Lyehopper's Roundup....

[skiracer]

Seems to me like the deer population is up this year around here too. You really need to drive carefully around here at night and especially when the rutt begins and they start to move even more at night.... I shot eight two seasons back (4 bucks and 4 does) and I know about twenty more were killed on my land that year. This year I have given permission to a few guys to harvest all they want. I'll wait till muzzle loader season to start killing them myself. Hard to pass it off as an arrow but I do have a nice 25-06 muzzle loader that I like to use....SsSsSsSssss!

The same thing happened to a friend of mine while driving early in the morning to work just before daylight. A 6 pointer stuck his head through the driver side window and it was about 100 yards before he stopped. The deer was still alive and kicking and and he didn't get a scratch. The police came and had to shoot the deer to get him out of the window.

Lye
I want to come down there sometime and see your piece of property and maybe stick on while I'm there.

I can put you on a stand tomorrow. You've got my number dude, just call ahead of time. BTW archery season came in Saturday and it's legal to use a crossbow this year if you want too.

Ski,
I know they're lots bigger than the one's in western Pa. My daughter hit a 210 pounder with her car , $4500 damage last year. They salvaged 75 pounds of meat from it. So many it's getting dangerous to drive at night. Right down the road from me one went through the windshield of a pickup and killed the driver's wife.

How big are the deer out your way Billyjoe? I still bow and arrow hunt but now instead of looking to kill a buck I'll only kill a doe or two. Strictly for the meat. My wife and I both love venison and I find the does are much more tender than the bucks. Two will usually last us all year. We eat it all kinds of ways.
The fall season is the best time for striped bass fishing in the surf at the ocean. I'm going down almost every morning around 5 am now thru the end of November. Had a real nice fish on the other morning, about 36", and was about 10 feet from the beach when he flips out of the water and shakes the hook out on me. First one I had on this year. Hope it's not indicative of how it's going to go for me this year. Bad time for my wife though because now I'm either at the surf or in my tree stand.

NRPH up 68%

NRPH is on a roll today ain't it.... http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Stor...oo&siteid=yhoo

[Lyehopper]

I'm going for it

OK, I'm shorting X right now @ around $65.... My cover target is 51.70 or about 20% gain.

Steel.... Short?

Hey Billy.... Send the boy down here! We've got alot of coyotes that need his services.LOL! He sounds like my kinda' kid. When I was shooting my bow alot I would shoot grounghogs for practice. I shot without a peep sight but I did use a "kisser-button". Ask him if he's tried a button VS a peep sight. It helped me shoot more instinctivly.... I know a guy from Salem VA who hunts squirrels with a recurve bow with no sights. He can also shoot targets thrown in the air.

Basic steel is seeing some short covering. Is this little rally temporary? I think so.... I beleive steel will be a good short soon (maybe today).... I'm watching X, GGB, AKS and STLD....

Lye,
Remember last year I told you my 8 year old nephew got a buck bow and arrow hunting? This morning he shot a 40 lb. coyote with an arrow. Of course they get everything mounted. They're going to run out of room to display all the stuff. He's also been trained since he could walk as a wrestler and football player. Got disqualified at least once last year for an illegal hold or maybe it was for biting. His father went to the state wrestling championships around 1980 with an injured knee and his opponent wrecked it for good. Interesting little kid and a good worker.

Don't know of him Billy but I'd love to see the PBS show....

I think Long Horns are nice to look at.... But I wouldn't raise them because they don't sell that good around here and they are hard to work.

I did buy a nice Registered Long Horn Bull at the livestock market a few years ago (I got him real cheap too). My plan was to sell him to someone who might want such a nice Bull, and make a buck.... But everyone I called who fooled with Long horns didn't need him.... So I kept the thing for about two months. One day he broke out of my bull pen and bred some of my good heifers. Needless to say I was a little upset. I sold him the next Monday in Lynchburg. Nine months later a beautiful Black SimAngus Heifer had a Brown spotted ugly ass bull calf to remind me of his stint at Lyehopper Hollow....

great story, Lye! the imagery reminds me of this:

Lye,
Are you familiar with the Dickinson Cattle Comp. one of the largest breeders of Texas Longhorns headquartered here in Ohio? They had a real interesting story on them on Ohio PBS station. Dickinson says he regreted not coming to Ohio sooner. He's got something like a 4 by 2 mile range on reclaimed strip mine land in the southeastern part of the state.

Looking hard at ECOL again....

I'm ready to buy shares of ECOL again. I have lower limit orders in place and hope to build a position ahead of earnings 10/18/06.... ECOL is also paying a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share to holders on record as of 10/13/06....
