Hah! Glad it finally arrived. Some of the "cures" are priceless. I like the Whiz bottle in particular.

Destry , Every time you post something it brings a smile to my face ,this one got a good laugh ! Congrats Richard ,maybe you wouldn't mind posting a previous photo so the new members could enjoy the annual sicle Shooting event we have all been privy to in the past ! :corn:

congratulations richard on the new award...and many thanks to destrey hoffard for the giving of this award....charlie

Stand by Russ; I'm predicting tomorrow to be a prime "cicle hunting" day... the appropriate stars and moon are properly aligned... it's time... that puppy is goin' down.

Destry: the Whiz bottle is vintage rubber cement. One little bottle to the right is all in Chinese or somesuch printing.

It's done
 

UPDATE: Sunday. Ok, the deed is done for another year. It was indeed a good hunting day and an easy stalk; it never saw me coming! I used black powder in the 10ga for the smoke n' flames effects, but didn't get any of either? WTH? Just a few sparks is all. That first pic should have smoke boiling out of the hole. Maybe use coarser BP next time, or maybe more powder? Oh yeah that's it, double the powder next time! Oh well, it worked...! Enjoy. See you next year... Gotta go clean the gun!

you are one brave soul richard....charlie

There's no real 'danger' Charlie, but you don't want to do it when it's too warm out... that's not pretty!

Nice to see that the "AWARD" found it's proper place on the back shelf. The decor in that man cave is awesome.:cool:

I wonder if that requires a stamp or a special license.

I sent my picture to my neighbor and this was his reply this morning:

"Yea, I shot ours with a 44mag rifle from the back a few times, then started using a steel spud chipper."
