Book looks more and more like prophecy..
Need a sequel! Maybe a novella? Short stories alluded to like the fellow in Africa? |

Elk hunt a week or so ago. 13 days. No elk. Very rewarding. That is the middle of a twelve mile 2000
vertical day. It was...difficult. GENERAL NOTE: 1. Will read and catch up to these posts shortly. 2. Reality has not entirely surpassed fiction, but getting much closer much faster than I had "hoped"-- but I don't do "hope"--and I highly recommend that no one else do "hope." 3. Reality has surpassed/modified the time line/view of what I had considered to write in the future. I assume that I will, but cannot guarantee it. For the time spent "writing" I might have made...ten cents an hour? But other purposes were served, and served well. We shall see. 4. If everyone who understands this book does not live in/move to a state that had a 60/30 ratio in our favor within the next "few years"--they will be sorry. No proper names, as usual. 5. There is nothing left that can be fixed with "understanding." Do not ruminate/speculate on what this might mean on any public forum. DCB |

--BigdAm--yes indeed. O3a3 serial number dates to about mid 1943 and two groove barrel is '44.
Carried about...25 pounds of completely not needed metal/ammo/etc. Good friend had a zone 48/Sawtooths first rifle tag. I had wolf tags. Deal was he shoots elk, I get to shoot any wolf (likelihood:....of seeing/shooting wolf about...um.....(.)00001 of one percent. But my goal is to dress up like a pirate (not that pirate) as opposed to "practical" hunting. Was a nice gear/fitness check. Pretty much how I want to spend rest of life--but in desert/high desert. |

It’s a Remington 700 in .17Remington topped with an old Leupold vx1. It shoots 30gr Berger’s at about 3900fps with 22gr of Varget. It’s excellent for coyotes, especially since I put up the fur. No exit holes. |

Nuff said at this time. --Stjmnmiv--yeah chat AROUND the forge. Smart. --Field/MP--the first big signal will be a "nuke" in an unpopulated place .re "the book."

Assume it/they will be used. --GreenG I do have a fusion powered DeLorean. --TrueBlueTexas much thanks, and...tell your friends. See how that works? WHO DO YOU KNOW that you would "want" to send this book? It is not an "easy" book, is it? --highstepper much thanks! --Former11b--no it is not good at all I'm afraid. Just normal "history"--accelerated. Grim grim grim. --Ghost1--my timing is poor. There should be a hard-copy. I will just say, after loh these many years: still pending. --APNslickback, good to see you--audiobooks are (long subject) "not easy/very expensive" and likely to "miss" some messaging that has to be "seen." But your request has other merits. I do not have an answer at this time. --highstepper have not looked ahead if you have not done so please post a review, recommend to "a friend/s" if possible.

I have been calling coyotes for 40 years and have yet to put eyes on a cat yet, but in their defense I am only on stand for about ten minutes and gone. |

 Attached FileMerry Christmas everyone. I’m back home in VA and picked up a S&W 41 mag today from the man who taught me how to trap. Also none of you old farts out there are allowed to die, we need everyone of you. While I was visiting he started pointing specific things out he wants me to have when he dies (he’s been going downhill for awhile), that shit was absolutely heart breaking. |

We'll all be there though, and hopefully the material things are the least of what we pass on. I checked in here today to see if anyone had anything to say about the Nashville explosion. I'm starting to realize that we're living in "interesting" times. |

A word of advice - make sure he puts it ALL in a written will.

His stupid wife allowed “an old friend” to take care of my uncle’s things despite knowing what his wishes were. I got a few of his guns (but none of his Brownings or either of the Glocks I did the armorer’s work on), didn’t get his Harley or the car he wanted me to have despite her promising them to me. The “old friend” made off with them. And that’s just the tip of it.... I’m only 48, so I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. I’ve still got a lot of stuff to teach/pass on to my 10 yo son. |

GENERAL NOTE: will be pure sci-fi zone post Jan. 20. FFFFFF. Really don't know what
I can say here. Thinking about it, obv. --Trapshooter12--been reading as much as I can about calling predators, including cats/any cats and even black bears. Super interesting. Inclined to walking/stalking/roaming as opposed to high altitude static set-up spotter-scoping--so seems ideal. Watched a ton of the youtube mountain lion/dog tracking videos--fascinating but not something I will likely ever do. If I ever get a mountain lion will be pure luck I suppose. --Merry Christma mniv and all! --greyguy much thanks. Not easy getting to Idaho. About twenty time a day "Oh F I made it...really." --CTrapper--awesome pistol/caliber. The notes here on transfer of artifacts--super important. Have watched several friends hand off their artifacts--yep, heart-breaking. --DFarm--artifacts "resonate"--visual cue to value systems. I think I have quite a few years left but am very mindful that all my "stuff" should last thousands of years with modest maintenance-- where will it go? --greyguy yes I am where I want to be geographically. Amazed every day. Another two months of post-election observation and gear prep and will be pretty much plug-and-play for as long as still healthy. Also understand family ties/etc. Sometimes they will/must rule. --32Dohc--feel very strongly that some form of "partition" better than any other future solution. Requires maximum density of like minds in same places. Get here ASAP! |
