I'll meet you part way on this one. I should have said most pit bulls. A well bred, temperamentally stable American Pit Bull Terrier is less likely to kill a human. The American Pit Bull Terrier's that *are* human aggressive should be destroyed. Period. They are a dog aggressive breed, it's a common trait.. so that shouldn't surprise you. What I meant to say is there are hardly any real American Pit Bull Terrier left.. Today's "pit bull", are those overbred, hippo things.. which aren't American Pit Bull Terriers.

If you are truly loyal to your pit bull, I dare you to call your homeowners insurance carrier and tell them that you have a pit bull.

Ding..Ding..Ding!!!!!! You just validated my point! Originally! You can find quality animals with all of the breeds you mentioned but you have to have the bloodlines and you will keep those good traits. Today's pit bulls have had those good traits bred out of them and we are stuck with the sorry asterisk breed that we have today. Luke's numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. Take a look at the dog bite and fatality numbers for the last 10 years and one breed tops the list....pit bull. Any dog can be a great guard dog. You don't need one as unstable as a pit.

It's unfortunate that you have them. I hope you have a taste for pork.

First I'm sorry I didn't follow up on this after my initial comment. I simply forgot about it. I understand how people can loyal to a breed but I often question owners why they have pit bulls. And when I ask them, 8 out of 10 times is its a status symbol. Few people get them for what they were actually bred for. Now you take a breed that is popular for making people "look tough" and it becomes popular like it did 10 years ago. Every mom and pop trailer park hick are going to the ASPCA and getting cheap unmanageable pits for $50. Now they are suddenly pit bull breeders for extra cigarette and beer money. Figure in that rarely does Jon Q. Redneck want to pay for a quality AKC pit breeder so they truck off to the trailer park. Demand for cheap dogs is good and then the inbreeding takes place and the gene pool gets sckewed with dogs that people cannot handle. Strange how most of the dogs at the shelter are pits...funny how that is I have always been a strong proponent of "no bad dogs just bad owners" but when you have a bad gene pool like what has happened to pits over the years and that tips the the scale the other way. I have two neighbors with pits and I laugh when they call them babies. Neighbor #1 left the house for a while with his two pits in the house. Comes home and finds a scene from Helter Skelter. Blood EVERYWHERE. Come to find out, the dogs got into the garbage then started to fight over it. One pit tears the ear off the other creating a bloodbath in the house. They fought in 3 different rooms and cost the owner thousands in vet bills with one having to be put down. Funny, never hear about labs doing something like this. Neighbor #2 has 3 pits. I go riding past the house on my bike after taking the kids to vacation bible school. The come tearing out of the yard barking and snapping. I hit the afterburners and they gave up. Now I'm worried about my kids on their bikes. I tell the owner about the dogs. "oh don't worry, they are big babies" Yeah maybe for you. Pit bull owners forget to realize that the dog will act differently for them and not for others. Now I have to pack a pistol whenever I ride past the house. I'm going to wind this down. The breed itself was bred for one thing, guard dog/fighting. And you take a breed like that and skew the gene pool like what has happened over the last 10 years or so and you will be hard pressed to find a pit that isn't a little nuts.

Congratulations to you and Lisa! Cheers my friend!!

What you may not know, Pigman is an accomplished riflesmith. Before he was on TV, he was working part time as a car salesman and part time as a riflesmith. People from all around would bring in their rifles and he turns them into serious, deadly accuate killing machines. I have become a big fan of Pigman and it is one of the four outdoor shows that I make a point to watch.

Prayers and panzki wishes from New York are on the way! Good luck!

I have shot Bowtech and Diamond and they are real shooters. However if you go to archerytalk and do a search on customer Bowtech customer service, you can write a book about the poor service many of their customers have received.

Good luck Tim!!

About 3-4 years ago I wrote to Carbon Express and asked them if their Walmart arrows were the same quality. I got a nice email back that basically said in a nutshell no they are not. I'm at work now. Let me look around when I get home and I'll see if I can find the email. I do buy the walmart arrows for my kids and have them cut down. The way they lose arrows, you cannot beat the price.

Great buck!! Not if I could have held it together for 15 minutes looking and listening to a buck of that caliber.

Dan really explained it well. I looked hard at the Rock when I was looking for a new bow 3 years ago. It should serve you well.

Funny how that day affected us all. I still pause for a moment everytime I look at clock and the time is 9:11. Prayers to all who were involved on that very sad day.

Try Cliff bars. High energy and very filling.

Congrats!!

Great buck!! I see over 150" of horn but he will net in the 140's. Great buck, hope you get a chance to shank him.

About 25 yards. I won't shoot over 40 unless its already wounded.

Hard to tell, they are usually covered in blood.

That's the ticket. Be sure to spray it on the night before and allow it to dry or you will be mucho stinky.

That's a majority. I'll PM Redneck to change us to Hardwoods Heart Stoppers.

Sorry, I can't help you. But if you go to Archery Talk there will be a ton of info on the subject.

I'd get some sleeping pills because that image would haunt my dreams for a long time.
