    Photography- one photo a day

    Oklahoma sunrise! .....set? It's been too long ago! LOL! I apologize folks. I don't have photos from exotic locals, just Okla and Tex. No fancy cameras. Just my cell phone 📱! But I do have a few photos I'd like to share!

    RFI - How to sell “collector” motorcycle

    Kinda like selling a custom built rifle. It can be the most common of calibers, but the $3500 you spent for a Neidner palm swell, 24 lpi checkering, triple A grade walnut, cartridge trap and other goodies......and it's still just a bolt action .270 Winchester! Yeppers, she's (he?) has a fancy...

    Eating Wild Hog

    Not sure where you are, but 99.9% of the hogs that I've dressed out here in Southwestern Oklahoma are very lean. To make sausage, you have to add fat. The hogs here are like deer. No fat. The meat cooks up very dry unless you really dress it up. Young pigs, 20 to 30 pounds on the hoof that...

    What caliber would you start a hunter with?

    The "Mother-in-Law" gun! You know! The one you want your m-i-l to shoot off a bench! A .460 Wby Mag!

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Gary H. (6'6" - 300#) mouthed off to a guy in a parking lot. Guy pulls a .22 on him. Gary mouthsoff again, "You can't hurt me with that thing!" Then turned to walk away. Guy shot him in the back. Gary never mouthed off again about not being hurt by a .22! I've killed 1200 pound horses with a...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    My wife's EDC is a Walther P22. I despise the thing! Safety is set up all wrong! But she loves it! Much rather have a .22LR than a pointy stick! ;-)

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Gent brings in an old Damascus double. "Is it safe to shoot?" "Well, no. Not with modern powder." With a grin, "What if I drill a vent hole just in front of the chamber?" Academy, Padre Island Dr, Corpus Christi, TX All the ammo is behind the counters. "Do you have any .308 ammo?" A middle...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Very well dressed gentleman, a known local lawyer, walked into our store and purchased a Leupold VX-III 3.5-10×50 scope. Walked over to the gun shop, handed the scope to the 'smith and said, "Set this for 150 yards." and walked out the door! Guy walks into the gun shop. "Can I shoot .303...

    Bourbon

    Dude, until alcohol starting making my gout kick in, I imbibed. Just not the hard stuff! Broke my heart to have to give up my wine!

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    I swear on my mother's grave! I WITNESSED IT! I worked in a gun shop at the time and the 'smith and I had taken several "scope mounts" to the range for a quick test shot!

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    I sold Benny a JP Saur & Son's western style .44 Mag six shooter. At the range, he stokes it up, opens his palm and lays the barrel across his finger just in front of the cylinder. "Surely not!" I thought as the gun roared! Benny made comments about his own ancestry I have no way of checking...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Day before deer opener, "Skeeter" and "Possum" drive up in the middle of the active public shooting range! Skeeter jumps out, chugs what's left of a beer, throws down the can and unloads a refrigerator box in the center of the range 30 to 40 yards from the bench. Possum guns the rattletrap F100...

    Bourbon

    Uhhmmm..... not to be a total jerk, but I don't understand. What is the goal of drinking whiskey 🥃? Buzz? High? Drunk? Palette cleanse? .....and I'm not picking on you in particular. This is for whoever. Make no mistake, I did what I could to keep distilleries in business in my youth, but got...

    About the same thing!

    What caliber would you start a hunter with?

    BUT.....there are better calibers for deer hunting than the .223. The AR in 7.62×39 with soft point hunting ammo is basically a "semi auto .30-30". It'll kill the heck out of anything on the North American continent! I have a shoulder implant and shoot an AR on 6.8mm Rem SPC. Does a fantastic...

    Bourbon

    Oh, I don't hate it. I just can't drink it! It makes my gout kick in! I knew "of" Hal and his family. Not really what you would consider a "close" friend. I had some interactions with him. Lot of fun to be around. It happened back in the late 60's. Hal just made a really bad decision, unaware...

    Bourbon

    Bourbon is the toxic (it WILL kill you!) liquid drained off of rotting grain! To me, it tastes pretty vile and unless mixed with something or cut with water, I really don't see the point! YMMV! Hal, a really good kid with a penchant for alcohol was left at home by his parents. He called some...

    What caliber would you start a hunter with?

    The store owner gave the store manager a fist full of dollars and sent us to a gun show at Astro Hall in Houston. Our goal was to find him a Win M54 (forerunner of the M70) in .257 Roberts for an upcoming moose hunt in Canada. Of the three we located, one was pristine. It proved to be a real...

    Bourbon

    Back in the day, when I was the leading candidate for the next "Town Drunk", my favored "hard" liquor was "Black Jack" or Jack Daniel's "Old No. 7".
