Big News Today!

Big News in Lando today!

Mr. Crouse and his brother, Dirk, were out hunting over the weekend. Sunday was the last day for big game Bull Squirrels, so they wanted to try for the big one before the season went out.

Dirk says that they had been out in the field since 5 that morning, and were tired and ready to give up for the day. They had already packed most of the ammo, rifles, grenade launchers and rpg's into the truck when they heard that tell-tale whooshing sound over their heads.

Ray said he just had a minute to toss Dirk a stand-by M16 with only half a clip in it. Dirk caught the rifle in mid-air and and emptied the clip at the sound as soon as his finger hit the trigger. Seconds later the ferocious beast hit the ground right in front of the truck!

The warden at the check station says he thinks it may be a state record, and is obviously the biggest one ever landed with such an underpowered weapon.

Looks like there's going to be good eating at the Crouse household for several months.

Look at the size of that tail! It's got to be at least six feet! That's going to be one tasty tail-bone chowder!

Several years back a couple of guys brought in what would have to be real close to the size of this one, but I dont think it counted towards the state record. They brought it down with an F16, and that was before it was legal to use F16's to hunt Bull Squirrel.

But hold on to your hats, that aint all! Ray and Lari got approval to go to Asia for their daughter, Jessamine Love, this morning. Looks like Dirk and his kids will get the lion's share of that Bull Squirrel because the Crouse's are going to be eating tête de poulet for a couple of weeks!

All-in-all, a big day in Lando. Thanks for stopping by!
