Whats a Rasher? ??? ::)

Eddie...unless it means something different now a days...when I was a kid ...my Uncle called a Rasher ...a plate full of broiled Bacon...but I have been known to be wrong!!
As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another.Why do you think we invented politics and religion.

Here are some pics of Diego with a short bow made by Ken75.. He loves the bow and shots it well... W had a great time, but I did choke on the first evening and did not see them again... George, thats not the same sounder.. The one I shoot at was bigger about 30 animals and there were no black ones.. Only white and black spotted and a few brown ones..

You have more pigs than you thought, I think.. Great time.. Thank you for trying hard to put us over pigs.

Sadly, there aren't very many wild hogs with good enough belly for bacon.  I've killed 2 I think so far that were worthy of bacon, but I haven't mastered making bacon at all.  Both times I've tried I ended up with salt pork, and one of those wasn't very salty. :(

Cipriano, those pictures of Diego are great.  He sure does love that bow.  He was willing to shoot anything and I think tried just about everything we brought.  Had quite a few bows on the picnic table for awhile.  Great memories for sure.  Hmm, I hope you're right about having more than 1 sounder.  It's possible.  I wish I'd grabbed the gray stand trail cam pics before I left, we would have known for sure then.

We'll do it again.  Need a couple more folk so we have all the feeders covered.  Need to find the leak in the roof of my blind too. ???  My next time out there will likely be the weekend after Fathers Day.

Nope, I'm wrong about that.  My next trip looks like June 10-12, that's the date I was shooting to try and get some local bowyers/knappers there.

I don't know why Cipriano but that shirt your boy is wearing makes me think of Dr. Pepper for some odd reason ;D. Looks like he love his bow..

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Well, actually. I was reffering to Dublin. From what I understand, that's where Dr.Pepper made it's debout and that place is still up and running - OLD ;D.
