Official hunting fishing camping thread for Longhorns

[Son of Wasatch]

Fresh--- I'm hanging with my Msgt JSOC buddy tonight. He asked me if I was ever going to be able to lure you into town so you two can swap Air Force stories and have a few beers. I could guilt you a bit with the fact that he's disabled and a broke star recipient, but only a real ass hole would do that. but seriously, I'd really like to hang with you and I know my buddy would as well. He lives about a half mile from me in gruene. So we can hang whatever night is best for you. Get a hall pass bro!

Is your friend disabled, missing half a leg and lives in Copper River and has the most badass german Shepherd ever?

Is your friend disabled, missing half a leg and lives in Copper River and has the most badass german Shepherd ever?

Not to my knowledge. I'm scratching my head for the reference but I can't figure it out.

I did an appraisal of a house in Copper River subdivision. The guy who lived next door is a former special forces vet . He lost half his leg to an IED , we talked for a while. He was a really cool dude. When I met him, he asked me a question so I walked over to chat and his Germane shepherd immediately moved in position between me and his master. The dude did some hand signs and the dog stepped back and sat down. I don’t remember the conversation but I’ll never forget how badass his dog was.

When you described your friend, my first thought was this dude and his dog.

You sure it was a German shepherd and not a Belgian malinois? They look like shepherds but are just a little smaller. Incredibly train-able and loyal as well as savage.

Could have been, but if it was it would have been the biggest malinois I’ve ever seen.

It's pretty rare for me to voluntarily go into urban areas but ya never know. The occasional live game is the exception.

I'd be more apt to take y'all fishing or to my buddies hunting ranch out west. Almost 7k acres of private non-leased hunting.

Obviously, I'm at peace outdoors with the bugs and critters. Concrete, cars, bars, & a bunch of unknown people doesn't sit well with me anymore.

Totally understandable. He's got some lingering anxiety whenever we go places with crowds. He hates it because he loves going to events like Wurstfest but you can see his head is on a swivel the entire time and that keeps him from really enjoying himself. I've earned his trust over the years and before we go to places like that he knows that I've learned where to stand or sit in order to make him feel more secure because he knows I've got his six. But this is something I take very seriously and understand that I have a small roll to play to help guys like y'all have some normalcy in your lives. I've got a good buddy that runs a rafting guide service on the river--- maybe we set up a little fish and float.

I'm not sure why but every single one of those explosions the exploding object came flying back at the shooter.

Regarding the first two videos, the gene pool detritus in each decided that they would position themselves essentially facing what is structurally the weakest / least integrated part of the object they were shooting -- the hinged doors. It would have been idiotic to detonate the objects from that distance no matter their orientation (see the lawnmower man), but that decision certainly raised the already substantial risk of catching shrapnel.

I wonder what the average velocities of the flying doors were in those videos. Seems like 300 to 400 miles per hour to me.

Each one of those guys were way too close to be popping large metal objects. Especially because they embedded the explosive within instead of on the outside to direct where pieces will fly.

Some people are just dumbasses and that's why lighters, paint cans, tide pods, cough medicines, and more than 2 cool whip cans per purchase are restricted at Walmart. I'm sure I'm missing some other ridiculous products too.

No doubt. Just posted this as a PSA in case anyone who reads this board had any not-so-bright ideas.

Head over to academy and pick yourself up enough tannerite to pack a Folgers can full.
Mix a little diesel with a bag of corn and poor all around said can o boom powder.

When surrounded by hogs, let fly your supersonic round of choice straight into can.
Enjoy the raining bacon bits.

I WIll say this about corn and diesel. I see a lot of hunters on the interwebs saying they sour their corn and spray diesel on it or even marinate their corn in it to keep deer etc off of it. I can say for a fact that deer at my place eat sour corn as well as diesel corn. I fight them off of it and if I’m trying to pull hogs in to trap I have drop soured corn late evening right before those hogs show up

I don't know if there is any truth to it but I've been told hogs like to wallow in diesel soaked corn or dirt because it keeps off fleas and ticks.
Have definitely seen hogs eat it, but never a whitetail. Wouldn't surprise me because a year or 2 ago I witnessed a young buck walking to my feeder with a friggin leg bone in its mouth.

Good point about hogs liking to wallow in diesel though.

Chewing on a leg bone for minerals maybe?

That would be my guess as well.
Then again, maybe it was just playing fetch with his bros.

Going on an archery elk hunt early sept. I’ll try to remember to post here if anything exciting happens.
