The Czickness LII….it is the grey time of year. Tungsten Grey that is…

Passing on turkey hunting today as it's going to be raining, just about choked on what it costs to get a taxidermy mount done these days.

My youngest got his first deer two seasons ago and I paid for the mount. I think it was like $600? He went to mount last season's buck and it was $750. Granted, this is from a very good taxidermist but son said "no thanks" and we just did a Euro mount ourselves....

Morning all

Apparently our local Wendy’s was robbed at gun point last night. The perp fled and was last seen a few blocks from our house. A manhunt was actively underway by police with aerial coverage by a chopper. Momma Bear was very concerned about the whole situation so I slept on the couch by our main entry door with our dog and a CZ. Our dog is very good at alerting us to any commotion around the house (annoyingly so). I only got few hours of sleep. Last I heard the perp hasn’t been found.

I gave a friend of mine permission to go turkey hunting at my place and he said hunters were invading him. Nobody else has permission but that doesn't seem to matter. If I wasn't working, I would start mowing all the paths about daybreak.

Optics cut done on the Dan Wesson .45 Commander. I was without a .45 red dot gun and this is my most accurate one so it got the go ahead. Front sight is a place holder. Plan is to do an initial sight in, then install irons of appropriate height. I will be making a rear sight that installs into the back of the optic and replaces the plastic filler plate.

The only problem with the DPP's is they have the most extreme deck height, your front sight is going to have to be really tall.

Think I might leave the front sight as is, just for looks. This will never be a carry gun.

Nobody except me hunting since opening day, no shots heard and no cars at entrance points to the HNF.

Turkey hunting for me has changed over the years as birds just don't gobble like they used to so it's more of a find a spot, set out decoys, call a little and wait. Two years ago I called in some hunters, could not believe they thought the decoys were real birds.

Must be some serious drugs or withdrawal from them involved in the decision making to rob a Wendy's.

Risk versus reward seems a poor ratio.

If it’s not $300,000,000, I am staying on this side of the line.

That was my thought as well. There is no telling the level stupidity someone will stoop to when drugs are involved.

That's the Wendy's right off I65 isn't it? Easy escape back onto the interstate.

 

[MindfulMan]

Anymore, unless someone is seriously harmed, I wonder how hard the authorities search ?

Yes, but he fled on foot. Some people suspect that he had a get-away car in town.

Apparently he walked in, ordered food, then held a gun to the cashier’s head and said “empty the register”.

LPD doesn’t play around. It was a full on manhunt. They are still investigating but are out of leads as I understand it and asking the public to reveal any info they might have.

Dodged rain showers after hunting, was out back shooting the Sharps carbine with some 500 grain loads again.

Wonder how much he got. Can't imagine it would be much.

That said, I guess an easier target with less risk than a liquor store, etc.
