[TPR] Christmas Wishes - Back in the saddle

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Teal? Sorry bro I am not with you on this one. Getting ready to hit the sack but 
thought I would drop you guys a few lines.

And that brings back some memories of the time we were in Texas on our hunt 
sitting in our blind, sharing a bottle of Yukon Jack when a formation of 
Canadian Geese flew overhead. They were flying at 1,000 feet obviously too high 
to hit with a H&H 12 gauge when you pulled out the M107 (.50 Cal Sniper Rifle 
case). WTFO!!!

By the time you got the M107 out, had chambered a round and were on target and 
fired the geese formation had to be 3,000 feet away. . .or damn near a mile. 
 You took aim, while "One Shot" spotted and called out distance and wind 
velocity for you....and then "One Shot" (Erik Belter) finally yelled out, HOLY 
SHEEEEEEEEEEEIT - YOU HIT THE LEAD. 

Not exactly a legal kill. While everyone chewed on your ass for awhile  YOU and 
I  continued passing the bottle of Yukon Jack back and fourth. No more then 30 
minutes had passed when we noticed a Fish & Game SUV roll up. Two officers got 
of the SUV and walked up to our group and asked us to stand up and leave the 
weapons in the blind. 

We then walked over to the officers and YOU pulled out your cop ID and badge 
which they did not even blink at but said something like, "This is TEXAS - not 
California sir, let me see all your tags and please don't make any sudden 
movements".  

He then asked who our leader was and everyone pointed to me (you bastards) and 
he asked if he could talk to me a bit in private. . .So we walked a few feet 
away and he whispered, "have you guys been drinking?" 

"NO SIR" was my immediate response. So yea, that was a bit of a stretch.....but 
then he said, 

"We have been observing your hunting party for the last 2 hours and we saw you 
take down the goose". . .I said, "excuse me sir but that would have been 
impossible because we never shot at any geese".  He just quietly said, 
"bullsheeeit" and stared at me for a good minute probably seeing if I would 
blink or maybe he just thought he'd never heard such a great answer. 

Finally he said "turn around and put your hands behind your back and interlock 
your fingers".....I asked him if it would be okay if I took off my gloves 
first....he didn't laugh.....thats when YOU walked up....okay finish the rest of 
this story because it only gets better with age.
