Jezebel likes pork
« on: August 09, 2020, 04:51:25 AM »
Some of you may recall that Mike Brooks made a painted lady rifle for me that I call "Jezebel ".  Well late this afternoon just as light was fading the .60 cal. rifle had a chance at a really nice young boar hog that weighs 175/200 lbs and came through with flying colors. I think I can learn to like her even if her makeup is a little heavy. Picture attached. This young hog will make some fine eating for a friend of mine.

That is one of Mike's best rifles, IMO.

YOU should love her like the HUSSY she is!!!!

Good shooting!!

Being a traditional old gas bag, I was prepared to dislike Jezebel on sight...then sqrldog let me hold her at Bama's AL-KY rifle show and after getting to caress her curves and hold her close I had to admit she has a lot of charm! As far as a shooter, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, 'cause old sqrldog can go into the swamp with a piece of sewer pipe, a marble, and a pocket full of strike-anywhere match heads and come back with a hog for dinner. Maybe we can get M. Brooks down "heah" in January to tell some tales about Jezebel's past. What a display...Jezebel and one of Bama's Calvary church ladies on the same table!

Good job Tim! Nice hog, nice rifle. Looks like the .60 made quite a hole in that hog. Where did you get the sling?

Thanks for all the kind comments about the rifle and the hog. Jezebel is in my opinion some of Mikes better work.  I understand she may not be for everyone but I am fond of her and that's all that matters.

Ted the strap came from Jeanne McDonald.  I asker for something to match the rifle with a little Native American look to it. Well pleased with her work. I own several of her straps.

I like it.  Sling looks great on her.  I have several of Jeannes slings myself.  They dress up a gun real nice.

Now that’s a pretty rifle, being put to its ultimate best use!  Isn’t that the one Mike was working on that we saw last August at Stoner’s?  It was far enough along that I already fell in love with the lines, and the carving and decorations just put it way over the top!  Another “.60 Also” doing work!

Congrats,
Greg

Those 60's are starting to grow on me. Look at the size of that drain hole in that slab of bacon. ;)

Jezebel is my kind of woman!  I bet I could make an honest woman out of her.

I think you have one of the best, and most pretty, of Mike's production.  He has combined metal, wood, and paint in a wonderful way.  Quite the artist!
