on a lighter note...

Vashper - you still aren't mobilized! I am enjoying a rather good single malt this evening and happily offer you "За здоровье!" ...
Mutually!

Real story near fireplace.
I probably told you that our main hunting for moose (1-2 licenses a year) and wild boar is a roundup. The line of shooters is about 10 people, and 3-4 beaters. The beast enters the line randomly, someone is lucky, someone is not. There are people who have been going on such hunts for decades, but they already see only killed moose.
And now we have a young man in our team, by the way - a lawyer, he's only had a rifle for four years - and the beast comes out at him all the time. This season - two bulls. In the end, we made a remark to him that it was impossible. In response , he told this story:
"One provincial came to a big city, on business. And so he walks down the street, sees a bar, and thinks, "I'll go in, get a beer, and at the same time I'll pee." He went in, sat down at a table, looked around - and saw something strange. There are only men in the bar, and two are sitting, and one is stroking the other on the shoulder. "No, I'm not going to drink beer here, I'll go to the toilet and go on." He goes into the toilet and sees three men having sex. He runs out in horror and runs past the counter towards the exit. The bartender calls out to him, "Sir, is something wrong?".
"Yes! There, in the toilet, three men are having sex!".
"Yes? And tell me, in the middle - is he by any chance bald, with a red beard?".
"Yes! With a red beard!".
"Damn," the bartender says in frustration, "and he's lucky at poker too."

I bought the tubes for a while but then I found the cartons.

I did use old tubes to carry around in my pocket when I was hunting lizards on the boarder just outside of Douglas
I've got a partial carton of the Copperheads around here somewhere. Haven't used the pellet/bb gun in awhile.

The first gun I ever shot (not including my cap gun) was a pellet gun. I will have to ask my Dad what kind. But it takes one pellet at a time. There is still a carton of pellets on the hot water heater by their back door. The pellet gun is next to the door too. Same place it has been since I can remember!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
