I 've always called it my bear gun when someone asks me why i call it that its too small to shoot a bear with i say " you don't have to outrun the bear you just have to outrun your whoever is with you". That's why the experts say you never go in the woods by yourself lol Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 30, 2023 Members Report Posted January 30, 2023 Husband's car won't start, so he calls the wife and asks her to pick him up in the truck. "That' wont' start either," the wife tells him. "What? Why won't it start?" "It's got water in the carburetor," she replies. "Honey, you know NOTHING about engines. How do you know that's why it won't start?" "Because our son decided to try to drive today. Your truck's in the swimming pool!"

Members Sheilajeanne Posted May 3, 2023 Members Report Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Best joke I've come across in quite some time! A punter was at the horse races playing the ponies. He noticed a Priest step out onto the track and blessed the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the 4th race. Lo and behold, that horse - a very long shot - won the race. Next race, as the horses lined up, the Priest stepped onto the track. Sure enough, he blessed one of the horses. The punter made a beeline for a betting window and placed a small bet on the horse. Again, even though it was another long shot, the horse won the race. He collected his winnings, and anxiously waited to see which horse the Priest would bless next. He bet big on it, and it won. As the races continued the Priest kept blessing long shots, and each one ended up winning. The punter was elated. He made a quick dash to the ATM, withdrew all his savings, and awaited for the Priest's blessing that would tell him which horse to bet on. True to his pattern, the Priest stepped onto the track for the last race and blessed the forehead of an old nag that was the longest shot of the day. This time the priest blessed the eyes, ears, and hooves of the old nag. The punter knew he had a winner and bet every cent he owned on the old nag. He watched dumbfounded as the old nag came in last. In a state of shock, he went to the track area where the Priest was. Confronting Him, he demanded, 'Father! What happened? All day long you blessed horses and they all won. Then in the last race, the horse blessed lost by a mile. Now, thanks to you I've lost every cent of my savings!'. The Priest nodded, wisely and with sympathy. 'Son,' he said, 'that's the problem with you Protestants. You can't tell the difference between a simple blessing and Last Rites.' Edited May 3, 2023 by Sheilajeanne

CFM tsunkasapa Posted May 5, 2023 CFM Report Posted May 5, 2023 Not really. While skunks CAN cause a stink (pun not intended), for the most part they do not. As a kid I had 6 baby skunks that lived in the wood shed, ate with our cats , and let us pet and hold them. They stayed around the farm for several years. Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Members Sheilajeanne Posted May 5, 2023 Members Report Posted May 5, 2023 So, how DO you catch and skin a skunk without causing the fur to stink? Won't a skunk let go its scent glands if it's caught in a trap?
Members Handstitched Posted May 6, 2023 Members Report Posted May 6, 2023 I found this. Quite baffling , and damn funny too. https://au.news.yahoo.com/jersey-baffled-mountain-cooked-pasta-184611713.html "Another user added: “Lead suspect is a guy named Al Dente,” another commented. That totally cracked me up . I guess someone would have to pasta shell out' a lot of money to clean it up. But I think this story is rigged- atoni . Obviously the offender is no ' Angel ' hair pasta and a bit of a ' noodle head ' Perhaps the offender should ' Man icotti up . All we need now is 1/2 ton of pasta sauce, 1/4 ton of garlic bread and a few cases of red wine Anyone from New Jersey on here ?? Fill us in ??

Won't a skunk let go its scent glands if it's caught in a trap? i was strong armed once by a skunk. One night when we were hunting, we were all in my lodge ( native American teepee) drinkin beer having a great time cooking pork chops. I had my cooler setting near the door with the package of chops setting out on top. Well this big old skunk smells them i guess and decides he wants a pork chop too and comes waddling right in and grabs one sets down on his butt and starts to munching away right in the middle of the doorway. Guess what four big bad elk hunters do when that happens? They stand wide eyed and wondering what the hell to do next lol. Cant get out, cant yell, cant hit it or your whole tent and you and all your gear will be stinky forever. We just stood there watching him eat pretty soon when he got good and ready I swear he smiled flipped us off and then moseyed on off with the rest of his chop. A person doesn't really know what the most respected animal in the woods are until your face to face with a skunk man they have the power IMO. They are really rude critters and don't care if you like them or want them to leave and there isn't shit you can do about it lol. The next night he came in again while i was sleeping. Third night we went skunk hunting lol. That's the tale of two skunks camp.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted May 6, 2023 Members Report Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Oh, that's funny! Chuck, reminds me of this photo: Most of my skunk encounters have involved skunks and dogs that didn't know any better... I can report the Skunk Remedy (hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and a little dish soap) works REALLY well...and that some dogs just DO NOT LEARN! The one house we were renting, we had a backyard neighbour with a skunk nest under the porch. The neighbour had decided to just let them be. Twice while we were living there, one of the young ones fell into our window well. Our dog alerted us to it, and fortunately we noticed before anything bad happened to her! (I'm sure the skunk was reluctant to spray when it was in a confined space, too.) We tried (very carefully) putting a 2x4 down into the window well, but the youngster couldn't get a good grip on it. Then, we thought of an old piece of carpet we had somewhere, and didn't want anymore. That did the trick, though the skunk did spray just a tiny bit while I was putting the carpet into the well. Fortunately, the smell didn't last, as it wasn't a full blast! Edited May 6, 2023 by Sheilajeanne

They give you a glance every once in a while like "What?" second night about 3 in the morning i hear him rooting around in my lodge, I hit my flashlight and it blinded him so he's runnin around looking for the way out which isnt easy in a round tent with a small opening and two layers of canvas lol. I'm peeking out from under my fart sack yelling and carrying on trying to get him out without getting sprayed, covering my head up every time he made a lap around my bag. My friend hears the commotion in his tent and starts to come over so there i am yelling at him now not to come in the skunks back. I hear silence then " well what the he** you want me to do about that? Then this muffled type laughing, i could hear him out there trying to stifle himself to no avail. All the while this skunk is roaming around and about ten minutes later he finally finds the door. Man did i get the shit in the morning, every skunk joke you could imagine, and most of them stunk lol..
