  2. The elites want us to eat bugs weeds and garbage. For them it’s only the best but they won’t even consider dining on snake, it’s a breach of professional courtesy.

  4. It’s doubtful the swanky restaurant French Laundry will serve Piglosi or Gruesome snake at a meal even though it would be appropriate. I wonder what $500-1,000 bottles of wine they would choose to wash down their $300 a plate meal? Boa on a stick, rattlesnake croquettes, or lizard pie is on the menu for those asswipes.

  6. So many things in nature taste like chicken I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s chicken that tastes like them.

    We’re just more familiar with it.

    Bull snake and chicken are alike. Didn’t know it was a bull snake until after the camping vacation. We had a hawk in training and picking off local small wildlife was on our daily to-do list. We did not try the armadillo, though, and we had to open it up for the hawk. All he ate was the organs.

    Good times.

  15. You don’t see dem in Looziana! Da Cajun will cook and eat anything just need a hot cast iron skillet some butter and cayenne pepper maybe cook a pot of rice and open the wine!

    We heard that too, why we didn’t try it. We were 16 and not short on food at the camp. But I was also under the impression that leprosy was not a guarantee to be on them. Like not all skunks have rabies, but they carry it the most here.

    As numerous as they are around here, we’d have leprosy all the time if it was. I have a few customers that have to deal with them pretty frequently. I advise them to sit out with with a .22 cal pellet rifle and a 12 pack some weekend.

  19. What I recall is armadillos have a lower body temp which makes them easy carriers for leprosy.

    We generally hit them with a .44 at longer ranges, and a 12 gauge at medium to short ranges. We wear disposable gloves to handle the carcasses and burn them in diesel fuel.

    Most of the time we leave them alone, but some of them do pretty terrific damage.

  23. It’s very rare we carry a rifle on the pastures.

    Long distance for a thing the size of a chicken is 50, 60 yards.

    My 1917 can’t handle that. Or I can’t do it.

    But the Super Blackhawk can do that. And I can do it.

  25. Hey Erik. Good to see you.

    Gin- Yes! Leprosy. That’s what I was thinking of.
    I’m not losing an appendage for that. Rather take my chances at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Pacoima. lol.

  27. Brad, I’m still wondering why you thought that was ridiculous.

    That Ruger is about the only “reach out” pistol I have. I have a Security Six with a 6 inch pipe, too, but even that I can’t hit a dinner plate at 50 yards. Not every time, anyway.

    I find the sights on the Super Blackhawk work quite a bit better.

    I didn’t see where you specified hand guns. I thought you were talking rifles. And yes, I own a couple Super Blackhawks. One a three screw. I also have a 629 Smith that will reach out for a handgun.

  29. Ok. We don’t bring out a rifle unless we see something through a window.

    Normal farm carry for me is a civilian 1917 .45. I carried a 1911 for a long time but had a bunch of problems with the safety (I’m a lefty). I’d find the safety clicked off when I had it on, nonsense like that.

    So I went to the Security Six. But it’s heavy as hell.

    So Jennifer found that M1917 revolver for me.

    I also carried around a lever action .357, but that turned out to be a pain in the ass, too.

    Easier to just strap on the revolver and a pouch of full-moon clips.

    I’m probably picking up another 1911 this week. I’D like to have one more before the festivities kick off. A Commander. I can still find 45 acp. 9 mil is gone. And I think will be fora long while.

  31. I love 1911s. I have my Brother’s Auto-Ordnance (he lives in DC and can’t have it) and that’s a fine pistol.

    Strangely though, it’s heavier than my Tanfoglio Witness!

    I fully loaded them both and put them on my refrigerant scale.

    1911 with 8 rounds was heavier than the Witness with 13 rounds.

    WTF?

  35. I was all set to pick up an SP-01 when the ammo started disappearing. I’m glad I didn’t now. Every damn one of these new gun owners that purchased a hand gun got sold a 9 mil. There’s a couple ammo manufactures that are backlogged over 10 million in 9. That’s crazy. It won’t be back for a long time.

  36. I only ever had one 9mm. It was a Taurus 92 copy. Wow! It couldn’t print paper at 7 yards.

    But my Dad had a Nazi P38 that was incredible.

    That Taurus was well made, but something was up. I don’t know, I didn’t take the time to work it out.

    I had a Marlin .30-30 that wouldn’t hit a car hood leaned against a tree at 25 paces. My Brother and I finally found a store load that worked. It only ate Winchester. Anything else and it was crap. I sold that piece of shit, too.

    That P38 was a work of art, though.

  37. The first 1911 I purchased was a Colt. I consider myself pretty good with a pistol, but I couldn’t hit the ground with that damn thing. Sold it, bought a Gold Cup that drove nails. I look back now and thing a simple barrel bushing change probably would have solved the problem. I had a Python too. Probably the most accurate hand gun I’ve ever shot. But the head spacing kept getting real big. So I sold it. I kick myself weekly for selling that gun.

  38. It’s mostly simple shit. I have a .303 Mk 4 that was a bit iffy.

    I put the next tighter head space screw-in on the bolt after fucking around for months. Ian Skennerton strikes again as being the dude.

    Hit a fist sized rock at 100 yards 10 out of ten on a rifleman’s stance. That’s the rifle, not me.
