Elk herd at the end of my driveway yesterday at 3PM. Pic is a bit dark-the sun had just gone behind the mountains.
…as a land owner, having coon hunters come through riding mules….cutting the fence where they came in and where they went out, isn’t that exciting!
At a glance, ‘Dante’s Inferno’ came to mind. The contours resemble human bodies, it’s unsettling.
Speaking of armadillo traps, We caught this SOB in the armadillo trap last thanksgiving. I pulled the short straw to relocate him. I guess I did ok, since I didn’t get sprayed.
Jumping mules. Thats what they are for; lay a blanket over the fence, over they go. We walked everywhere and followed them in pickups through the backroads. I don't know how many miles we covered walking.
Cutting fences is bullshit. They need to have their balls kicked up in their chest for that.
Have watched coons chew through their own arms to get out of dogproofs. Only animals I've ever seen do it.

Patrick Swayze is up there surfing his ass off on that thing
I was on a mid west college rifle team in the late '70s. I was the new kid and the seniors were interviewing for jobs in the post graduation life. One told me about this meeting after one such interview. He had gone to Chicago. His family bred and trained jumping mules for coon hunting. The interviewer was from the same state and after the meeting, while at the bar, the talk turned to mules, hunting and techniques. A couple stools down one of the locals was listening in and ask just how coon hunting was done. My buddy explained how you set the dogs, followed the sound on the mules until you come across the dogs where they had the coon treed. Then shine your light into the tree until you spotted the coons eyes shinning back and shoot 'em.
Mike told me this guys eyes got pretty confused and then he asked " don't you get in trouble" ?
True story.
Thank you,

I bet this was exciting!
Look on the bright side. From the photo it looks like the scope and bipod were not damaged.
hmmm, so, what are the signs of over pressure again?I bet this was exciting!
The latest in Flash (un) suppressor?I bet this was exciting!
Accuracy International AW50. That pic has been around for ages.

very cool…. I was scrolling up from the bottom of the page so saw the last pic first. My first thought was what a weird looking border collie! LOL. We happen to have two…guess my mind was pre-wired to recognize the white patch on the head!
One of ours helped me chase this one out of our backyard a couple mornings ago when I got home from work:
Still haven’t found where it must have burrowed under the fence to get in… May have been a gate left open at some point I suppose. That’s how we got it out; border collies are good for herding…well, all kinds of critters!

First page states "Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)"!
You see that idiot who put a SLAP round in that weird ass designed 50 BMG single shot rifle?
(I have an issue with the rifle design and the fact that he was shooting a sabotted round in any rifle with a muzzle break not explicitly designed for sabotted rounds. I’m an exUSAF guy and I though it obvious you don’t do that…)

He is INSANELY lucky to be alive. I don't really have an issue with the SLAP rounds... just shooting them out of anything but a 50 cal machine gun. I *think* they Barrets for the military may be ok... but I don't know, and wouldn't roll the dice without reading the TM.

IIRC, the Sabot won't let you chamber a SLAP round in a Barrett. But they make a SLAP barrel (or used to) and those were sometimes serialized to the rifle.
I *think* but am not positive... that you can't chamber a SLAP in an M82 Barrett as the sabot petals are too big for the chamber.
As for firing in any 'braked' .50... if the petals of the sabot unfurl in the brake (which they do!)... it's Good Night Irene!
Sirhr
need to ride that some day with my kiddo.. Is that Lime Creek or the Animas down below?
Will admit to some ignorance of the route and creeks it follows
