little squirl hunt
 

a friend called about 1.00pm this evening and wanted to know if i wanted to go squirl hunting...he had to twist my arm but i went...choice of gun was the parker 20 gh shells federal 7 1/2 7/8 ounce load...i too the granddaughters little daisey...well the hunt went well on the start with 3 squirls in the bag..now that 4 th squirl decided to go into a very fine patch of briars...we finally saw him and got him almost that squirl had died but it was hanging on to some vines in the death grip..i shook vines till i was wore out with no results finally my friend larry who was shooting a scoped ruger 22 said let me try shooting them vines well 4 shots later that squirl came tumbleing down...we went on and got 2 more making a total of 6..little daisey helped tree on four of the squirls and treed once on her on... and i was back to the house by 4.00and by 4.30 i was in a deer blind...did not see a deer but it sure was a good evening... charlie

Sounds like a great day out hunting. Nothing better. By the way, only 4 shots to clip the vines with the 22?.....would've taken me a whole box.

Be careful Charlie, one of those "high capacity" magazines in the ole Ruger could get you in trouble with the Feds.:shock::)

no need to worry on that my friend owns the 22 ruger.... it was a good hunt but im paying today for looking up all them tall trees..my neck and shoulders are really sore today..i ve took some aleves but they aint helping to much... charlie

Charlie your incorrectly taking the Aleve. The proper dosage is two 200mg tablets washed down with 4oz of your favorite Burbon. I tend to lean towards Jack Daniels :rotf:

Pound for pound, Jack Daniels is the best. There are some others that are better, but those are very expensive and not cost effective. IMHO

I have found a substitute that is about the same cost and very good if you can find it. Buffalo Trace is the name of it.

Pappy Van Winkle is the best bourbon I have tried, but it is very expensive and is getting harder and harder to come by.

As Gracie Allen said

In those days the best painkiller was ice; it wasn't addictive and it was particularly effective if you poured some whiskey over it.

I am going to remember that. :)

Haven't any of you awakened after a long evening and realized that you apparently got a load of bad ice?

There's no such thing as bad ice:nono:

No bad whiskey ever came out of Lynchburg, Tennesse.

I'll second that...I just had some as a matter of fact. The wife and I made a trip south for a vacation and my one and only request was to go to the Jack Daniels distillery. To make a long story shorter they had commerative bottles of their product for sale in about 6 different variations. I told the clerk that I'd take a case, "of which one sir" was the reply "each" was my reply.:glug::cheers:

I have a bottle of single barrel with my name engraved on it. The best part is the Jack Daniel's ice cream available at the ice cream shop in Lynchburg.

Rich - Was there a Red Cross blood donation center in the corner? :eek:

Try this when the car keys are safely tucked away. One part (I say part as I don't know how big your part is:rotf:) Jack D and one part Jack D Honey Gold served over ice. We call it a Honeysuckle Rose it's very good and potent.

Taking notes . . . :coffee:

John no I only bled a little as I spread it out over two credit cards:eek: We were visiting some of the Antique shops when an elderly asked me "Wern't you the person who bought all that wiskey?" Yes Mam was the reply then I told her it went well with an old family recipe. She looked confused and then I told her the recipe was for Ice!, and walked away.

I and my father are both Tennessee Squires, the club has a private room at the distillery and other privileges. I've not visited in years but have fond memories. These days I mostly stick with the fruits of Ireland for my whiskey drinking though.

Destry

Destry, Which Irish whiskies do you recommend?

I certainly hope he includes Bushmills 16 on his list - that is my "dish to pass" at the Catskills Bamboo Rodmaker's gathering :cheers:

Hmmm. Think I'm gonna start attending the rodmakers convention

Jameson is a good standard because most decent bars seem to keep it these days. I also like Paddy's, Redbreast, and Powers. For some reason Bushmills leaves me cold, it has a strange aftertaste on my pallet that I just can't handle.

That being said, I've been drinking my way through a bottle of Basil Hayden that I got from a ladyfriend as a Christmas gift. Being as how my mothers family is all originally from Kentucky, the aqua vitae from down that way has a special place in my heart as well.


DLH

I have a friend that swears by Redbreast. I have tried Jameson and Bushmills.
