Re: Giveaway Question WHAT? You gave my muzzleloader away to someone else!!!!

Don't worry about, I'm going to win it anyway

Re: your car/truck licence plate slogan? Georgia has a few; 1. Georgia, don't know, don't care. 2. Atlanta, we have more yankee's now than when Sherman came through. 3. We have 3 state flags, take your pick! 4. At least our crime rate isn't as bad as Washington! 5. Could be worse, you could be in Alabama! PH

Re: Spanking? Spanking was a weekly ritual around the house when I was growing up!!! And yes, I do spank my child.

"why go with tree lounge?" You can buy and hamburger or have a nice thick steak.....which one you want? I've used a lounge for years and folks, it's the best tree stand I've set in. For years my biggest problem was getting comfortable in a stand. Ya see, I'm kind of a real tall person and every climber I bought just wasn't made for tall people. You get uncomfortable and start to figit around and at this point, you're day of hunting is shot. With the lounger, I'm comfortable, quite, and can climb a lot higher and still fell safe. By far and hands down, the best sytem out there and if you want the best you're usually going to pay for it. $199.00 is a good price for 1A, darn good price.

Re: Heard part of this story And that my friend is EXACTLY why this law is purely an infringement of man's rights granted to them by the founding fathers of this country. If a man has paid his debt to society then he should be awarded every right that any man has and if we continue to let lawmakers take rights away from inch by inch we'll end up having no rights at all!

Re: Easter is Cancelled.... "some people need to calm down and relax a little bit." Amen brother, Amen!

Re: The news on tv.... I say now is the time. Now is the time we send all those Jack Weed's that said we shouldn't be over there liberating these people, we send them over there and let the Iragi's drag there heads through the street like they drug Sadams head today! That would include the **** French and Canadian governments also! Oh what am I saying, they're one in the same anyway. So pack up Michael Moore's fat rear end along with Penn, Crow, the Fat Chick and all the other supporters of terrorism and murder and send them on over. Course we need to drop some leaflets forewarning the Iragi people these Sadam supporters are on there way. At first this whole thing didn't bother me, the outspoken dribble of others but after seeing the elation and joy overpouring into the streets of bagdad it's really started to boil now. I could just explode so I better shut up now before I get another warning from Scott. PH

Re: NBC news report - Stupid OMG!!! That's too funny!

Don't worry about wtn, the next "yuppie" vehicle will be a Kenworth.

Re: History Channel yesterday I caught about half of it, I'm really thinking about buying the series.

Re: Bear I'm not even sure the black bear even hibernates snapper, guess it would depend on the location. Here in Georgia the bear doesn't hibernate at all.

Re: Murder? Ya know, I've always said that when it comes to game laws, the judicial system is serving merely as a midiate and nothing more than hand slapping is given out when laws are broken. I strongly support tougher game laws but folks, this is taking that stance a bit too far. An eye for an eye can't be the solution when it comes to poaching.............

Re: Hunting partner Great picture!!!

Re: New or Used??? I usually don't trade with someone I don't know so most of my gear is bought new.

I've always felt that both were equally strong in there senses of sight.

Re: Not a popular hunting caliber Well Snap ole buddy, there will be a lot of things in this lifetime that won't make you happy. Some will be avoidable and some won't and most won't be worth the time you worry about them. I believe the true measure of man is his ability to remain calm while those around him panic. You posses a lot of these characteristics.

Re: Not a popular hunting caliber Let me give you an example. How many Postal workers have actually walked into a place of business and shoot up the place with a AK-47? The way most people steryotype Postal workers you would think it was almost a pre-requsite to filing for an application. You can't continually offer up any class of people when comparing to mass murderers.....it's just not the right thing to do.

Re: Not a popular hunting caliber I believe I stated to Snapper in another thread that the only way you'll never offend someone is to keep your mouth shut horst. I hope that never happens because without offending someone, problems will never go unseen and problems will exsist only inside until they cause us to explode. Again, the media doesn't need to classify or even insinuate some type of classification until they know who's doing the killings. Before you know it, the .223 rounds will be solely classified as sniper rounds or assault weapon rounds and guess what, they'll be banned just like the guns and magazines were a few years ago. One more step, one more ban, one more win for tryanny.

Re: Not a popular hunting caliber What would be better for the media to say? “Hunting rifle used in killings” or “Hunting round used in killings” Or how about this; “Assault rifle used in killings” or “Assault rifle round used in killings” I don’t think anyone wants to see any of these headlines in any paper or on the news. It indirectly links hunters with a mass killer running loose in the D.C. area. Why not something like this for the news caption; “Mad man on the loose” or “Insane killer stalks area” When this guys is caught and lets pray it’s soon, what if it turns out to be someone that’s a “hunter” and maybe a “construction worker”. Will you care then if the media turns this into a circus directed and construction workers that happen to hunt also? The media has classified you then, linked you with a mass murderer, will you give a rats behind then? The .223 round is used quite a lot, it’s a great round and in my opinion one of the best rounds if you’re needing something that’s flat and accurate. I’ve used that round shooting small game at long distances, the military has also used that round in combat for years. Somewhere someone in a political position is thinking at this moment that this type of round shouldn’t be available for the general populace. And in some hair-brained twisted agenda will suggest that it’s for the good of all American’s if the government would just take all these rounds off the market. There goes my primary ground hog and praire dog rifle not to mention my AR-15. All of which are legal to own today. Remember, a politician can construed things into sounding like they’re good but in the end are useless. You reap what they sew just so they can get re-elected. Snap, the wife beating thing is a metaphor. “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?” Answer No and it implies you have beaten your wife and continue to do so. Answer Yes and it implies you have in the past but have stopped now. Either way you answer the question you’re screwed, you’re labeled now, classified with a certain group. Starting to see the picture? Yes horst we cry a lot when someone classifies to a mass murderer in the same group as hunters, the question is why don’t more hunters cry foul? Was Son of Sam or the Boston Strangler a knife collector? Was Aileen Wuornos a gun enthusiast? Was the guy in Texas just a baseball fan or baseball bat collector? Was Donald Harvey just another nurse? Yeah, and Jeffery Dalhmer was just looking for his next meal. The question is why does the media seem to have to link someone killing others with certain groups of people. It seems perfectly appropriate to classify them as mass murderers. But no, we choose to argue among ourselves on who’s right, who’s wrong, who really doesn’t care anymore and who's offending who. PH [ 10-14-2002, 08:47 AM: Message edited by: ParrotHead ]

It's spreading like wildfire....just take all the precautions and make sure you don;t have things lying around the house or yard that collects water.

Re: CB Radios....... YB, I haven't used a CB radio in 15 years.....do they still make 'em? PH

Re: Do you use any other forums??? I moderated and admin'd over at HuntAmerica for about 4 years and still visit there some. I post some to Huntchat, Rifleshooter and Accurate Reloading. YB15, I also use to moderate the political boards at Outdoorsite but when they changed formats Paul and those guys decided the political boards didn't need to come along with it! Is JT and Droptine still over there? Those were some pretty good guys.

Re: Do you keep a trigger lock on you\'re pistol My whole stance on this is if you render your home protection useless, then why even have it at all? I hear guys all the time talk about home protection in the form of a gun and it's usually locked away somewhere, out of reach of everyone, this isn't home protection in my mind. All but one of my guns are locked away in a safe. I keep one loaded and easily accessable if I need it. Right now, my child doesn't have a clue as to where it's at or even that it's there. I'll continue to teach him good safe techniques and in doing so, hopefully take away any curiosity that he may have about guns. Education is the first step folks, then practial knowledge of the firearm and good "on-hands" teaching. Take away the curiosity factor, insteal proper techniques and last insteal the fear factor of there father upon them if they're ever caught goofing off with a gun. Most of you grew up with guns in the house just as I did. What was the most scary thing about having a gun around? For me, it was my father if he caught me playing one! PH
