Today is a milestone day of sorts for me and I'm a little reflective. I've got some unexpected downtime so today is your lucky day.

Answers will reflect the questions...serious will be taken seriously, great questions will receive a thoughtful answer, and anything else will be handled accordingly.

hogs.....

The guy bitches at us from the pilots seat at every opportunity. Lean out further, get your ass cheek on the seat, don't let that slide handle break my damn windshield(because it happened a year earlier or something)...He's bitched so much I'm getting pissed off to the point of it ruining my trip. On the ride home he does some fancy Kiowa Pilot shit and we drop map of the earth in a creek bed and roar 16 miles to camp. I'm so pissed off I'm not enjoying it and I'm contemplating breaking his ****ing jaw when we land. I'm paying for this shit....

The last group goes up and returns soaked from the light rain, never having seen a pig......the pilot basically says "well it's raining....and might all day, I'm booked tomorrow so you might think about going home if you don't want to wait 2 days(with no lodging...and the promised camp chef that wasn't there and had not made the breakfast we had been promised)

We're still paying full price if we leave.....but getting half the air time. This guy is a dick.

Late afternoon the weather breaks. First group goes up....Its about my turn and I'm annoyed enough with this asshole that I don't even care to go up for my second trip...I offer it to the other 4 guys but they insist I go. Reluctantly I do...but if he acts like he did last time, I'm not responsible for my actions on the ground.....

We strap in, tether our weapon choices to our chest strap and lift off. After half an hour of nothing, we are hovering over ground that is the wrong color on the map. My brother sees a cluster of hogs below us and tells the pilot. He doesn't believe him because he didn't see them first.....they are there....we hover up and down to try to get them to flee across a river where we can shoot....pilot says they will never go. My brother grins and says "watch this" and starts waving his arms up and down....and the cluster breaks for the creek. We drop lower and watch them cross a shallow river...they're going to enter a large field where we can shoot.....50-60 pigs are entering an open field. This is what I thought it would be like.

We swoop in low behind them, we're instructed to start at the back and work forward with the group...which we already knew from years of deer hunting. My brother in the front, I in the rear seat and we begin to lay waste. The hogs split into 2 groups of 30 and we're on them. We're both firing essentially on the same pig, it rolls and then move up to the next. I turn a little up when I lean and I see a brass eject into the hood of my brother's pullover and it goes down his neck...It's funny but not funny.....He goes on a terror of 3 round bursts and rolls pig after pig before I can even shoot. When it's over we leave 18 on the ground in that field. The pilot, who has been a complete asshole the entire time begins to cheer and says "holy shit, you guys CAN shoot" and mentions using my brother's video as training for his future hunts.

The last group goes up again, never sees a pig. We all pay full price, they say it's too muddy to collect any meat and basically want us to leave.

It was fun but we went with the wrong outfit. My brother said the guy was an asshole because he was a warrant officer in the army too long.

Now, he is becoming known for some of his on the mat antics that he pulled at Drexel. He displayed bizarre behavior at times, most notably trying to break Stevan Micic’s arm with a Kai Mura Jiu Jitsu move at the end of their match in the quarters at nationals...this was when it was obvious that he was going to lose the match...he was getting his butt kicked. After the match, there has been an abundance of rumbling about DeSanto having autism...something that had never come out prior to that match..

Since nationals, DeSanto has been granted his release from Drexel and it looks very likely that he is going to transfer to Iowa. He attended the World Cup with Lee this weekend...definitely being recruited.

Do you think it is a mistake for Iowa to be recruiting this kid, given his behavioral concerns? Should they treat him with kids gloves due to his alleged autism? How much different should the coaches handle or treat him due to his autism? Do you think it’s a good idea that they are pursuing this or do you think they are just asking for disaster?

I know Iowa is under a lot of pressure to compete with Penn State. I think they have a hole in the lineup and are willing to make some risky moves to do it. Honestly, Tom Brands is an asshole according to most of the people I know who know him, and the mutual family we know....I want iowa to have tough wrestlers, but not dirty ones. I want them to have people my son can look up to.....not a huge fan of this move if true.

Also, I don't buy the autistic argument. he's just a dick.

You should have blasted him with some of your CP fire.

And videoed it.

I would pay money for that shit.

I will be away today but will circle back to this. I'm sure I've got a bucket full of stories where I was angry about stupid things.

My brother and I were both wearing his go pro....After we got off the first round, I was telling my brother that if the guy got off the copter I might break his ****ing jaw. I was hot. My brother laughed and pointed up at his go pro and to mine(they were the companies and they use the footage to make a video).

I looked straight at the camera and left the asshole the very message you were looking for....he saw it for sure and so did his helper. It didn't make the final video however.

I’ve kind of heard the same thing. Heard Terry is one of the coolest guys ever, but Tom is a dick.

DeSanto’s interviews are weird...I don’t know what to make of them. I know he had a terrible concussion that kept him out a month or two...I wonder if he has had issues with that.

KS Smitty · 04-10-2018, 04:58 PM

Have you ever eaten feral hog meat? I would think it would have a strong flavor.

I have said this before, but I wrestled terry brands at a freestyle clinic when I was a sophomore Andy he was a national champ. Twice actually.

I have a couple of times. I shot one in Oklahoma a few years ago. I made a big batch of slow roaster pulled pork and it was good. We cooked another one in the ground whole and it was ok.

You live in corn country. What are your thoughts on GMO?

**Iowanian** · 04-10-2018, 07:35 PM

I don't consider myself an expert on the subject of GMO. I understand the need and value of disease and pest resistant corn at a time that more people need to be fed on less acreage. With the expense of crop inputs I inderstsnd why farmers will use the, to increase yields for a shit at making money. I understand the need for tougher stalks than handle storms wind and drought.

I also think sometimes the need for increased yield can come at a cost and that while I have no proof, I am open to the possibilities that there are unintended consequences. Simple examples are the corn stalks that are 7' spears. I've had more than one stalk bust through the dash of a ranger and nearly impale myself or a passenger. Last fall a guy riding with me was a couple of inches from having his ball sack kabobed. Looking at how fat Americans are getting it does make me question how much corn syrup is being ingested and if it has some contribution to rising cancer rates. Too much sugar isn't good for us.....as I swig a Mountain Dew.

I guess consider me a cautious supporter. I think the companies have an obligation to put safe products into the food resources......that don't kill my honey bees.

Good reasoned response.

I would think you would be all for most of it. I mean, the corn belt is not going to stop growing corn (as the guy in the wheat belt actively tries to grow less wheat), and without the BT gene your neighbors would be spraying thousands of tons of insecticide to kill root worm beetles. Shit is nasty - certainly worse than herbicide. Insects are a lot closer to human physiology than plants. Then there is runoff and all the nice stuff. And talk about killing your bees!

My plants come under far too much stress to ever be that tough of cornstalk, so I can’t really relate.

As far as the nutrition side I agree stuff needs to not be poisoned, but in terms of being fat, we are probably going to be fat whether it is off of imported cane sugar or corn syrup. And I’m certainly not an advocate of someone handling nutrition for me because I’m not disciplined enough to do it right.

I presume you know, but it isn’t GMOs that kill your bees. It is “supposedly” the insecticide in the seed treatment. Which I’ll buy.

One bump to notify the pending conclusion of the EyeowayneEan AMA.

Thank you to those who participated. If you take nothing else from the culmination of my 17 years of posting here; donate blood and become CPR certified if you are not. Doing one of those two things make the time I've wasted here telling dick jokes to you people worth it.
