#2 Would have scared the scrap out of me. My oldest son walked up on a cougar within 10 yards or so. It was stalking a Michigan wild turkey. He went inside, got his ex wife and his gun, and they came back out to find the cougar still there. From what I remember, the cat spooked the turkey and they both ran off. Yes I did yell at him, more like scolded him, explaining that any wild animal can turn on you if it feels threatened. But any critter who can kill you and even eat you is a separate category, one that means watch from a distance, and never give it a reason to feel threatened. We have cougars, black bears, and coyotes here in the middle west of our state and they can all hurt or kill you. I have even started to here rumblings that wild boars are making their way south from Northern Michigan Lower Peninsula to the south. I don't even go mushroom hunting without a sidearm. I only have two 9 mm pistols, but have been considering trading for a 4" .357double action revolver, to carry when I am out a
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a 9mm. The ammo is affordable so you can practice until it is a mindless extension of your body. Only hits count, and it is easy to hit, and hit many times, with a 9mm.
ERJ is right. only hits matter. I've raised and killed about 2 dozen hogs since I got to Tennessee. Put them down with premium 230gr 45acp, premium, 124gr 9mm, and 55gr, 5.56. All at no more than 5 ft. about 2/3 dropped like a rock, the ones that didn't required 1-4 more head shots. Nothing was magic, the 9 edged out the 45 by not a lot. the 5.56 was once and done (dismal failure, it was horrible, I fuckin cryed over that one at age 71). So 14-18, 9mm available compared to 7-8 45? I'm going with 9mm, recoil recovery is much better with non pros. When it comes to penetration, I trust a 9 more than a 45. It always comes down to placement and when you're shitten' yer pants because a wild critter is after you, accuracy MAY suffer. 14-18 gives yer ass better odds. Mandatory disclaimer: YMMV.
Pigpen 51, Has Michigan DNR finally admitted that we have cougar? If you do want to up your handgun game, in the spring I will be selling my Dan Wesson 44M with 4 and 8" barrels, Ruger Blackhawk .357 and My S&W 686 with accessories if you want to shoot PPC. ERJ, offer is open to you too!
#2 Nature gives you special things from time to time. It's especially nice if you live through it. This is something that person will remember for the rest of their lives. I've had a couple very special things happen to me in the wood. Each time I thanked the everywhere spirit for the blessing.
The appropriate weapon for a rooster is a broom or a Lab. After being retrieved a couple of times, my neighbor's rooster hightailed it every time it saw the dog. Quit being a feathered piss head to everyone.
#2 My wife had one cross in front of her on the way to work last Thursday morning about 5 miles south of us.
Gives me a warm-n-fuzzy since we live at the intersection of three wolf packs (radio collar verified) and have bobcats crossing through the field during the day every now and then.
No wonder my chickens all go missing and haven't seen a buck in 3 years.
I have a feeling#2 is a mounted animal , placed there. I can't believe a live cat wouldn't even move it's head especially , something moving that close at high speed. Just my 2 cents!
No, it used to be my great grandad's. He's the one that shot it, down in southern Arizona right after he singlehandedly fought off a band of Apaches. I ain't lyin'.
#4 - flashback 1991, Gulf War during Bush I's first term, the early days of shock 'n' awe. There was video of a car in Iraq driving over a bridge mere seconds before it was blown up. Rush Limbaugh was doing his "Gulf War One" casting, who would play various characters. He picked Ted Kennedy for the role of that Iraqi driver because he "drove over a bridge bombed".
We used to see a Mountain Lion laying beside the road watching the cars go by on the way to and from work. I guess he was just waiting for a Skeedunk or rabbit to get hit and save himself the work of running one down.
#8 is the best retard I've ever seen here. Bravo!

DeleteKeep practicing with that 9mm and one day you'll graduate to a 45 by God ACP.
DeleteA 9mm is OK. A 10mm has a lot more power.

Snapper... haven't heard that term in years, thanks!

I wonder if she researched the island she was visiting enough.

#5 No soup for you!
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the best ones you've done in awhile.
ReplyDelete#2 - Holy Crap! One very good reason that even though I live in Colorado, I do not ski.
#4 - Third World $hit hole construction and design.
#6 - That fat chick in the red top needs to have her ass kicked.
#7 - That's very normal behavior for dolphins preparing their meal.
#9 - What an incredible act of kindness.
#5 - When you see cartoons of cannibals preparing their meal.

ReplyDeleteWho mounts a mountain lion lying down? Every one I've ever seen was in a crouch or standing.
DeleteThat's what I thought too. Even the tail was a little bit up, and it didn't move. Also, why would a mountain lion lie out in the open, in the shade?
DeleteMaybe the taxidermist was a prankster.
True. I used to have a stuffed Jackalope.
DeleteAh, but the question is, Kenny, did you bag the jackalope yourself? Elusive critters, those are. Damned near as hard to hunt as snipe.
