i'd come visit you if you were closer, snake or no snake

you know the water here is FULL of sharks.  doesn't stop people from going
out in the water

if you go out past midnight, you will find a lot of young guys shark
hunting/fishing/not sure what to call it.  not sure what they need em for,
but they are doing it from the shore and pulling out sharks after shark
after shark.  i guess i should have asked them "why?"

Its on, when I go to camp next month I'll try to get a porcupine pic.

I'm still game to try snake, can't be any worse than red squirrel.

Another story:
When I got a permit to hunt moose in '99 I managed to bag the moose the very 
first hour of the very first day. This left us lots of time. I had my Dad's 
friend's kid Michael with me. He was about 14 (and threw up when I gutted the 
moose, hilarious) and eager to be in the woods. We were officially "hunting 
birds" which means partridge but after not seeing any because the leaves were 
still on we switched to squirrels. I gave him my Savage .22/20ga, an over and 
under gun with .22 on top and 20ga under, its short and quite handy. The .22 
barrel on that gun is fairly inaccurate so I figured we'd have an exciting day 
not hitting anything. That sonofa gun hit ever dang squirrel I'd point him at. 
So we get five or six of the tree rats down and he looks at me and says "Are we 
going to have to eat them?"

I'd never thought about it but of course he's been taught that you always eat 
what you kill, so sure, we're going to eat them. We go out to my camp back 
before it was my camp and build a little fire and I show him how to skin one 
out and toast it on a stick. Then he takes a bite, chews for a second and says 
"it tastes kind of like hot dog but way chewier". We had a good laugh, tossed 
the rest in the bushes and went to McDonalds...

OK.. fair game.. since Gary did a pic of his bike.. Thought I would try a
pic of a couple rattlesnakes.

These are above ground snakes .. not the blind ones in the mine.. harvested
both of them in about 10 minutes one day.. one off the back porch.. one off
the front..

Still want to have a BBQ?  LOL.. thought not..

When we lived south of Calhan, Colorado, we met up with a few badgers.
They need disposing of since they will burrow next to fence corner posts
and will ruin two fence lines.

One day, when we were driving on the lane on the south side of our 80
acres, I noticed an animal ahead. I thought it was our cat. Shirley said
it was not. When we got closer, I saw it was a badger. The lane was
fenced on the south side, but not on the north side. When we got close,
the badger headed north onto our property. I followed it in our 4000#
1962 Willys Utility Wagon. I caught up with it well away from the fence
and rolled over it with both wheels on one side. I looped around and saw
that it was still moving, so I ran over it again with both wheels on one
side. I ended up doing figure-8s in the field and had to run it over
seven times before it stopped moving.

Those things are tough! And they have a full mouth of very nasty looking
teeth!

2013-09-04 Thread Curt Raymond
We get porcupines around our camp a lot. They need disposing of as they'll kill 
the trees and literally eat holes in the T111 on the garage. Usually we use a 
.410 or 20ga shotgun but one trip my dad brought a 9mm shotgun.
A 9mm shotgun uses a 9mm case with a cup full of very small (number 10) 
pellets. They were commonly used for shooting clay targets indoors back in the 
early 1900s.

Anyway one night we get this porcupine eating on the garage so we take the 9mm 
and head out. Dad holds the flashlight (its like 2am) and I give him a blast. 
He slows down but doesn't stop so I give him another, and another and another. 
Finally dad's had enough and gives him a couple blasts with his .380 pistol. 
That seems to finish things for the night.
In the morning I get up and the dang thing is still alive although it can't 
move. Horrifying. I finally finished it with a couple (yes more than one) .22s 
between the eyes.

The 9mm was clearly not enough for the job, the .380 didn't work out because 
its hard to shoot a pistol in the dark and body shots don't do the job. 
Porcupines have thick skulls so even the .22 had a hard time.

Now we always are sure to have a big enough gun for the job. Worst would be if 
the thing climbed up into a tree to die, it'd have smelled forever...

it was not. When we got closer, I saw it was a badger. The lane was
fenced on the south side, but not on the north side. When we got close,
the badger headed north onto our property. I followed it in our 4000#
1962 Willys Utility Wagon. I caught up with it well away from the fence
and rolled over it with both wheels on one side. I looped around and saw
that it was still moving, so I ran over it again with both wheels on one
side. I ended up doing figure-8s in the field and had to run it over
seven times before it stopped moving.

Those things are tough! And they have a full mouth of very nasty looking
teeth!

Re: [MBZ] buymbparts is dead drunk at walmart

2013-09-04 Thread Curt Raymond
Tough work in the dark though. Generally it goes like this, you wake up in the 
night for a call of nature. Since its a camp and there is no indoor plumbing 
men get to go outside, women have a bucket inside. So you're all snuggled up in 
your fart sack considering if you should brave the cold or can you hold it 
until morning and then you hear it. I can't think of any way to explain what a 
porcupine chewing on the garage wall sounds like. Imagine somebody trying to 
chisel through a garage wall and you're probably close.

Anyway as a courtesy you wake up the other sleepers, grab some shoes, maybe 
pants if you want to be fancy though I usually do put on a shirt. Grab yer gun 
and the big mag-light, go out and find said chewer. Usually when you shine the 
light on him he'll pause but he won't run, so you chuck a rock so he'll get 
away from the garage. You give him lead poisoning, answer the call of nature 
and go back to bed.

Sometimes the little b@$t@rd will be up under the camp. I usually whack the 
side of the camp to get him to come out, dad just shoots underneath... One time 
dad did the shooting without waking the other campers, thats something exciting 
to wake up to.

The strangest part of the whole thing is that you shoot a porcupine, and then a 
rabbit or two shows up for the funeral. I mean like right then. You shoot, 
eject the shell, look again and theres a rabbit reading last rites...

I guess if we get a raccoon I need to get a better pellet gun. Mine will 
dispatch squirrels (which is what I bought it for) but I think it'd be iffy on

Maybe where you live - but Grant could move that rattlesnake 14
miles [22 km] away from the house and still it wouldn't be someone
else's problem as it would still be on his land.

East vs west.

2013-09-03 Thread Curt Raymond
I've never understood "relocating" wildlife. What most people are doing is 
making their nuisance wildlife somebody else's problem.
I've been having an amusing discussion on Facebook with a friend who keeps 
saying things like "we moved our raccoon to the country" to which I reply "We 
made the raccoon somebody else's problem". I contend in those cases a pellet 
gun is the best answer. The raccoon quickly learns that turning over my garbage 
cans is a bad idea that makes his ass hurt and moves on to somebody else who 
gives him a free ride to somebody else's house.

Gawd.. what a visual...

Sorry to burst your fantasy, but I do not keep rattlesnakes as pets.. They
present a clear and mortal danger to me at the Ranch. Should I be bitten,
due to the remote location, medical help and intervention is to far away.

Contrary to what you might think.. cutting the head off a rattlesnake does
not render it "safe".. I've had severed heads still strike after as long as
45 minutes... with the capacity to deliver a lethal dose of venom... so..
should you encounter one... kill it and leave it.. resist the impulse to
"pick it up" cause it's dead...  They are also very territorial. If you
find one near your residence and have it removed.. it will find it's way
back within the next month..  When I first took the Ranch, I would capture
and remove any rattlesnake that came around the ranch house.. soon I
noticed what looked like the same snake [yes.. they all look alike, scary]
so I spray painted the ones captured.. sure enough.. they came back.. Since
then... I hang them on the fence and and bury the head, the coyotes or
vultures eat... nothing goes to waste.

Now.. how do we get Gary and the bicycle wrapped into the movie plot with
the mutant flying bat snakes and the sheilas with bad habits.. Help me out
