Tick removal..............A friend took out his wallet and used two credit cards held like playing cards with the tick in the V. With slight pressure he removed the tick in a few minutes!
In my post #21 I was referring to the OP's #1 post in which his question was on two rifles and ammo. I was thinking of those rounds when I goofed and typed "any" which should have been either.

Larger calibers etc are needed for those that make poor first hit shots IMHO.
Thank you Dave for posting pictures!
I found most of these in the 50 and 60's on my relatives ranches, but a few after that.
I have another picture to post when my wife can send it to Dave, later today I hope.
Picture coming soon..........Someone please tell me what they think the broken one...

Reference, Indian artifact..........back to the picture on post #182 and a few after. I have a sandstone piece about 7" in diameter, 3" high, with a grove around it 1" down from the top. I found this in a small creek that once had Steelhead and Salmon runs. An old timer in his late 80's told me...
