Raider Nation Fisher

I love to squirrel hunt.

ROFLMAO!!!

That bus brings back memories from high school. More so when we would sneak into the bus lot at night. We had many good night's on those short buses.

Yeah it is.

Well 3 gallons of gasoline, plus 8 gallons of diesel fuel, plus a 6 ft pile of soggy leaves equals a 20 foot tall mushroom cloud. When it is first ignited. Lessons learned on my winter vacation. :D Update: it's been burning for 2 hours now.....

Everyone else is dining on fried turkey and traditional foods. However, I will be drinking Mickeys, eating crackers and cheese, and watching football. Enjoy the holidays, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

So for those of us with a more complex, or less classy, palate. (Depending on whom you ask) I am starting this thread in honor of you. Personally I am a huge fan of Brandy and Cognac. My favorites being in the XO lineage, and when money allows a Napoleon or Louis XIII. However, I will not turn my nose up at mixing a decent vsop into a terrific drink. But Raider, those are pricey and this thread says swill in the title... Fear not my children! For Raider ain't a Raider for no good reason. I sometimes enjoy slumming it so to speak. In which case MD 20/20, and Wild Irish Rose are one of my drinks of choice. The fruity taste and wonderful bouquet make these a perfect drink for those "balling on a budget" or those with a less refined palate. I have had many glorious nights of mischief and fun, whilest having a bottle of MD clutched tightly in my hand. Wrapped in its requisite brown bag with a gas guage cut in the side. I am also quite the enthusiast of Vodka. Russian made preferably. Not that foul tasting stuff the French manufacture. If you want decent potato water get it from a Nordic country, an eastern bloc country or from the source, Mother Russia. The French know as much about making vodka as the Russians do about making Champagne. Please share or favorite Booze and/or swill below....

If I have many more it's going to end up being one. Either that or a church van like my old wrestling coach with 7 kids used to drive.

I know. That's why I'm trying to make the most of the little bit of free time I get. That's also why I'm looking at other possible jobs too.

Four children don't fit real well in a f150. So with much sadness Big Blue got traded in Saturday. After weeks upon weeks of searching and doing our research we got a new ride! I still miss the hell out of my truck. However, it was time. This is our 2013 Expedition XLT. US made at The KTP Ford plant. She has 34,000 miles. Leather interior, and most importantly 3 rows. We are putting the DVD player screens in the front head rest for the kids.

So after getting laid off from my last job last week I am taking a break. We have calls at the hall so it isn't a lack of work. I'm just burned out on electric work currently. Its been putting me in a horrible mood as well. So I intend to relax until after thanksgiving. After which I will be going back on 7 12s for the next 4 months. Yayou me. Anyway, while sitting out front watching our dogs play. We are currently residing on 9 acres of hardwoods with a 2 acre double fenced front yard. I can't help but laugh at these two dogs. The mastiff runs the beagle over and flips him all over the place. To which the beagle grabs him by the tail or back of the leg where the mastiff can't get him. All the while rolling through three massive piles of leaves. It is completely cracking me up. The only thing funnier to me is watching the two sleep. The beagle curls up on top of the mastiff. It is hilarious. Probably the only thing I enjoy more is watching our four boys run around out here. It calms me and relaxes me and makes me smile. I am absolutely in love with being out of the city. Our children can actually play without having to worry about the wanna be gangsters, and what have you bopping around. I can shoot my guns off the back porch if I so feel inclined too. I can hunt all night and day. Our neighbor a mile down has also given me permission to fish his 4 acre pond. Life is sweet right now. I'm getting my chi realigned and finding my zen again.

I see what you did there.

Don't rub it in. My southern butt ain't used to this frigid arctic weather.

My little brother is getting married today. It is 30 degrees outside. My outer wear as of now consists of insulated hunting clothes, non insulated hunting clothes, summer time casual clothes, gym attire, work clothes (insulated and non), riding gear, and frigid Yankee weather riding gear. So what is my dear mothers suggestion for me to wear to the wedding? A pair of slacks, dress shoes, and a black leather "Marlon brando" style biker jacket. Cause that's gonna look classy as hell right there. I tell you what. Perhaps, I should rock out the one that spells out FTW on the back in 8in letters. I mean honestly, even the RUBs down here don't dress like that. I believe it is gonna be insulated hunting attire and to hell with the consequences.

Ex sister in law. Phrase it right

Don't be a kill joy. Some of us rather enjoy his musings. Me and Nessy were discussing it the other day.

Does Brandy and Cognac count? If not, then the last bourbon I drank was last weekend. It was some delicious Rebel Yell.

By chance are any of your paranormal friends the children of Lilith and Samael? Might wanna try asking them.

Long as the ain't speaking in Latin or Assyrian, You should be fine. Now I would be interested if they were leaving three scratches on you. That's another bad sign.

Prayers sent homie.

That wasn't Big foot that was me.

Your Mama Jokes!?!? Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhh I wanna play! Your mama got one eye and a peg leg. Talking bout she wanna work at IHOP!! Your Mama so dirty. She gotta sneak up on bath water!!! Your Mama so old. When God said let there be light. She flipped the switch! Your mama so old Moses signed her year book! :D :D

That definitely makes sense. I have never thought about it that way before. That is an extremely logical way of looking at the problem. I can definitely understand why you recommend using a trapper as opposed to hunting them. Everything I have read and researched on them has talked about how intelligent, and adaptable they are. Which falls right in line with what you are saying. Thank you for the response. Also I would be more than interested in hearing your knowledge over coyotes. I am trying to learn as much about them as I can currently.

Sounds like I'm asking the right man for his opinion then.

Im not trying to argue. I apologize if it came across that way. I'm just stating my opinion. I'm quite interested in hearing/reading what your method entails. Please, share it with me.
