Kyker Bottoms is much more accessible, and probably much more popular for that reason.

I've not hunted it, but I live a few miles from it and have been in both ends of it, though only on the roads. On the south side you have to park at the boat ramp off 129 at foothills parkway and walk quite a ways up a steep gravel road. There's several homes in there you have to avoid as well. On the north side there's a small gravel parking lot off 6 mile road, and you have to walk up a poorly maintained 2 track. The terrain is fairly steep as well. I'm sure there's plenty of pigs in there, but you'll work for them. A friend bear hunts on private property adjacent to it, so they're there as well. There are park property signs periodically through it. The national park owns a easement several hundred yards wide on either side of the parkway.

I could blast it for you if you're not in a hurry. But acetone or any sort of paint stripper should work fine. Beware the fumes.

Welcome!

I was just gonna suggest kudzu... Bamboo is fine if you don't mind yard work and are willing to deal with containing it. The Cypress trees are the best low maintenance option. Some varieties get 15' tall, some get 50' tall.

:D That's the worst part. The bug only lasts a few days but the gas pain from the fear of an unintended release once you're back out in public lasts a good week.

I can concur with the "kill it with alcohol" method. I feel certain that's how I avoided the double purge on a trip to Mexico... 3-4 big shots of Don Julio every night. As for this latest stomach big incarnation, my oldest boy had the one-ended version for a couple days. Thankfully no one else got it. They've had schools closed here because of it.

My order from early last week hasn't shipped yet either.

You are wise beyond your years....

Put the pin in the freezer for 15 mins or so and heat the receiver with a heat gun.

I've sat it on my thigh or on the toilet paper dispenser. I'm a "pants around knees" guy in public restrooms so exposing the holster isn't really an issue.

Let me repeat myself....

My wife calls me a fuddy duddy all the time. I think lots of parents don't talk to their kids enough to have any clue what sort of slang they use. We fuss at our kids pretty regularly for poor pronunciation.

Only our government could come up with something so confusing. I've never understood why there is a thing called an SBR and why it's on the NFA list.

Nice. That's only a few miles from me and I didn't know it was there. I'll have to ride by sometime.

I'm curious what went wrong? If you'd rather not say, that's fine too.

All this nonsense over 5% ? You might want to reexamine who's taking things way too seriously.

I got glasses in the 5th grade. Got contacts a few years later. That's been a good 25 years ago. I take mine out every night and wear glasses when I'm being lazy around the house (like right now :) ). I'd love to get LASIK at some point but haven't been able to save up the money. I know a bunch of people who've had it done with good success. My best advice is to keep your lenses clean. When your eyes get tired or dry, take them out and give your eyes a rest.

Dood. We get it, you don't like Costa's techniques. You've made your point, even beaten it to the ground. Accept that your sophomoric whining isn't going to change anyone's mind and shut your pie hole about it. Pretty please? :)

Sweet! I'll have one eventually.

Media blaster if you have access to one. Otherwise hot soapy water and a toothbrush.

Yet again, why is it so damn complicated? Guys aren't sure what license they need to hunt a frickin' doe! Sheesh.

So if I did the math right, that's about 85 pellets per shell.  I'm no expert, but that sounds plenty significant to me. 

A Christmas Story.  I have a sneaking suspicion I might find "The Ref" in my stocking, but being that's not a movie for kids, I doubt I'll have time to watch soon after Christmas.  I hope to see the new Hobbit movie in the theater as well.  Otherwise, it's the typical Bond flicks and/or a football game. 

Cool.  How much shot is in there?
