I like 174

I didn't google to see if this is a thing or not, however we occasionally use it IV in cattle with nitrate poisoning. Posting dead animals afterwards reveals fat having very pretty shade of sky blue. Urine is blue as well. We recommend an extended slaughter withdrawl for survivors so you don't...

Biologist in Nebraska told me a few years ago they aim to harvest 80% of the available bucks each year. So after season ends, 20% are left at 1.5, 4% (20% of last years' 20%) at 2.5, 0.8% (20% of 4%) at 3.5, etc. Maybe my math is off, but no wonder 4.5 is a trophy. Only 1 of 125 make it there!

Finally received some rain. It's green!

3 am and it's time for the second nightly pee. Site is fast and problem may be corrected. Tech is almost as fickle as a woman.

Worked at a lumber yard in HS. We were doing a little remodeling job for two old bachelors in NW Kansas. They had a muley rack mounted over the staircase in their house that was right at 36 wide, clean 4x, no brows. I'm sure he was well over 200. Metal tag on the antler was either 1965 or 66...

I still have a little 30 ml glass jar of ash we collected off the car hood in Nebraska. It flows like water. Pretty impactful event in my young life.

Prove his innocence? Thought it was innocent until proven guilty? Did Paul prove his innocence?

JB Mauney owes someone lots! He was out for sure and gonna get stomped on. I guess his hand was stuck in the rope so they couldn't just turn the bull out?

A couple seasons ago, I was in on a nice WY bull but he was 575 yds with the herd bedded. Decided that was far and we could get closer. I had practiced plenty at that range and was confident in my setup, but there was no rush. We moved down a wash and peaked over the rise to see a cloud of...

One of my early memories is of my Grandpa telling Dad to be careful what we threw away at the ranch when he was gone. We have found a few pieces of pipe filled with dimes, but not the treasure I dreamed of as a kid. Now I see the treasure was the lifetime of hard work to build what he left...

It's piling on at this point, but my opinion after following this thread for a couple days is that one individual here generates about as much useful productivity in a day as a former community planner. Who has that much time to pat their own back and pound their powerful chest to a group of...

Buddy did it 2x! First time in either a 243 or 260. I think there was no powder, just a primer. He thought it sounded funny, like just a pop. Second round split the last 6 inches of barrel down the riflings. Other time was hand loading OO buck for coyotes in his 10 gauge. He got powder and shot...
