Glad you liked the story. The jeep owners dad is a WWII vet, sniper in the Philippines and Japan mainland on occupation.. He pretty old now, but used to be a crack shot...Drop an antelope at full run (50mph) with one shot was no problem. He would always test us, can we hit that mudhole at 600 yards. His son and I would shoot and shoot, getting closer and closer. He would grab my -06, stand there offhand and place the first shot right next to the mudhole. Hands the gun back and says: yes, its sighted in correctly. Then he would say we each only have 1 bullet opening day....who comes back with a critter first. He always did.
Sounds like my kinda guy!
I used to know a guy that when it was really cold and his car wouldn't start, he would lite a fire under the oil pan to warm up the engine!
Now that's "redneck"
