Well I made the big move to the midwest in August, but now this company that I work for is not treating me right at all. So, I am leaving this one for a new one. I am going back to what I know.... Cattle and tractors. I got a job with a farmer in Allen Nebraska. I have a furnished 2 bedroom 2 bath house with a finnished basement out in the country RENT FREE, I get more pay, and better bouns. I have about 150 calfs at the house that I will be feeding out and another 250 head of cow calf. Then come planting season I have alot of corn and beans to put in the ground. So I guess I will not be around here as offten, but as soon as I get service at the house I will be able to check in in the evenings. I start the new job this coming monday. So wish me luck!!!

hehehehe I would but then Andrea would get to ban me, and I dont want to give here that satisfaction:D:D:D

I am disgusted:mad: And that little fairy that was "drummed out" of the Corps., is no formor Marine, he is a dirtbag piece of junk, and does not rate to have the same title as I do. I just dont understand people like that. Give California back to Mexico I say. They are all just a bunch of tree huggin, pansy little freaks anyway.:mad::mad::mad:

The only way liver is good, is on a treble hook:D:D

Hehehehe I just pooped and she thinks it was Grandpa:D

No I didn't make it out there. I sure would have liked to though. That and I just want to eat some of that prime rib out there. I drive past it every other day on my way to Cherokee and Storm Lake, but have never stopped.

Daniel Myers of Sioux City displays the rack he brought to Theo's Steakhouse at Lawton, Iowa, on Sunday for the restaurant's annual Big Buck Contest. The 14-point buck weighed close to 300 pounds. (Photo by Tim Gallagher) Deaf Sioux City man never hears his buck a comin' LAWTON, Iowa -- Hunters circle a long table at Theo's Steakhouse, pulling and picking at any of nearly 100 prize racks from deer season. It's the Big Buck Contest, a January rite at the restaurant. Hunters in camouflage caps and boots down a few brews, lie a bit and laugh a lot, spilling their tales of recent hits and misses. One hunter stands quiet, communicating with a smile and his hands. He is Daniel Myers. He is deaf. Myers spends several days each fall in a tree, somewhere in Plymouth County. A seasoned pro, he isn't about to divulge his precise location. The 52-year-old sits and waits at about the same spot each October, soaking up sun, wind, rain and cold. His season began Oct. 1. Ten days later he shot a 14-point buck that stood 20 yards away. The 300-pound animal ran 50 yards after Myers' arrow pierced its heart. Myers sat for 30 minutes before climbing down to inspect his trophy. Sioux City taxidermist John Bunch says Myers' buck scored 182 7/8 points, one of the top racks showing Sunday at Theo's. The point total surpasses the hunter's expectations. In sign language, Myers uses his hands to show "horns" atop his head. He then wipes his chin and finishes the statement with a sign of thumb and pinkie outstretched. "Buck. Best. Ever," his daughter Jenny Christophersen interprets. "He's hunted for 20 years and this is the best he's gotten. He couldn't wait to see how it scored. It's better than he thought." The rack will join others in his bedroom at home. When I ask him about hunting and his inability to hear the grass stir below, he smiles and points to his wide green eyes. "His eyes," his daughter Jenny Christophersen says. "That's all he can use." Myers practices calling deer by rattling antlers together in a shop owned by buddy Rich Stolpe. Stolpe motions to him when the rattling is too high or too low. When Myers hunts, he feels the vibration of the antlers, his only guide. "I told him he got a helluva deer because he's so quiet," says Bunch. "I bow hunt and when the squirrels make noise or the leaves rustle, you know a deer might be coming. I don't know how Dan does it." Myers shrugs his shoulders when I ask. He thinks, glances at the other racks on the table and signs his answer. "He likes to bow hunt because it is more challenging," his daughter says. "He likes hunting in general because he's alone and out in nature." Myers will spend the rest of the winter shoveling and doing odd jobs for neighbors. Come spring, he'll practice his turkey call for Stolpe, then head south for turkey season. When I ask where he hunts turkey, his daughter says, "Onawa." I'd like a more specific site. So I ask, "Can you tell me where around Onawa?" Myers reads my lips, smiles and shakes his head. His sign for "No."

Its not a redo, but the last book Comanchee Moon. This is another one where Gus and Call are younger Texas Rangers.

Lonesome Dove is one of the greatest westerns ever made, but the second one and Dead Mans Walk when Call and Gus were younger just aint as good in my book. I will watch this one, but it just wont be the same without Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones:D

Thanks Dale. Something needed to be said, even if it dosent help the matter:confused:

Sounds like a good time Dale. I got to do that once on the ranch I grew up on in Texas. Them critters cant outrun you when your buzzin around over them:D

It's a long distance relationship Randy Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Why is it that you feel the need to stir things up on here all the time? We are a group of good people here and as far as I have seen have been very patient with your uneducated remarks. If you like it here fine, if you dont thats fine too, but cut the crap. If you wanna talk hunting and fishing then lets talk. If not, go find another forum to disrupt. I for one am very tired of your smart remarks, and know for a fact alot of others are too. Do us all a favor and keep to the subject and funloving of this forum or leave. Cpl.

I love how polite Americans are with the "Yes ma'am" Im serious its nice to be nice. Yes ma'am we are polite. Most of us were raised to be that way even if you dont mean it;)

You should see the amount of yanks here We are just tring to spread out and make the rest as the world as good as the U.S.A.

Have fun, be safe, and keep your powder dry Bud!! And I think you will have plenty fun even if you aint in scotland;) Looks like they all want to come here anyway, so I dont see what so great about it.....................

Nice moves there Jason:D. That game is awesome!! I got one yesterday, and already finnished the game on easy. Now if I can just train my pinky finger to hit that dang blue button I will move on to the next level:eek:

Great bowjoe, now they are gonna move this to the politic room hehehe!!

gun control Montana style!! [ NOW THIS IS A STORY WORTH TELLING. THIS STORY EXEMPLIFIES GUN CONTROL AS IT SHOULD BE A Shooting in Butte , Montana Shotgun preteen vs. illegal alien Home Invaders Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun. Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals. When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45 caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest. Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news.... Now that is Gun Control . Thought for the day Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant"..... is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" That's what I talkin about!!! You go little girl:D:D

what do you mean buckee?

I remember that scene Andrea. You ought not talk like that uuuuuuummmmmhhhmmmmmmm:D

Sounds like a little overkill to me.

After that the brothers-in-law and I go back to the farm and all the wifes will come out and have a skeet shooting comp. Church Sun. morning and then more pheasant hunting. Monday we will eat the brisket, and do gifts and what not. Christmas day we will drive home, because I have to work the next day:mad: Yall have a good one!!!
