Kind of an amusing morning…I thought some of you hunters might enjoy this… Our new house in Texas backs up on a nice little grove of live oak trees, and there are quite a few deer back there. Earlier this morning I was having my coffee on the back porch, watching ‘my’ deer in the yard. Literally 10-15 yards away from me. Kind of relaxing. To put it all in perspective, the last pic is a full view from my patio into the backyard. The deer really are close to the house. I had 3 bucks, and 2 does hanging out, pretty oblivious to me. A ‘basket rack’ (high tines but not very wide) 8 point, a 4 point, and a spike buck were all sniffing around the does. I couldn’t grab my phone fast enough, but the 8 point put his head down and charged the spike, who wasn’t having any of that! He ran off with his tail tucked. The 4 point is watching intently, I doubt he’s going to tangle with the bigger buck, but when the rut kicks into full swing, that might be fun to watch! We also have a MUCH bigger buck that hangs out here too. Big 8 point, with a pretty wide rack. He must be sleeping in this morning. I imagine there will be a fight between some of these bucks soon. If I can capture it on video, I will. Kinda neat to watch deer politics.

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

Well they won’t involve a crockpot, that’s for damn sure.

11.5" BA. Modern series I think. A5 buffer tube, springco green spring and A5H2 buffer

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.

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.

I got a new Rossi .38/.357 lever rifle 40 years ago and I love it! I can't speak for their quality today though.

Rossi is a crap shoot. Some are absolutely fantastic, while others are garbage. Most of the people I know that own a Rossi are satisfied, but few are tickled pink over them.

These two guys are 25’ from my house right now. I think there is gonna be a fight.

Is Napalm allowed? I mean, if yer gonna light em up....

We can get a hog hunt together any time. No seasons, no bag limits. Take all you want, don’t bring ‘em back. Deer, probably next fall.

When is the first NJGUNFORUMS Texas hunt? Next fall?

It was a practical session in the psychology class. The professor showed a large cage with a male rat in it. The rat was in the middle of the cage. Then, the professor kept a piece of cake on one side and kept a female rat on the other side. The male rat ran towards the cake and ate it. Then, the professor changed the cake and replaced it with some bread. The male rat ran towards the bread. This experiment went on with the professor changing the food every time. And, every time, the male rat ran towards the food item and never towards the female rat. Professor asked the students : This experiment shows that food is the greatest strength and attraction, do you agree? Then, one of the students from the back rows said: "Sir, why don't you change the female rat? This one might be his wife!" The professor stood straight up his finger pointing towards the student and said "You got an A." ************************************************************************************************************************************** Political spin How the Government spins their bullshit !! Judy Wallman Biden, a professional genealogy researcher in South Dakota, was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that President Joe Biden’s great, great uncle, Remus Biden, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Texas in 1889. Both Judy and President Biden share this common ancestor. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Galveston, Texas. On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: "Remus Biden horse thief, sent to Galveston State Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Galveston & Southern Flyer six times. Caught by Texas Rangers detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889." So Judy recently e-mailed the President for information about their great, great uncle, Remus and a few days ago President Biden's staff sent this response back: Remus Biden was a famous cowboy in Texas in the 1880s. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Galveston & Southern railroad. Beginning in 1885, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Texas Rangers. In 1889, Remus passed away suddenly during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed. Now THAT, Kids, is how it's done in politics! Oh c'mon..... you knew this would be funny half way through

Be careful what you wish for. For the sake of 2A in NJ we need to hope Sweeney really did find votes. You think whoever takes over Senate President will table Murphy's gun control agenda? Only other hope is SCOTUS NY ruling is so broad that it strikes down almost all firearms laws because shall not be infringed means just that.
