Ah Sunday Morning !!!!! Day of Rest !!!!! Not for the Damned Goats round here it wasn't !!!! I got a call last night to tell me that there were Goats happily feeding in one of our Paddocks in low country ! So it was up just before dawn & then up around their only real escape route! I took the Long Branch with me & a box of the 180 gn Factory loads (PMC)that had come with the rifle . I figure I've got 200rnds to get rid of ,so why not ! I managed to re lease 7 goats from their Earthly burdens in a very short amount of time! I could of continued the hunt, But !!!!! For the fact I have a bad case of Shingles round my Left hand side of my Torso & I'm not feeling the best !Dave |

Thought you wern't on form last time I rang you mate! You got to slow down and take care of yourself. Sooner or later its going to be you and me sat in the box like the 2 old geezers on the muppet show taking the p**s out of the kids on here!  ------------- Rottie (PitBulls dad.) “If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons Born free taxed to death!!! |

I'll have you know Mr Sugden .I went to the Doc's on Friday when I got back from Roxby top have these damned Shingles seen to as their infected (home cure that went wrong ) & he informed me I have the Body of a 18yr old !!!!! In the next breath he informed me to give it back as I was giving it wrinkles   ! Your quite right though ,I've got to start living my age not my shoe size ! Dave |

We have these little Minni trucks being sold around here for around $3000.00 a peice .Not street leagal but has a dump bed on it with all 3 sides folding down like a truck tail gait and you can get them in 4 wheel dive with AC and Heat. they are importing them from Japan or China.
Dave the one with 4 wheel drive and AC and Heat would be great for your place. from what I have taken from your postings over the years, You have a lot of area to cover. You could put about 6 or 7 Goats in the bed of one of them little trucks.
If I had more usable land I would get me one. I should get one just to drive down to the Naighbors house on. But ClayMore face would call the cops on me .
A good pair of hip wadders is what I usually need to get around on the back of my property. But that is getting hard to do for me since My Knees are starting to give out. I messed my left knee up in the Army . Opened my eyes up one day and was looking at the bottom of a boot and didnt realize that it was my foot till I got up to run and I whent right back down . you talk about some pain.... ------------- "White Rhino" "Everybody's got to believe in something.

Dave youre' some boy! what a day for a lad not firing on all cylinders.
I could make a fine canoe out of seven goats and still have enough to make a bodhran (old war drum).

Actually a quad will probably be ideal for the ground you have to cover mate. Quite a few blokes are supposed to be using them up in the territory as hunting rigs. ------------- But the winters coming, And the snow will cover tracks, And I'll be watching, Because I'm hunting you - Sarah Blasko, The Gardens End |
