…picked up trophies from last year's African hunt. The impala pedestal mount was completely destroyed…will post pictures tomorrow. Very disappointing…I'ver seen better packing from 8 year olds.
Interestingly enough, I spent some time (not nearly enough time, I might add) on my .22 "challenge" course with the Clark Ruger 10-22. Man, what a different between bench shooting and field shooting -- exactly why I set up the challenge course! I'm pretty good at 80 yards and in, but not so much at the longer distances. I was holding over, but I think I can do a lot better if I run the numbers on Mini-Mags and then dial the scope up…at least, that's what I'm telling myself. .22s aren't laser beams. It's supposed to be nice tomorrow, and I may sneak out and run the long stages again. Yes, I know I said I'd be practicing cowboy, but there's something hypnotic about a hard training stage. Shooting off sticks is definitely a weak spot for me, something I haven't practiced until recently.
Here's a plug for a great sponsor -- Streamlight has added a "AA" battery version of their Siege lantern. I mention it because Streamlight Sieges are a mainstay here at the off-grid SHBII. Living off-grid, you get used to going to a battery powered lantern instead of that switch on the wall…especially after a run of cloudy days. In the older Secret Hidden Bunker, where the power went out for hours at a time, the Sieges got a lot of work.
Tomorrow on the podcast I want to talk a little about the New York grand jury decision…a very different situation than the grand jury decision in Ferguson.
Nite nite for now...

I'd welcome your comments on the facts in including whether it was a well done carotid hold or a poorly done carotid hold or a choke hold. I liked Gabe Suarez on using a submission hold in lieu of just shooting somebody but I have no idea whether that's what happened in Garner. At ESR who is a martial artist and well informed with useful opinions otherwise I notice all the commentators give their conclusions and then tell us the facts support each individual's conclusion whatever that conclusion might be but don't show or cite any disputed facts despite disputed conclusions.
Is the smaller size of the Siege worth the reduction in run time and brightness in using AA vs D cell batteries?
Quality taxidermists are hard to find. I have dealt with Jonas Brothers and never been disappointed. Keep in mind for next hunt...
