John over at Arrrrgh! has a nice post on the Ammo Buy-cott. As mentioned earlier, I bought a gun last week and held off until the first day of the "week" to purchase a buttload of ammo from ammoman.com.

When I link to these guys, I can never remember how many R's are in Arrrrrrrrrgh. I don't know if that is salient or not. The post on Ammo Week somewhat wanders off topic, which I have no problem with because I'm going to do so shortly. He plainly posts a statement to goblins, mutants, and any other trash that resulted from Ted Kennedy pissing in the gene pool. What really threw me, is that his wife is good with a trench gun. A .44 gets a little testy for me sometimes, but his wife seems to do fine with large firepower. BTW, don't screw with their house.

As a segueway, I have a friend whose wife shoots better than me. She can take down a rabbit (obliterate might be a better word) with a 7mm at 250 yards. I need to bench a 30.06 to get a relatively good shot. I told him today that his wife makes me look like a wuss.

When I did speak to him, he mentioned he had a couple of Oryx depradation hunt licenses and didn't have anyone to go with. I have absolutely no experience hunting anything except fowl. Depradation hunts consist of shooting at herds from the road, from what I understand (NOTE I MAY BE WRONG). Bipods are allowed and all the rest. It is probably not as sporting as I would like it to be, but it may be ideal for my first big game hunt.
