Blastin' and Castin' in the Texas Outdoors: Remember this Picture

Blastin' and Castin' in the Texas Outdoors

We havea lot of good times, the road was a drug when we started way back, our wheels rolled on steady, now its forgetting the race to find an open space and leaving that city far behind We’ll be up in the morning before the sun, since anything beats working on the job and everyone knows the early worm gets the fish. The world is your oyster, let the high times carry the low, walk where the sun is shining, lay your burdens down and think to yourself that it sure feels good feeling good again.

WOODY said...: I PICKED UP A BOX OF HIGH BRASS 3"ERS LOADED WITH #4, ANY IDEA ON WHAT CHOKES ARE IDEAL I WAS SHOOTING DEAD EYE ON DOVES THIS YEAR WITH THE FULLS IN THE O/U, BUT IM QUESTIONING MY ABILITIES WITH THE FULL TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT SCARE FACTOR. CANT WAIT TO HEAD THAT DIRECTION, LOOKING FORWARD TO FREEZING MY ASS OFF AND ALL OF US GETTING A BAD CASE OF THE AVIAN STIGMATA.

Z, I LOADED UP 70 ROUNDS FOR THE TRIPLE DEUCE LAST NIGHT IN SIX DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS

20 IMR 3031 22.4 GR, SIERRA 52 HPBT
10 H335 24.1 GR, SIERRA 52 HPBT
10 IMR 3031 22.6 GR, HNDY 55 V-MAX
10 H335 24.6 GR, HNDY 55 V-MAX
10 IMR 24.1 GR, NOSLER 55 BTIP BT
10 H335 24.6 GR, NOSLER 55 BTIP BT

LOOKING FORWARD TO SHOOTING THIS BAD BOY, HOPEFULLY AT SOME CRITTERS BUT TARGETS WILL SUFFICE; 3:17 PM
steven-hoffman said...: I also have intentions to bring the .270 and the 90gr HP bullets if you are considering setting up the chrono. Otherwise I will leave it here in Bryan.

Does pheasant hunting happen in the early morning / evening like everything else? What about mid-day?

For pheasant I am bringing high brass #4's and a change of underpants.; 5:24 PM
steven-hoffman said...: My current projection is that I will have the gun box full, a duffle full of assorted ammunition, some warm clothes, a medium icechest, a certain small yellow icechest and is about it.

I don't need to shoot a mile, I just want to fulfill my curiousity about velocities. So I can do the math and determine just how much energy I am sending into the pigs/deer with each of my favorite loads.

Limiting the amount of gear will allow me to drive the rice rocket and save 50% on the gasoline bill.; 6:28 PM
WOODY said...: z, i ended up talking bass pro into letting me have one of their nikon buckmaster 4.5-14x40mm scopes for $249.00 reg 279.00. This one is a little defferent due to the reticle being just a standard nikoplex rather than the mildot i put on the big boy. didnt seem necessary to put the mildot on the triple deuce seeing that the scope would out shoot the gun.; 4:04 PM
steven-hoffman said...: What is it like to have money to spend on things like scopes and guns?; 4:58 PM
WOODY said...: NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE 5 SHOT .009 GROUP THERE CHRIS. TELL ME MORE ABOUT IT. THAT SEEMS LIKE ALMOST AN UN MEASURABLE GROUP, MIGHT AS WELL BE A ONE HOLER.; 7:28 PM
WOODY said...: YEAH YOU SHOT THAT ONE THE SAME WEEKEND THAT I SHOT THE .258 GROUP WITH THE 30-30 AT 500 DIDNT YOU? THAT WAS AN AWESOME DAY, PLENTY GOOD WEATHER EXCEPT FOR THE SNOW AND 20 MPH CROSS WIND. BUT THE TEMP WAS A PLUS AT JUST OVER 90 DEGREES CELCIUS. I COULDNT BELIEVE THAT I WAS ABLE TO SHOOT THAT WEEKEND HAVING JUST HAD MY LIVER REMOVED AND REPLACES WITH A WHISKEY BOTTLE. i THOUGHT FOR SURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY TOO SORE. BUT AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THE PAIN AS MY RIGHT EYE WAS THROBBING FROM THE BATTERY ACID THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED FOR HYPOGLYCEMIA. BUT YEAH YOU SHOULD TELL US ABOUT THE .0089 AS I DONT REMEMBER IT ALL SINCE THE GOVERNMENT ERASED MY MEMORY IN 1964.

CANT WAIT
