  1. Seems when the Crusaders were attacking Jerusalem somewhere around 1100,
    (just outside the wall) they captured a Moslem and stuffed him in a catapult
    and hurled him over the wall. That was the first historical reference to
    "live ammunition".

    Too bad only the people from the show Jackass can do that now.

    I vote we do it with Lewis Farrakhan and pitch him over the wall between
    Israel and Palestine.

    How was elk hunting? Kill anything?

    You guys are just intolerant hate mongers. All you want to do is kill
    those poor [censored] [censored]. I say peace at all cost, even if it means
    the annihilation of Western civilization. Or at least Hank.


    Was thinkin' - mebbe Hank could demonstrate just how that original Moslem
    was catapulted over the wall in Jerusalem. (just be a matter of raising the
    money for his airfare.)

    He might like it. Neither of his bikes are *that* fast.

    Though braking might be an issue ...

    Not this year. It was pretty miserable out there. We camped out Saturday
    night on the south side of Mt. St. Helens. That's when we started to get
    those torrential rains. It snowed through the night, and rained through the
    day. Everything was a cold muddy mess. We only saw cows and that area is 3
    point or bigger. We stayed until Monday, and it was the same as Sunday, so
    we decided to pack it up and call it a year. A buddy of mine flew in from PA
    to go elk hunting, but that's the way it goes.

    Next year I'll be in Utah, so it should be better. I've been looking at a
    cat hunt, as well. In Utah, they can use dogs, whereas here, they can't.
    ~$1000 for a guided cat hunt will be cool. If I can get the oldest to bring
    his grades up from a B- to a B, I'll let him go.

    Did you get yours a 10/22?

    The major reason we have a shortage of deer and elk is because of the cat
    population in WA and OR. When they took away the ability to use dogs,
    everybody I know stopped hunting them. Cat populations in OR have gone
    through the roof since. The current "low" estimate of cats within our state
    is 12,000. The high estimate is 40,000. But just use the low estimate.
    Each cat kills an avarage of 1 large game animal per week. So, each cat
    kills 52 per year. On the low end, that's 624,000 per year. No wonder
    there's no deer left. The elk have faired better than the deer, I'm
    guessing simply because they are easier prey.

    Before the dog ban, the estimated cat population was 2,000 to 2,500. That
    was about 10 years ago.

    I shopped the entire Portland area to find this left handed bolt action
    Savage, with no luck. None in stock:

    My other son already has a 10/22 and I wanted something different for this
    little guy. And of course, being a left handed gun, I've got to special
    order it. So, this will be his Christmas present. 🙂
