I like tarantulas...............so many "drumsticks". :wink:
I collect springblades but I carry my "thumbers."

A hole in the sand with these little tips around it seems almost like the "Far Side".

Been 30+ years since I did it, They are longer then wide so you shoot head on [or tail on] and let the shot pattern be a little oval shaped. If I'm ever "in country" again I might try again, if I could still do it pics would be a sure thing! [I assume there was nothing special about the choke on that [long gone] 12 ga. I had in those days. Most attempts left "mush" "chunks"
or totally missing arachnid, but now and then you got it right and damn I wish I had a camera in those days.

Greetings, Mr. Vagrant-

I was on safari late one summer's eve in Clearlake, Fornicalia, toting my AR-15, and my pal had his 12 gauge. After the straight JD statrted to kick in, we came upon a lilttle clearing where some porcelain bowl mogul had stashed dozens of toilets. Shooting a toilet by moonlight point blank with a .223 is something all serious hunters should experience. Alas, no trophies were taken, as we had to hunker down to avoid the Sheriff's Dept., the booming of the shotgun and the endless rapid cracking of the AR-15 rolled down the slope, across the lake and caused a stir with the sleeping resorters. Peering down the grade, we could make out a flotilla of flashing blue lights. But, being country boys, those deputies were in no way eager to storm the hill. Shortly before dawn, we slithered up to my truck and slunk away.

Later, on the freeway back to the Bay Area, we got a convincingly flat tire. Whilst fighting a losing battle with the jack handle lug wrench with the pre-rounded off inner socket, I glanced over to notice some shiny CHP boots standing next to my open can of Colt 45. Somewhere up about 6ft.6", was the non-smiling, mirrored sunglassed cop head. "Got yourself a flat tire, 'eh?", says he. I had several snappy answers for him, but went with "Yessir, your honor." That got a smirk from him. He strolls up to the open door cab to see my passed out pal, 12 gauge, and AR-15 on the seat, goes to his cruiser, comes back with a 4 way lug wrench for me to use, and asks me if we'd done any night hunting lately. Before I could reply, he laughed out loud, told me not to leave any empty cans on the shoulder, and drove away. Whew...

AS ever,

Your ol' pal,

Wally J. Corpse

O.K
Let me rephrase it without felony convictions or fatal trauma.
[I've been a "guest of the city/state" until Mr. Bailbondsman arrived, and the traumas did not get me certified doa].
