I saw a snowboard last week that was an MGD sign/logo motif. Good looking
board but I didn't have a camera in my pocket. What are they doing in the
creek besides tearing things up? I have a new 338-300 Ultra Mag that would
reach that far. It puts out a 250 grain bullet at almost 3000 fps. I'm
anxious to play with that one. I have a 375 H&H for sale if you want to
torment the neighbors big time. It hurts on both ends though. /jmac

"Pulled the trigger" and "cold, dead hands"? Sounds like my kind of people!
And for those who wonder why I'm so busy posting today, I'm sitting on the
back deck with my laptop, drinking an MGD about every 30 minutes, or less,
binoculars at the ready, overseeing the work being done down by the creek
after a nearly week-long "strike." I still ain't pleased, and we've had a
couple of instances of raised voices and colorful language, but there's been
no gunfire. Not yet, anyway. Of course, the day ain't over. Since I may
soon be too drunk to stagger down the hill, I'm sitting here with my AR15
and a 30-round clip, just in case.
Just kidding, folks! It's probably illegal to kill an illegal, and anyway,
there ain't no bounty. At least not yet. But I think the rednecks are in
season.
