These two guys are 25’ from my house right now.

[sigh]  Yannoooo.  That's just plain mean.  The pix you posted,  it's like showing pix of S Korea to N Koreans, Taiwan to mainland Chinese.

At our house in the suburbs our record was 32 does crossing our lawn, from the woodlot to the woodlot on the other side.   I took this photo on another day when 23 had assembled on the side lawn (not quite all made it into the photo)  These are maybe 40' from the house.  It's not a big side lawn.  We're in a no-hunting town, of course.   More typically we have 10 or 12 does that never leave the cul-de-sac.   

For the last month or so, we've also had one nice 4 pt (western count) buck and two spike bucks chasing them around.

We have about a dozen that pass through our backyard at various times of the day. 
That big buck beds down right behind our house, literally 25’ from my porch. Wife (and the community regulations) say I can’t shoot them. That’s frowned upon, I guess. 
 

Damn it.

I'll bring the crock pot.

Good idea.  After completing all that work on the gun, he'll need to confirm the point of impact hasn't changed.

Lol. Yeah. Cost more than it is worth, but was fun to do. 

Sometimes value isn't just about the dollars.  You will enjoy that scatter gun for a long time, fondly remembering how you were strong armed into giving it a makeover.  We are from the forum, and we're here to help ;)

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
