Where are you from?

I think it would be a great thing if you guys would add your location below your avatar. If we knew what part of the country you are in, it helps provide a little more info to your posts. It also might help to have members connect with each other.

Crabo, look at mine. Just don't confuse it with Reno, which is 4 miles north, and so far thwarted in its creeping.

[crabo]

Yeah, I know, I read the thread on best avatar and wanted to put something up. Dirty Harry was the reason I got my first 44 mag and never looked back.

After I put it up, I have never been happy with it, so here's my .22

Anyone even know or care where Chowchilla is?
Well...I know another member but c'mon now. When I was in the service I had a girlfriend from Pennsylvania who thought all Californian's lived on the beach, surfed, drove a VW bus and had palm trees in their yards...I didn't tell her the truth (I am not dumb). The fact is we are probably more hillbilly here than in Appalachia. It get's downright embarrassing sometimes.

[copdills]

Great Idea:coffee:

[NoDakJak]

Suo Gan Darn well I know wher Chowchilla is. During the early to mid sixties my main hunting area was the Avenal Hills. When the routed Interstate Five through the area they ruined the greatest jack rabbit area in the world. I don't know what the area is like now but you should live near some excellent wild boar hunting. They were just starting to move into the area when I left in 1967 and I never did manage to get one.

Now I'm curious to know how many of the 7,000 or so members are from each state and country ! I'm just a country boy in the great Commonwealth of Virginia and I'm betting that the more rural you are, the more likely to be a caster.

Neil, I guess that makes three of us on the board now. They used to herd the Jacks, thousands of them, and shoot them, drown them, or sick the dogs on them. Today there are not many left, but there is still no limit. I am not sure many miss them, in lean times they would eat the wood off your house. The wild boars have all been killed off by state trappers in the area. I talked to one that said he shot over 400 in one day from helicopter. In the mountains there are a lot of critters to hunt, and a lot of public land to do it on...and as far a pretty, well it's as pretty as any place I have ever seen.

Stay warm in North Dakota, it's about a third over now I'd say. C'mon back when your'e of a mind to. SG

I'm a newcomer from southern Ky. just off I75 north of London and just now got set up to post. Lurked around here for a long time, though, learning. Lots of good information available from very knowledgeable people. Thanks for the info. - it has enhanced my casting ability. Mostly shoot rifles and handguns - .45 Colts, .45 ACPs, .30-06 & .223 (bolt and semiautomatic, plus Contender). Reload for all. Shoot no factory stuff except what I carry concealed. Cast for everything except the .223. 'Tuck

[9.3X62AL]

Welcome aboard, Art!

I've had the town and state in my avatar section for a while. Ridgecrest is at the southeastern extreme of the good part of California. Navy vets are likely familiar with the area if they've been stationed at or heard about "China Lake". Although less than 3 hours north of Los Angeles, it is as different a place from LA as 150 miles could make it. It is gun country--most people carry, and in a town of 25K with another 15K in the surrounding area--there hadn't been a homicide here for 10 years until July '07--and that was a social engineering project, in any event. I can't help thinking that Heinlein's ditty--"An armed society is a polite society"--helps account for that.

[onceabull]

Couldn't pass 9.3x62 Al's comment about "a social engineering project" without remembering Jeff Cooper's recommendation(s) for "serious social interaction"loads" if you really have to carry a 38 Sp."( Made todays" +plus+ " loads look like something for Jr.high kids) ;) Onceabull

[Big Boomer]

9.3X62AL: Thanks for the welcome. I'm unfamiliar with the 9.3X62 (I'm unfamiliar with a LOT when it comes to arms), and I take it that it is a favorite of yours. I've read about it being a thumper on big game. What does the 9.3 come out to, size wise, in thousands? 'Tuck

JonFrapper maps are worthless. Too much overlap, and the "bubbles" usually don't point to the right place anyway.

9.3X62AL,
I stayed in Ridgecrest about 7 yrs ago for about 1 1/2 months. Was working in a power house in the plant in Trona. Wind would blow sand in my car every day with the windows rolled up. I was never so glad to get back home!!! We have trees, grass, shade. I am wondering though, just what do deer eat out there, rocks? The people seemed nice but you dont really get to know anybody if you are working 14 hrs a day. Jetwrench

I thought everyone knew where Chowchilla was a while back...something about a school bus, kidnapping...? I was in jr high then, but that name I haven't forgotten.
