Latest Hunting
11.16.07About a week ago, Jonas took himself a nice 9 point whitetail. He was watching a power line clearing one day after work, and out he stepped.
I helped him gut it and bring it home. Unfortunately I didn’t have my Nikon D50, so I wasn’t able to get any good photos.
Ryan and I sat out in the Wolf Lodge tree stand this morning. We got out there at dark 30, sat and watched. It’s late in the season, so we’d both be happy with a doe fawn at this point.
About an hour into it, a big doe steps out good and broadside. She was about 60 yards away when I stopped her, and told Ryan to take the shot. It cleared her back by an inch or so. She ran off, and sounded the alarm. Ryan didn’t calculate the rise in the bullet at that distance, plus the rise in the bullet from shooting down.
I wish I had my digital camera rolling. It woulda been good to ruffle his feathers. Anyways, I’m so “fortunate” that I get to miss a week of hunting season to spend it down in San Diego, Mexifornia. Too bad there wasn’t a season for border jumpers. Maybe there will be if Ron Paul gets elected. So I’ll be down there from this Saturday till the next. We’ll see what happens.
Ron Paul huh. Sounds like somebody was talkin politics in the woods. You gotta hand it to those “Ron Paul Revolution” folks, they are persistent.
# November 16th, 2007 at 2:15 pmYea… Ryan is a staunch Ron Paul supporter. But they definitely are making Ron’s name to be known. Aside from Ron’s comments that stir the media up.
# November 16th, 2007 at 2:21 pmIf Ron Paul wasn’t so crazy AND if he supported victory over in Iraq, I would vote for him. I just can’t ignore those two things.
# November 16th, 2007 at 2:29 pmI’m a Ron Paul supporter, although I’m not 100% on his platform… outside his Iraq stance (we’re there already, we have to come out with a win regardless) he represents what the GOP SHOULD represent; a strong, small-government, constitutionalist approach.
Although I doubt he’ll get past the primaries he’s sure knocked the GOP establishment on it’s ass and got them to listen somewhat with an overwhelming fanatical grass-roots appeal and support, something the GOP is short on… hmmm, maybe there’s something to his message.
# November 17th, 2007 at 1:55 amBTW, guess which candidate both GOP and Democrat has the largest fund raising support from within the Military… yup, Ron Paul.
# November 17th, 2007 at 1:56 amJJ, out of interest what makes him crazy in your opinion?
# November 17th, 2007 at 1:59 amI’ve been reading a bunch about Paul and his supporters pulling crazy shinanigans. Mostly over at Pat Dollard.
# November 17th, 2007 at 12:42 pmStevil, I don’t know if he is actually crazy or not. What I was suggesting is that everytime I listen to the man speak, he comes off nuttier than a fruitcake.
# November 17th, 2007 at 4:24 pmI will of course no doubt be supporting the final GOP nominee BUT I think Ron Paul is speaking to a lot of positions that are true Constitutionalist Conservative positions and his continued presence can only pressure the others to talk about these issues that they try to avoid or ignore.
It’s true there is a crazy fringe of Ron Paul supporters but much like anything else you can’t use them as a rule to define the majority.
