  1. Gotta mention Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish in Pasadena as an offbeat BBQ joint for smoked fish in a cash only, family owned establishment. Also Cigar City Brewing in Tampa for some good liquid. Berns for the experience over the substance. If you are in a large group budget twice the time you're thinking.
  2. Hello from my hunting shack. After building a tripod stand in 90+ deg heat and humidity, cartoons and Doritos in the AC do the trick.
  3. Seems like that shot would've resulted in a pretty easily "findable" axis at 90 degrees. The variables involved in finding a wounded animal (IMO) increase wildly and inverse to the angle of the bullet path to the spine. Had a whitetail quartering-to shot a few years ago that was "dead on balls accurate" and got lucky to find the buck after half a day of looking with dogs and everything.
  4. Started neck shooting whitetail last year. Plan on sticking with it. Also I only use big boy calibers for deer anymore. No more 223 / 204 Ruger. Just my philosophy. No judgements.
  5. Subscribed Put in three SpyPoint cellular cameras. Pretty cool getting pics via an app instead of driving 90min to walk in and pull cards. Got both of my boats running so fishing will be my main thing but we have three parcels of about 50ac with three good food plots, three good stands and three good feeders. Hurricane Michael and then a work issue basically Fd me out of hunting season last year.
  6. My younger brother just picked up this Omega
  7. Same here. He was pretty popular with some buddies of mine. Always heard good things about the guy. RIP
  8. Isn't there a new Tundra coming out with an updated interior and a new transmission?
  9. He can GTFO in my opinion. That's the kind of shit I am proud that Longhorn players generally DONT do.
  10. Will this work for you? I actually found it in a rod locker on my bay boat this weekend
  11. Shot about 100 rounds this morning. Wore ear pro plugs and headphones. Lots of blast with little recoil is an odd feeling. Gun shot pretty accurately with the cheapo Winchester Super X hunting ammo. When I got into the more expensive stuff later the accuracy seemed to drop off. Could've been a result of hot barrel and a dip in focus later in the range session. Had a couple hiccups at first with the cheap Winchester ammo though. The expensive stuff ran pretty much without a hitch. Like I said - armadillos will be killed. I wouldn't use this handgun for defense except in some type of "last resort" situation. The rounds stack in the magazine very awkwardly and it causes chokes. I kept the mags as loaded as I could (about 18-20 rds) so maybe the springs will relax and that'll smooth-out.
  12. Thanks. Definitely on the short list. I have a couple of the 3.5A portables and I have had mixed results.
  13. Anyone running a three bank, onboard battery charger that they're in love with? Mine needs replacing
  14. Thinking about a moderately priced light / laser combo for the rail to use on nighttime armadillo elimination ops. Anyone have any suggestions? It won't be for personal defense just for critter control so I don't want to break the bank.
  15. Pompano bite wasn't really that good. Maybe it was the full moon. Rode around to some "old favorite" spots and put a few of these in the boat. Fished pretty skinny for a 23', 4500lb bay boat
  16. Back on track. This followed me home today. Dillos will die.
  17. FFLs are subject to a ton of scrutiny from BATFE. Not passing judgment on this one until something comes out confirming that the guy was dirty. More than possible this is the result of eager beaver cops and feds making a raid and raking in publicly for the sake of it.
  18. I got a BnW and it's nice to be able to adjust for all three trailers I tow but in the end I've realized that I've spent $200 on something that's traditionally $27-$40
  19. Hahaha that was me in the Dodge. I was trying to pull out the two kids from the wrangler in the background before dark. Didn't turn out that way
  20. As to not derail: I posted in the truck thread
  21. Seems like we talk about accessories a lot on this thread. How about posting pictures of our "best" stucks? I went to buy beer at a local gas station which happens to be near a drained, muddy lake bed. College kid and his GF walk up while I am pumping gas. They're stuck in the nearby lake bed. Convince me they're deserving of help. Here we are, 10min later...
  22. Really? That auto Orient diver I posted upthread is easily 2X heavier than this 007. I was impressed with this Seiko 007 because of its "light weight" when I first put it on. I may be coming from the wrong direction though.
