Can't think of a clever SNARK thread title, Snark thread.

Got up and headed out to hunt this morning, and didn't see a thing :( although I did find a fallen pine full of fat wood, so there's that.

Going back out tonight, hopefully I'll see somęthing

It does, but the list it as Irish. Which isn't technically correct, as Gaelic can be either Scots or Irish with a few dialects in between. Besides, speaking Gaelic wouldn't help; you'd need to be able to read it ;).
So....use your imagination....





....and it's Cyrillic, for the most part. And complete gibberish - unless I made up a word accidentally.

That's how my pig-hunting mentor does it. Apparently it takes the gaminess out if there is any, but the sows are generally not bad compared to the boars. He does the soak with vinegar for a day, then changes to just water and ice for a day, then another water/ice change for a third day. After that, it's trim any fat or bruised meat, dry it off and wrap it for the freezer.

The rifle is an AR that I built myself in 300BLK (or 300 AAC Blackout, if you prefer). The lower is registered as a short-barreled rifle and was made with a DS Arms lower, standard lower parts kit, Geissele Super-Tricon trigger, and VLTOR E-MOD stock. The upper is a 10.5" Palmetto State Armory CHF (machine gun steel) barrel with pistol length gas system, a free-float hanguard,NP3-coated bolt carrier group from DS Arms, and an AAC 51T flash suppressor. The suppressor (some would say "silencer") is an AAC 762-SDN-6. Also have a Streamlight TLR-1 Game Spotter (green LED) light mounted on top of the barrel and a Leupold VX-R 2-7X Firedot scope.

First time in the field with this rifle, since I just built the upper before my 9-week stint in El Paso. Got it sighted in when I got back, and finally got a chance to take it for a spin. Very happy with how it performed.

Also, first time to use some BK's for dressing out a pig. I used my 15 and 16 for the work. Started with the 16, but found that I preferred the trailing tip for most of the work, and particularly for removing the loins. This solidifies the 5 and 15 as my favorites!

Not having homemade pepper sauce/relish/sludge is just a cryin' shame. No civilized human bean should have to endure such a hardship. :eek:

I can help you with that. E-mail me your address again and I'll hook you up. :thumbup: (be warned, it's NOT super-duper crazy burn-your-face-off spicy... so if that's what you're into, you're on your own.)

good taste with heat = win.
burn your face off for no good reason is useless.
sauce should accent the food, not dominate it. :D PM incoming!
(as soon as you clear some out...)

Yeah!!!! Finally got my very own Parangatang!



So I also got a Baconmaker in. Thought I was gonna like it more than I do. May end up getting rid of it. Not sure yet.

I do like my old potbelly though. And I guess they haven't sold a lot of Baconmakers cause they still have the old coating and are roll stamped.

You forced me to dig mine out... I hadn't noticed it, but my Baconmaker has the roll stamping as well. I'll have to test the JAB knives out at some point, but I'm thinking, like you, that the Potbelly may be the most useful.

I've got one that looks like the bottom picture. Snagged it out of the basement last time I was visiting home in Missouri. My younger brother and I spent many hours on opposite ends of it felling oak trees and cutting them to length for firewood. My dad insisted on doing all the splitting with his double bit axe.

Happy Birthday, Trade! That is very nice. Bigghoss had asked if it was a Model 66, which is isn't (they all have shrouded ejector rods). I believe it is a Model 63, .22 kit gun, is it not?

Good luck Spike!

Whew...finally caught up!
 
An 80 year old man was having his annual checkup, and the doctor asked him how he was feeling.
"I've never been better!" he boasted.
"I've got an eighteen year old bride who's pregnant, and having my child! What do you think about that?"

The doctor considered this for a moment, then said,
"Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day went out in a bit of a hurry, and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his rifle."
The doctor continued, "So he was in the woods, and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed it at the bear, and squeezed the handle."
"And do you know what happened?” The doctor queried.
Dumbfounded, the old man replied "No."
The doctor continued, "The bear dropped dead in front of him!"
"That's impossible!" exclaimed the old man. "Someone else must have shot that bear."
"That's kind of what I'm getting at..." replied the doctor.

Right. Shoulda noticed that.
 
Just a quick shout out to Dex.

Not only does he do what he says hes gonna do, but he sends a shipping confirmation email, whenever he ships you something. You not only get to know the min its shipped, you get the tracking number in the email as well.
Just a fantastic touch imho. I have done a reasonable amount of online business and I LOVE that he does this, because not everyone does. Thanks Dex.
 
Dex is good people.

Just fried up some thick sliced, apple wood smoked bacon. Damn that was good.
