Jul 16 Camera Tripod $12 (Blair, NE) pic map photo/video - by dealer

Craigslist Omaha

Camera tripods are also great as lightweight, portable rifle rests during summer prairie dog shooting.   Saves putting those long, deep grooves in the sheet metal on the roof of your truck.

Never mind how I know.

You mean you don't call from your truck? What kind of redneck are you?
It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

that ebay tripod is too large.  im looking for something maybe 12 inches high.  i had one with a Barska spotting scope, but gave it away with the scope.  and i hate ebay b/c they are anti gun, same goes with amazon.  ill have to check out that craigslist one.

Been hidin' it.   Didn't think it showed all that much.  Outed now.   Like your lederhosen.

But it hain't actual Redneck.  It's real, down-to earth, down-home Hillbilly.   [Which is related to but different from Redneck, as a German Shorthaired Pointer is NOT the same as a German Wirehaired Pointer.]   You get the idea.............

Pure Reynolds County, Missouri Hillbilly.
   Mother's side.   Deep Hillbilly.   Cain't get no better ner up higher on the Hillbilly Pedigree Scale.   Kinda elite, actually.   For a Hillbilly, that is.

Now.....about that tripod..........
