Tim Schnautz, Heart Attack
From Facebook;
Tim suffered a heart attack on Friday and is likely facing at least one surgery and, for now, an uncertain future. He has been a bi-vocational minister in the Sailor Springs Christian Church and elsewhere in the Clay City and Greenup area. I know he and his wife, Bridget, will appreciate your prayers, along with his daughter, Krystine, and others in the family. === Tim is one heck of a great guy who will do almost anything to help ypu put. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. |

Wow thanks guys. Here it it at 4:45am Sunday. And I'm awake because it seems I've slept for a day and 1/2. So far 1 stint then review other options. So far so good I guess. Thanks guys!

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. Tim had what's called a 'Widomaker' heart attack, with an 80% blockage of the left anterior artery (from what I understand Tim to have said)and total blockage of the other two arteries. More info is he http://myheart.net/articles/the-widowmaker/ He was supposed to get a stint put in this morning, but the docs decided the risk was too great so put the stint in last night. He says he doesn't need anything, but that a few prayers wouldn't hurt. He also sounded in pretty good spirits, even though he's going to have to go on a cardboard diet. |

Good deal, stay healthy. We need a little more balance here. Too many citiots. I know a few guys here with the same type of thing (this is Florida, you don't have to look far for some with just about any malady) The rehab for the heart thing seems to be exercise and diet. Maybe you should do more "walking around" hunting and less of that "sit up against a tree" stuff Quail are lower in cholesterol than squirrels anyway. ;-) Get up, move around as soon as you can and get better, we need you. |

Oh boy.. Tim. I'll certainly be offering prayers for your speedy and complete recovery. You are like an oasis in the bleak barren desert that this group has become. We do need your positive contributions.
A couple of months ago I brought this subject to my doctor. I complained that we didn't have an easily accessible diagnostic program to check us for potential problems like clogged arteries. His response was to change my lifestyle now to head off problems. Best of luck to you over the next few months. |

Quail and woodcock are just more challenging to hit, particularly if you are too poor for a bird dog. It might be a long walk between birds. I was talking to a farmer down in southern Virginia a few weeks ago. He had some bird dogs, and we just got to talking about hunting. He said the quail are just about gone due to the coyotes. He said the same about the deer. The coyotes eat the eggs and young quail and the young deer. Hell, he was worried a pack of coyotes might get one of his dogs out wandering by itself. We used to hunt quail out Rt 50, a few miles outside Fairfax. Now it's just one big shopping center or townhouse development almost to Winchester. Got quite a few quail - back in early 70's. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

That might be fun for the dog but a real bird dog takes a lot of training. The pair we were hunting over could herd up a covey and hold them until you called the flush, then they charged the birds and flushed them away in a "station 7 low house" configuration. Shooting them seemed too easy to me. I limited out in less than an hour. Walking them down is a lot more like hunting. You are never sure when they will flush or which way they will go. The most challenging is woodcock in heavy cover. |

Pheasants, pigeons, and quail is about it as far as birds go. Oh, and crows as a kid. Never shot one. They seemed to know what a rifle looks like and would stay about a half mile away. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Back in the olden days we used to shoot crows at the dump (not a real land fill, just an old country dump) but we made blinds so they would get close enough. We were still taking shots at 50 yards or more. My old Remington .22 pump with a 6x Weaver was pretty reliable out to 100 yards. |

The most challenging is woodcock in heavy cover. No, my dog's not trained. When I first got her, she'd 'point' robins and hold it until I said "OK". Now she's gotten used to the birds and shows no interest. She'd point just like in the pictures, with one paw raised and dead still. Never hunted woodcock. Wouldn't know what one looked like. Pheasants, pigeons, and quail is about it as far as birds go. Oh, and crows as a kid. Never shot one. They seemed to know what a rifle looks like and would stay about a half mile away. Woodcock is like a quail with a long beak. They live back in the woods. The first one I kicked surprised the hell out of me but I gave him a load of #5s anyway. I was expecting a rabbit. The owner didn't even know they were there. Back in the olden days we used to shoot crows at the dump (not a real land fill, just an old country dump) but we made blinds so they would get close enough. We were still taking shots at 50 yards or more. My old Remington .22 pump with a 6x Weaver was pretty reliable out to 100 yards. I'm guessing dump crows are not as smart as farm crows. On my grandfather's farm they were smart sonsabitches. I had a single-shot .22 - no scope. It's funny because the damn things would sit on the power lines cawing as we walked to school. But as soon as I had the rifle they'd never come close. Must be related somehow to fly's. Ever notice one can bug the s%&T out of you until you get a fly swatter? It then disappears. I really think it has more to do with eye contact. When you look at an animal like you are a predator they can tell the difference and they get away. I see the same thing with wasps. If you just swat aimlessly at one, they will end up stinging you but it you actually make a well targeted motion at them, they fly away. In the case of a paper wasp nest, there is always a "guard". Identify him and engage him and you can usually just knock the nest down, unharmed. If you don't engage him, you will get stung, usually in the back somewhere. That leads to more stings. |
