| Warm, but not this warm thank god! |
It was really warm. A beautiful sunrise.
It was 46 degrees at 5:30am and 66 at 11:00am.
--I guess the deer decided to sleep in.

Hunting
I went hunting again on Sunday. Did I mention that hunting is now allowed in Virginia on Sundays?
It was a beautiful day to watch the sunrise. The temps were warm and in the 40s at dawn. With my new clothes I was nice and warm. I hunt in a county that allows the season to go through March 27 this year. They forgot to update my favorite map.
Net time out will be Black Friday!
--Any deer I get now will be for friends.

Fuck You Cancer
My brothers widow has cancer. It had been in remission for several years. Every six months I take her in for review of her scans just in case. Usually she is in and out and we are high fiving and going out to lunch.
Not this time.
Her cancer is back and aggressive, in three places. I got her sorted out with appointments for a PET scan and a surgeon, drove her home and settled with her daughter to care for her.
Be advised: I have little tolerance today for whiners, trigger warnings, offended pussies, or stupid hippies that don't realize how fucking stupid they are.
--If I could, I'd stay home today. I would be safer for the world...
Targets
A wave of political correctness hit a while back. Targets silhouettes suddenly had to be blue in stead of black. Targets that actually looked like people at all were being discouraged.
Zombie targets seemed to turn the tide.
Printable targets are now widely available now as well.
I like this target.
--Making a wide eyed O-face in the bad guy is fun.
:o
Solvent Traps?
This reminds me of the SBR Not-A-Shoulder-Stock for AR-15 pistols. This is Not-A-Suppressor set of parts. It even comes with a pilot hole jig.
--How about we just take suppressors off the NFA list. Or just eliminate the list.

Hunting Season Opens
Twelve minutes after dawn I harvested this nice little eight pointer.
By 7:30am I was washed up and drinking coffee in my sisters kitchen.
I had a knew knife and I was amazed the ease it cut through the rib-cage, sternum to collar in one slice. It was a K-Bar my wife gave me for Christmas last year. The only problem I had with the field cleaning was my rubber gloves had dried out, so I just worked with bare hands. Not too messy.
This one was big enough to have professional butchering done. That makes my wife happy. It keeps my kitchen from looking like a crime scene. I am a better hunter than a butcher. Just sayin.
--It was a good day, tater.
All .40s

| Beretta Cx4 |
I took .40 stuff for an easy shoot.
All my .40s are Berettas.
I took the following:
- 96D
- Px4
- Cx4
I was on the 50yard range and the Cx4 with an EOTech is a tack driver. The trigger on the thing need some work though. I have been shooting a lot of guns recently that have triggers smooth as butter.
--Very relaxing hour.
Evening Shoot
I have an annual membership at Elite Shooting Sports so there is no range fee.
I am going to be taking some guns this week that I have not been shooting much recently.
I will enjoy going by myself, taking my time, focusing on one or two firearms.
And one will always be a .22LR. I have several that need the dust knocked off.
--I will also be rocking the MP3 feature of my fancy muffs!

Cruz vs The Morons
A break action shotgun has few moving parts and a very simple action.
Apparently it has more moving parts than some ijits mouse finger in order to do a bit a fact finding before making a fool of themselves.
--Good times. If Ted gets the nomination, he has my vote.
Cars
I discovered that I have a requirement that will limit my selections.
My largest rifle case must fit inside!
I am actually considering a Crown Vic. Comfy ride and lots of room.
--My case fits neatly in the back seat.

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.
