    Colorado Ute ~ 1 Big Boomer ~ 0

    An exceedingly large boomer (male kangaroo) leapt out from behind cover to try and hitch a ride with my wife & sister in-law in my 4 x 4 ute.
    They are fine did a good number on the vehicle, the roo well it did not fair well in fact neither did the vehicle repairs will be taking a fair while I feel.
    Could have been more the Rt 1/4 of the roo bar took most of it but the Rt guard as well drivers door & rear Rt passenger door.
    Sadly we are coming up to winter as I have a few m/cycles to choose from but am very adverse to riding in wet weather now.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    LOL, that is so alien to me but I'm sure normal for you. We hit deer here, by the thousands, just in my state. They put signs up to warn people about deer. I never hit a deer in my life living in one of the heaviest populated states in the country but I made ONE trip to Mississippi and ran one over down there.

    How many roos are killed on the highways?
