Two interesting pics from 12/2-12/3 hunting trip
I mentioned that I was invited to go on a hunting trip with several other vets in Crowell, Texas, (Population 900+) a few weeks ago. So, I arrived on a Friday Afternoon (12/2) and we were suppose to meet at the town's bank. This is the only bank in the town and what do I see for the first time?
I had to take a second look at the sign. No, I didn't go in the bank. I called the event sponsor and met him at the cabin. Couldn't believe it...This is a town known for hunting after all.
Later that day, I shot my first deer with a borrowed 25 WSSM rifle (approx 150 yds). My guide approved the shot and after we walked up to the deer, he said the antlers were a lot bigger through his binos! Really! Anyway, I got to clean my first deer and take some of the meat home. It is still in the freezer as of now. Anyone want to come over for some bar-b-q?

Good thing Article 4413 (29ee) was repealed and that isn't what I'm licensed under, or else I couldn't go in that bank either..because the sign says people licensed under that aren't supposed to ... My bank has a simple no Beretta 92s/Taurus PT92s allowed picture sign which is peeling off the window from old age, so I leave the Taurus in the car or at home and carry the Glock26 or XD45 to the bank.

We had to take a bite of the heart for the first deer with a bow. Something about having the spirit of the deer combine with yours.AndyC wrote:Did you eat a slice of raw liver from it, seeing that it was your first deer?

There's a technical term for that. It's called "ground shrinkage". The closer the horns get to the ground, the more they shrink!v-rog wrote:he said the antlers were a lot bigger through his binos! Really!

The one Police man was called to the local pharmacy after a "F" bomb slipped out of my mouth. Almost recieved a citation for disorderly conduct(I think thats what he said).
That particular officer was a real stickler. Once he figured out what vehicles we drove it was almost a everytime we were there we got pulled over type of deal.

Wow, on the sign! I have a lease in Paducah, drive through Crowell on every trip, twice!
I guess I'll keep away from the bank...

Please forgive my not using the 100% flame-proof language here, but no, that's not the currently "enforceable" signage that would prevent CHL carry. I usually look for the "subchapter H" clause to clue me in to the current signage that gives "official" notice that CHL carry is forbidden.APynckel wrote:That's.... ugh..... NOT a legal 30.06?
