Gotdam that was terrible. It was like a monkey fucking a football except the monkey was drunk and there was no football.

GFS still sees it today, except into a different part of Louisiana (or Port Arthur) now and three days later.

2021-2022 hunting thread
I spent the first part of the week at my place in Scurry County and saw hardly any birds. Saw so few on Monday and Tuesday that instead of hunting on Wednesday my brother and I built a gate instead. I think I saw a grand total of 12 birds over the entire 4 days I was there. Going back in three weeks with my kids and I'm hopeful a good front will have passed through by then and blown some down.

It looks like Jeff isn't on periscope anymore and has moved over to a subscription site? Still on twitter though. https://twitter.com/Jeff_Piotrowski/status/1431673756888535046?

This close to dove season, I guess people will buy whatever they can find. That said, all three of the Academy stores near me had several flats of Estate brand for sale in 12 gauge #7.5 and #8 the last time I was inside. And lots of individual boxes of Federal 20ga #8. I prefer #9 for skeet but #8 works in a pinch.

This is what the SG Ammo guy wrote in his newsletter this week. I didn't realize how much in "western" calibers was being imported. Standing outside the CD door, but not actually going in, I wonder if the Biden Admin might see this as a feature and not a bug.

It would be an improvement if that happened. Damn thing is rickety and scary as hell.

All of the models this morning are pointing at Louisiana. The center is going to form further north than everyone original thought and it's going to take a straight line across the western tip of Cuba straight to New Orleans. Supposedly.

Deja vu from almost exactly one year ago. Straight at Galveston and then a turn north at the last minute to Lake Charles. Gotta feel bad for them if it verifies, I was driving through there about a month ago and there are still a lot of blue tarps on the roofs. All of the models are clustering around Louisiana this morning. (recognize that it's still very early)

Latest GFS has moved north towards the Euro this morning and takes it up the Rio Grande. A month ago I would have loved this possibility for south and west Texas to get some heavy rain, now it will ruin the shit out of the dove hunting right before the season starts.- The Gun Owner’s thread
Everything on Ammoseek appears to be up by 10-20% today. I bought some Federal 270win 140 grain earlier this week for $1.99 per round. Same stuff today is $2.40 from the same seller. Damn.- 2021-2022 hunting thread
Very excited for hunting season. My uncle passed away in February and my aunt sold me their country homestead because she wanted to move back into town (Snyder, Scurry County). 20 acres for the immediate homesite and another 800 acres of jointly owned family land surrounding it on two sides. Sad not to have my uncle around anymore, but excited to be able to keep the land and the house in the family. My brother has kept a feeder out there for several years behind the farm house. My uncle, who was housebound in his later years, loved looking at the pictures that would come in from the camera. He called them his "house deer" and they were (still are) off limits. There are several doe and fawn pairs that come by daily, along with some pigs as well. However, the first buck of the year showed up this past week: As did a couple of coyotes: And I think this is a dove taunting us in advance of the opener next month:- The Gun Owner’s thread
My favorite handgun I own is a totally impractical Sig P320 full size in 45 ACP. Goddam hand cannon that holds 10+1 rounds. It's too big to be concealed on the body or in the car, but damn it's a sweet gun to shoot. You feel like a movie star just blasting away with that thing. Also fits into my big mitts perfectly. FYI - Because I'm still nouveau riche and spend too much money on toys, I'm seriously kicking around the idea of a Wilson 1911 in 45. Totally unnecessary but just feels really cool.- The Gun Owner’s thread
When I first got into guns, I bought me a 4" 357 magnum S&W 686. Thought it was cool and macho but I couldn't shoot it worth shit no matter how much I practiced.. Can shoot 38 pretty well, but the 357 is just a pain in the ass and I've quit trying to shoot that gun. Much prefer 45 ACP if I need a bigger handgun than 9mm. Come at me bro, I know I'm being a weak loser poser and I don't care.- The Gun Owner’s thread
LOL. Me too.- The Gun Owner’s thread
Thanks. And I'm back to judging others as well for trading their long term health for a donut. Nature is healing, just like my O2 levels.- The Gun Owner’s thread
Agreed. This was a risk I knew was possible and I drew the inside straight and got covid pneumonia and now I'm going to have to heal for a few weeks. It happens. I was asked that question a lot in the hospital and to everyone's credit there, NO ONE judged. All the doctors and nurses were very respectful.- The Gun Owner’s thread
Did not. Having some second thoughts on that but still wrestling with it.- The Gun Owner’s thread
Thank you. Been home 48 hours now and I already feel miles better, but it's going to take a while to get back to "normal". Just hate sitting on my ass. Need to be more active than this. - 2021 Hurricane & Cyclone Thread
