Used Cars

[fiver]

snipe hunting requires too much equipment in most places.

I don't know about eating a nauga, knowing the chine they would get it tasting like soybean paste and call it good.
I don't know why you'd take something that is edible and then screw with it until it ain't then charge double for it.
I can't even say 'but, it's the American way' here.

No open season on naugas in KS, and I think that pvcs are extinct in the wild, too.

I'll bet that, if you cook it slow, nauga will taste like chicken.

And No Used Cars unless you crawl under the dash and look for rust, plus pull the carpets up and
see what is under there - rust or silt is very bad.

But naugahyde seats are OK, as long as they were farm grown.

Anybody know if the 7mm Asperly Aimless has enough knockdown power for a full sized
bull nauga, for a shoulder shot? Of course, I would stay within book load limits, no hotrodding it.

As I recall either Buckshot or Bret were the authority on Asperly Aimless ballistics, perhaps Bret can weigh in.

 

[fiver]

I think some of it started when someone found the barrel holding up the edge of a bench somewhere.

now that I think of it, if that 7mm is the one with the straightened 1-R rifling and reverse tapered barrel you might be able to pull off the much vaunted cinco-plex load, where you drop the bullet and 1gr of Dacron down the barrel on top of about 350grs of 20mm cannon powder as the final pusher.

I'm told that Nauga's are distant relatives of the Coypu.

 

[Pistolero]

OK, fiver, you win. I give.

Buckshot was the man on the Asperly. My expertise was with the Halfbright, Fullbright and Fluglemayer rounds.

I recall many years back reading an article in "Hairy Chested Man Monthly" about a fellow who made a practice of taking Nauga with a home made Swiss Army Knife. IIRC, he was from Desmoines and was a Coast Guard veteran, so technically the knife would have been an Iowa Coast Guard knife, but that just doesn't roll off the tongue, or make any sense, so he stuck with Swiss Army. Any way, as the story went, he originally had lept upon the unsuspecting Naugas from a tree stand and wrestled the Nauga into submission before delivering a stab to the heart. In later years he developed a method of concealing himself under ground in a pit and disemboweling the Nauga as they walked over him. Rather a gruesome practice IMO. He met his end when he tried running a Nauga down. While we all know Nauga are not a particularly fast animal, we also know that all of our mothers told us not to run with scissors, knives, etc. He stands as an object lesson in the veracity of that advice!

Did you guys know that a researcher at Texas worked on cross breeding Nauga and wild boars?
He wants a way to make a better football so he developed Haugahyde. His goal was to replicate the appearance and texture of the skin often found on 60 FL women.

 

[Pistolero]

I believe I'd choose a lockblade knife for fighting Naugas, always worry about my Iowa Coast Guard knife folding up on me, my Swiss Army knife, too.

. And that post of Brad's put me of mind of Granny Clampett
discussing her lye soap recipe with Miss Jane. Miss Jane worried that it would be harsh on her skin, Granny says, "Heck,
no, I've been using it my whole life and feel my skin." After, touching Granny's cheek, Miss Jane exclaimed, "Why, Granny,
your face feels just like old leather!" with a horrified look on her face, and Granny just beams, and says "Yeah, ain't in NICE!?"

perspective... always perspective.

Can you imagine how messy that was to lay in a pit and disembowel the nauga as it walked over the pit? I always preferred to do it with the beast laying on it's side. GW

Speaking of Nauga bowel. We once kept, cleaned, and scraped the ingesting from a nauga. Used it to make some sausage. It was horrible, damn near tasted like plastic. I don't suggest using it as a sausage casing.

On the other hand, the meat of a small Nauga can be good. I find it tastes a lot like all the other meats that taste like chicken, including chicken!

 

[Pistolero]

Yeah, but you have to capture the young ones and feed them corn for a couple weeks to get rid
of the plasticy taste.

Yup, now you know how hot dog franks are made.

 

[John]

It isn't bad as a casing if you get the older large casings. You can dye those red and use it for Boloney. It might be just as tasty to eat the casing unless you are from Oklahoma where you can barbeque it. Around here all the Naugas got blue tongue and it turned their teeth blue. Now everybody wants blue-tooth and you can't even find a carcass.

 

[Pistolero]

Well if they got Bluetooth, can you track them with your phone?

 

[fiver]

maybe that's why I never see them, my phone don't got blue-tooth.

 

[Rick]

That must be it, them critters are completely invisible to both me and my flip phone.

 

[Ian]

My flip-phone has a case made of Nauga skin, but no blue tooth. My old flip-phone had a saber-tooth embellishment on the flap.

 

[Brad]

Did you guys know blue tooth was invented south of the Mason Dixon line? Had it been developed in the north it would be called blue teeth.
