somewhere. CHIEF
  7. I think it has more to do with scams being so prevalent. As Imma mentioned, the "legit" sellers are selling for sticker price on used items and people got jaded to the stuff that was reasonably priced being attached to sketchy shit like check fraud. You think you have a good find and then the seller asks you to pay in some way that is clearly indicative that they are about to scam you. I stopped trying to buy anything second hand. OfferUp is the same way, now. This. I listed a $15000 item on Craigslist and got about 20-30 calls from Nigerians wanting me to send pictures so they could defraud people by listing at prices that were "too good to be true". CHIEF
  8. Sark has to take his shot with Ewers, if he doesn't get a difference maker at QB this next year, he won't be here after Arch's first or second year. Arch has to be cool with that. That would be my spiel to Arch. I have to get a dawg at QB now, or I won't be here for your years as a Longhorn. CHIEF
  9. Everything is nocturnal at my feeder right now. We did have 3 Auodad ewes come in this morning, but not all the way to the feeder. We have this really young 10 that no one has seen come by once: And, of course, this big fucker that I planned to shoot this morning, if he showed up. He is at my feeder right now. Actually, that's not the biggest one. the biggest one is the one with a harem. If someone shots the biggest one, I'm still gonna shot this one, he is a trophy for sure. The cedar pollen was so bad, it looked like the pasture was on fire. My eyes are swollen up. CHIEF
  10. Father of the Year in my book. Hope he walks. This is the kind of justice that needs to be doled out on sex traffickers. CHIEF
  11. Fuck, that didn't take long to spend $683 on CamoFire. Went all Kryptec Highlander pattern. A couple of extra pairs of pants for CHIEF Jr. as well. About half what it would have cost retail. Thanks BY. CHIEF
  12. Moving away from coveralls, too hard to pull them off when I need to take a shit. Which always seems to happen as soon as I get completely dressed and about to get in the truck. Gonna go with layers to remedy that. CHIEF
  13. Apparently I snagged my camo coveralls the last year I used them. On last years thread someone had a link that had good shit highly discounted. I'm not going back to coveralls. But was trying to remember who it was with the link. Does anyone remember it, or have a good link to some good gear? CHIEF
  14. Amazing that I drive 4 1/2 hours to hunt, this is my backyard this morning: I was about 30 feet from him, while standing on my back porch. Apparently he got tired. Think I'll go feed him an apple. CHIEF
  15. It's obvious that someone didn't pay for their hamburger from today on the following Tuesday. CHIEF
  16. Were you his toilet? Or the peanut butter and fried banana sandwich? Reincarnation is a thing, you know. CHIEF
  17. Dude, stop. No one worth a shit is questioning you. It's kinda late, everyone has had a few drinks. You don't have ta 'splain yourself. But...ya need to take a chill pill and give people some slack. You got to give a lot to get a little. I swear you are gonna have a cardiac incident. You're a good poster, but goddamn. CHIEF
  18. Coming from the oilfield, I have multiple friends in big corporate oilfield companies, they all drink like fish but can't smoke pot. Many of them smoked before working oilfield jobs. Pot synthesizes through your body quicker and there are no hangovers. Think of the productivity lost. CHIEF
  19. I've never understood the disdain, especially in states where it is legal. It's very simple, treat it like alcohol. Can't be drunk on site, can't be stoned on site. Workers would sleep much better as well, and I'm in my 50s. CHIEF
  20. What could some of the possible legal ramifications be for a physician prescribing prescription drugs to an addict, or someone that doesn't really need the prescription? Or to a pharmacist that lets just anyone walk in off the street and buy a few hundred Oxycontin? Liability is the elephant in the room. Do you just put in vending machines and let people self prescribe? CHIEF
  21. The only thing on the road to kill are mailboxes, you think these old fuckers are up at midnight? They can also call security, and they will drive them home. Free Uber. CHIEF
  22. The coaches are in a Catch-22 at the moment. The biggest problem is lack of execution. This is a highly respected staff, they have done great things at other locations. They didn't come to Texas and magically forget how to coach. I respect the staff for not throwing the players under the bus, and taking the heat for their players. Sark puts it eloquently, as mental issues, and psyche, but if you were in a one on one conversation with him, he would probably say the same things Michael Griffin, and Brian Jones are saying. CHIEF
  23. Yep, that was my group's reaction. It was a small town, all there was to do was drink beer and drive back roads. Luckily when I was pulled over for DWI in my early twenties, it was in a county where my cousin was the DA, and my aunt on the opposite side of the family was his secretary. No charges were filed, it cost me $150 to get my Bronco out of impound, and a six month licenses suspension for refusing a breathalyzer. Fast forward to today, CHIEF Jr. and none of his friends drink more than one or two beers at the bars in town. They come here to drink at the Country Club, and always have. All the roads are private and there are no cops. They are all entering professional careers after college, and are unwilling to jeopardize all of that hard work on a drunk driving arrest. They just come back to our house, crash, and leave out the next morning. LEOs pretty much stake out every drinking establishment in town. Our mayor got his 3rd DWI. He was marked after his first one, and had to step down. He didn't learn his lesson after the first one, they knew his car, and would simply sit and wait for the inevitable. A big music venue shut down several years back, sheriff's deputies would drive through and write down license plates of the vehicles that got there early and would be waiting outside the gate to pull them over. Really chickenshit behavior. CHIEF
