Title: Bush hunting HAWAIIAN pigs (pics)
Post by: NOMADIC PIRATE on July 18, 2008, 04:01:13 am: When it's extremely dry like it has being the last couplle of months is really conducive to hunt by using game trails and listen to the pigs make noise in the thick bush, than try follow them and get a shot when they come over to an area a bit more open.

That's how I spent my afternoon, It was really fun, I got busted several times because of the unforgiving swirlying winds,...but than I got lucky ;D

Post by: NOMADIC PIRATE on July 18, 2008, 03:25:26 pm: I'm shooting a 63", 75# bamboo backed IPE, and a snuffer ( gotta love those heads !!!) as I hit her you could see the blood just exploding out the entrance hole, in a few seconds I heard the deth moan, (actually this one was more like an half squeel, but loud), she was less than 30 yards into the thick stuff, blood trail was a highway

I think I was in the right place one time in Nanakuli but a little to early. Had a hog come thru about 2A.M. in the morning and flatten our tent. I was still learnin about hogs back then.

That would freeze the balls off of a brass monkey! :o

Pat, you know the origin of that saying? i believe it has do do with cannon balls. to keep them from rolling around on the ships deck they would stack them like a pyramid. but when the ship rocked the bottom fell out and they rolled anyway. Then they made a dimpled holder like you see for pool balls in the original box out of iron, but found that it would rust to the balls and lock the bottom row in place never to be used again. Then they next tried brass, since it does not corrode the same as the balls. It worked and they no longer rusted together or rolled around, but when it got really cold the brass would contract, popping up and out "off" the cannon balls, which were now rolling on the ship deck once again. Hence the term .

so that is how you freeze the balls off a brass monkey. i always thought it had something to do with a statue and vulgarity ;D
