For you Thomas... A new pic...

Peter_Jolles Jul 30, 2004 10:59 PM

I call this one... "Looking for Osama"

That is me at around mid-April.

Yes that is a bullet I am kissing: a .308 Win 175 grain Sierra Hollow Point Boat Tail encased in a Lapua shell.

Top that one Thomas!!!

What...Did you miss the scope? That rifle's got a real long range....((LOL))

Frank

PS: He's kissing the bullet, but if he was real hard-core he'd be slipping it the tongue!

... how about you? You hippy!!!!!!!

Peter_Jolles Jul 31, 2004 08:11 AM

Actually, I was with my brother (another Marine) and we were sport-shooting groundhogs on a farm.

This is what I LIVE FOR in the Spring: we take shots out to 500 yards (some guys have kills at 700 and more yards). I have about 10 farms I can hunt on and it is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Plus, the farmers hate the groundhogs and usually, after a day of shooting 5 or so of them, the farmers say, "Pete, ummm, when can you come back?"

Redneck? yeah maybe... but it makes for one outrageous photo, huh?

Peter

P.S. I DO slip my rifles the tongue - rearfang, you cant slip the tongue to a loaded round!!!

ride with my Grandfather as he would ride around in the country and stop to shoot groundhogs. If they were young he would bring them home, dress them out, and my Grandmother would fix the best meal in the whole world. My brother and I would fight over the last piece of Groundhog. Did you ever cook one? Yummm.....

Peter_Jolles Jul 31, 2004 09:15 AM

... I have thought abut it - but I have not had the "guts" to do it yet.

I hear they are delicious - and most of the ones I shoot are in vegetable patches and soybean fields... so I am sure they would be fine to eat.

The prospect of eating a groundhog that has injested a farmer's poison IS a tantalizing tasty treat for sure!

Hi,
You were so against that guy feeding his sk a baby brown snake saying its crual, but shooting little ground hogs is even sadder than that i think. But I know hunting is what some people are into, I just dont like it.Peace,

I do not sport shoot anything but groundhogs. I do not know where you live but here in Western Maryland they are a plague to farmers and horse owners. They eat crops but more importantly they dig tons of very destructive holes.

The land owners poison them, try to run them over, shoot them, anything to get rid of them.

Believe me - when I hit them with a bullet it is "lights out". They never even know what hit 'em!

... use you over in Guam to help them get rid of all the damn brown snakes there.

jeph Jul 31, 2004 06:22 PM

Hi,
I guess its not really painful then, but still they look like cool little things, but if they ruin stuff for farmers and thatsd how those people make their money then i guess they are a problem and its kind of a painless way out. Wasnt trying to start anything but just from your other post before i didnt think you were into it, but I understand, peace,

Keith Hillson Jul 31, 2004 01:23 AM

Rainer are you about to go kick sand in some skinny dudes face in that pic and take his girl ? Just like in the ads in comic books back in the 70's lol. Of course that skinny guy buys the Atlas muscle building book for .99 cents and comes back and delivers a severe beating to the muscle guy so remember that lol.

so Im identified now so if anybody see's me at a show you can beat me up me or just talk snakes or whatever Ive prompted you to do lol (hopefully the latter as I dont like getting punched) Also my secret is out I am a...large man as Ken Kaniff pointed out before. Yes I suffer from big boy syndrome but thats what living in Wisconsin will do to you its nothing but cheese, beer and various ground up meats that are seasoned and cooked over a grill year round lol.

Another pic of me. Here Im contemplating my extensive and VAST Common Kingsnake knowledge and wondering why others dont know as much as I do. I guess the life of a "Know it all" isnt all its cracked up to be lol.

Are there no other ladies here brave enough to show themselves in this quite obviously manly-man filled forum? lol j/k guys

This is my lower left leg, it's about 10 years old now...wow! It's actually a lot brighter green than this pic is showing. Designed it myself. I have a bunch more but they're in hard to self-photo spots, lol. I'll have to get my husband to take a few pics when he gets home.
