Dennis the Menace Nusse is nuts, which was the American answer to request for surrender at the battle of the Bulge.

To me, a case is for two things: keeping the oil which WILL drain out of the bar oil reservoir from making a mess, and keeping you from cutting yourself on the bar/chain while walking by.

You forgot to include Africans, esp. ANC supporters....kill the Boer.

Shooting coaches can be a great investment for starting off new hunters right. Maybe ask the coaches what they recommend, having seen the complexities of fitting guns to small/light beginners.

That's one of the most elegant I've ever seen....it was a privilege viewing it.

Or bait a line with them and come back after the bigger cats...

You are right--they are great at 100 yds, and you can actually pick apart the bush layer by layer as you focus deeper into what is behind the next layer of trees and then change focus into the next layer. There is a reason deer can see you first, and it takes wise binocular use to even the odds.

Except for maybe the first tiger, superb taxidermy, in great settings.

I remember when you could hardly sell them at all--that and beef flank steak. We used to regularly grind that up in burger so it would sell. Now it's called fajitas and the unloved wings are spiced, dipped, more expensive, and well....you know the story.

+1 on the power tools...years ago an old man stopped in front of my house. Said he was the one who built it in 1954 (verified by the deed) AND THAT NOT ONE ELECTRICAL TOOL WAS USED TO BUILD IT! Just hand saws, brace and bit drills and hammers and such. Unbelievable, really.
