Howdy, Im the Fatweed. Ill explain the name later, but for short its what my little girl says i look like in camo.... hehehe Im 55, got kids from 10 to 30...five of em... some hunt,,some dont... anyway... ive been huntin since i could walk... and sometimes now it seems i can just barely walk..specially after tryin to walk all day in mud.... hehehe. I hunt everything there is to hunt around here... Kansas Now. Ive lived in Colorado, (Elk, Deer) and Nevada, (Geese, Ducks), Yeah believe it or not if ya can find water in the desert, theres some waterfowl huntin...hehehe
I grew up in Kansas, and am back now, been here three years...for shootin..??? wellllllll Since I lost my best huntin partner last spring (Dad), ive got his old Model 12... fine gun... birdseye maple... and had a bazillion shells shot thru it..... still works too.... ya couldnt haul off in a freight train all the birds that gun has shot... most offem legal too....hehehe, Dad usta say...just lay that gun on the hood...and it will get birds.....hehehe. Its basically gonna be retired tho.... ill use it dove huntin and shoot a few just for old times sake and dad.....otherwise... ill just keep the rust off it.... For the serious stuff, ive got a browning BPS 3.5 camo 12.... I can hit better than my kid with it...hehehe hes a little slightly faster with his Benelli 3.5 auto... but he only puts more steel in the air,,,, I think my steel is a little better placed maybe..??? LOL...im sure ill hear about that from him...hehehe. Maybe id like one of them benellis..??? dunno.... just cant picture John Wayne a shootin with an italian gun... heheh Noooooo,,,I know they make fine guns... its just dunno.... guess i like tradition...ya know..??? Funny,,,, i think ya get that way when ur older.... heheh its either that...??? or stubborn..???? As for huntin here in kansas...?? Yeah it can be good... its not like the old days tho... sure,,it seems there is more game in some ways..??? but not game ya can shoot at... Used to be in the old days... ya found game,,, asked if ya could hunt and that was it....nope not anymore.....too many people have ruined a good thing...anymore ya almost either gotta marry into good huntin..... or be able to afford to buy it..???? or go the public hunting route.... Nothing is wrong with any of them mind you,,,, its just not as easy as it used to be.... Nope...hehehe i dont have alotta money.... so its the old fashioned way....that i hafta earn the right to hunt some places..... and No,,,im not much willin to share those places with just anyone... I will share,,, but like i had too....ya gotta earn it... Get my drift??? So...for some ya novices out here... one place to kinda be leary of is the net huntin... last year...i was talkin it up on the net,,,,,next thing ya knew i was blown outta my spot.... so ive learned to keep my mouth shut.... hehehe... wrong.... LOL...ill probably blow it all again... LOL... or if ya hear me a braggin up my honey hole here... hehehee uhhhhhhh think twice... i might be lyin to ya.... hehehe...well unless i know yah.... hehehe... anyway....im just pullin ur chain a little....hope ya dont mind.... *S*..Keep it safe boys and girls...and play nice.... *S*
P.S. about forgot the huntin rig... LOL.. got an old 2x4 73 chevy pickup... all rusted out... call it uncle woody..she smokes some, uses some oil,,,and dont get very good gas mileage, but we aint in no hurry usually LOL... but it holds three of us....Im buildin a new engine for her when i get the shed done... got an engine all picked out to rebuild too, my dads old chevy my brother has,,said i could have it since he got dads newer old buick...LOL
Momma wont let us use her blazer...or the jeep.... long story.... And my sons only gotta newer s-10.... cant haul nuthin in that..either..??? so we use uncle woody.. its gotta rack on it..can either put the boat on top...or the canoe... holds lotta decoys...and dont mind a runnin it thru the brush either... it just polishes the rust....hehehe...if we get it stuck.... which, we havent... (I learned how..and where to drive alonggggggggg time ago.... LOL) if stuck then can push pull or drag it out with about anything.. dozer,,,tractor... whatever ya got... LOL.. dunno... heheh guess i could afford maybe a new big 4x4 diesel rig... even had one awhile back... but theres just sumpin about that old pickup,,,and the musty damp wet smell of them seats and interior that just says and smells huntin..... hehehe so ill stick with uncle woody.....
