planting watermelon with a .243
« on: October 03, 2011, 05:42:40 AM »
Picked a couple of water melons that had started to split. I took them to a pasture area outside of our yard and shot them with 70 grain bullets. ;D  Seeds were spread over a wide area! Will see if anything comes up next year.

If hair and feathers were like seeds, I guess I would have planted quite a few deer, groundhogs and turkey with a 243.   ;D

Used to live in town and had a backyard garden.  Several times during the year the wife would bring home a watermellon and the kids would eat it on the deck.  I am sure many seeds were spint into the garden.  Years later a plant can up and I let if grow.  It producted a delicious mellon that was orange on the inside.  We had never seen an orange watermellon, so whatever went into the soil a prior year had to be a hybrid seed that went back to an older branch on its family  tree.
