Sugar Creek Wanderer, 01-31-12
Wednesday, January 18th was the annual rabbit hunt at Sugar Creek Acres. This hunt wasn't as good as hunt week before. Spud, The Hunting Machine covered the tornado damaged conservation area, and managed to flush some rabbits two or three times. Now that shooter from previous week of having to fire four shots at one rabbit to put it down, didn't fire a shot but flushed three rabbits and the music, "there he goes". Spud flushed a rabbit in front of Mt. Man who missed. Spud chased a rabbit out of big brush pile, that ran in front of The Wanderer and he missed. Went over into West damaged area and Spud jumped a rabbit and yelped forth "some" music. Rabbit ran downhill into ditch, but didn't go into the real large brush pile. The rabbit came up out of ditch. Coming out the ditch to go into an orange hedge post pile - BUT - Mt. Man got a rabbit after two shots; which he gave to Dead Eye. That finished the hunt six rabbits of which some were jumped more than once. And the hunt ended with lunch of sliced turnips, two kinds of summer sausage and three different kinds of cookies, prepared by Mrs. Dead Eye. Another annual rabbit hut came to an end.
Wanderer never had any bird feeders out until Thursday, Jan. 19th - AND - one hour after hanging three here came some birds: gold finches in their ugly greenish/gray back color and chickadees. Friday, Jan. 20th, there were some Cardinals and a downey woodpecker at the suet.
No squirrels to be seen in the yard - BUT - yesterday there was two looking for pecans. Now did one remember where it planted one or smell it that another squirrel had buried? Picked up some ear corn and stuck them in the hollow spots on an old redbud tree and some on the picnic table. Well they found the corn, ate some but were not here Friday the 20th.
For three weeks straight have shot 28 for 40 with that Nitro Piston 177 cal pellet rifle. The Wanderer is striving for 40 for 40. The Wanderer has the "Did The Quail Drop" problem. Can't blame the gun as it has a nice smooth trigger, a good clear optics in scope - BUT - may be a mite heavy for the old man. A wood stock version weighs about 1-1/4 lbs. lighter; also Wanderer is partial to wood stocks. Jerry has some more on order - BUT - forgot to ask if : 22 cal or 177 cal - OR - wood or that ugly black stock type.
Generally go down to Jerry's Tackle & Guns daily to drink a cup of coffee, pick up a BOND/FAYETTE SHOPPERS, etc. Jerry said, "There was a guy who came in and said to give The Wanderer a message "to act his age or won't be reading his article". Well you got to keep a moving - AND don't do anything STUPID. There's eating right; exercising; have a hobby - AND - then there is hunting fishing; bow and arrow fishing; 3-D Archery - SASS cowboy shooting; Monday night pellet gun shooting - AND "ETC". That ETC covers a multitude of things.
November 6th, 2012 can't come soon enough to VOTE - AND - hopefully there will be a change that there will be integrity, creditability, family values, common sense - AND - our president, political administration, senators, representative (national, state, county, city) are believers and followers of being 100% constitution of these United States in their actions.
Sorry about above - BUT -SOAP BOX has been a building. Yes The Wanderer got his copies of: The Cowboy Chronicle with Col Dan article "The Dream or the Illusions". The preface his article with Thomas Jefferson's quote, "Yes, we did produce a near perfect republic, but will they keep it, or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of Freedom?'' (Coloneldan@bellsouth.net Article Archives).
We the people "--lost some Freedoms when Bush established "Homeland Security" and Obama with his "Fast & Furious" - OR - "GUN WALKER" - OR - "U.N. ARMS TREATY" that will do away with the Second Amendment of the CONSTITUTION and other parts of the CONSTITUTION - ETC.
Guns Save Lfie.com January 2012 issue of GUN NEWS had usual coverage on Eric Holder and Fast & Furious, and about "Gangs, Chicago Politicians Join Forces, ON HOLY ALLIANCE (Chicago Magazine, Chicago Mag.com) and other "North of I-80 NEWS". Guess nothing happens South of I-80!
As written before Nov. 6th, 2012 is the most important day for the people of these United States whom they elect a President and other elected officials.
Readers it is very important to read - listen - analyze - AND - VOTE November 6th, 2012.
Readers that are gun owners, shooters, etc. DON'T FORGET March 7, 2012 - IGOLD - Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day in Springfield. (For more info. GUNSSAVE LIFE.com).
You OLDSTERS keep above the turf - AND - don't do anything STUPID (lectures from those kids; like they never done anything STUPID).
SMILE, ALWAYS GETS WORST BEFORE IT GETS BETTER
