Re: Homemade Archery targets A couple cans of spray insulation (Great Stuff, etc.) sprayed into a cardboard box makes a pretty good target. You can shoot broadheads at it too although it won't last quite as long (duh!). Good Luck.

Re: D Loop Great pics. I started using one for the first time last year and (using pictures) tied my own. It took a couple of tries to get the length like I wanted but it wasn't that hard. I haven't punched myself in the mouth yet anyway.

Re: tattoos [ QUOTE ] get your WHOLE arm covered in Realtree Hardwoods HD or HD green [/ QUOTE ] Heck, just do your whole body and hunt naked.

Re: Your Chosen Broadhead? [ QUOTE ] Muzzy 100 3-blade. BAD TO THE BONE, Baby!!! [/ QUOTE ] Same here. Hasn't ever broken, so I won't try to fix it.

Re: Guarunteed hunt on Ebay........sickening. [ QUOTE ] hhhmmmm.... While I agree with all of you 110% this is terriable and gives hunting a bad rep. But can you blame the guy?? You know the only reason he has done this is because SOMEONE WILL pay him that kind of money to do such a thing. I wish he would not give them the option but he is. Is this really any different than other ranches (except the guarunteed for a 240 inch part)?? Again I dont agree with this in any way shape or form but if some MORON is going to give ya $20,000 to shoot a deer can you hardly blame him fro taking the money??? [/ QUOTE ] That's part of what I told him in my "question". I told him the sad thing is that I had no doubt there was some other misguided, disgusting person out there who would give him 20 grand for his "hunt".

Re: Ethical Question???? Make your sermon this Sunday about trust. Ask him to sit in the front pew. Let him stew on it a couple days and then call him in for a little chat. If that doesn't work - can him.

Re: Guarunteed hunt on Ebay........sickening. You were right hutchies. It makes me want to puke. People like this who call this kind of stuff "hunting" and bastardize the very sport we hold so dear do a lot more damage to us than the anti's ever thought about doing IMO. Afterall, most of them are just idiots and can't help it. You could give me the 20 grand and I wouldn't set foot on his place. I'm sending him a "greeting" from Virginia as well.

Re: Patient ready for surgery in OR 6 Didn't even know my mother in law was having surgery? What's she doing in Michigan anyway?

Re: Leftovers Shoot, leftovers are one of the basic food groups at my house.

Re: another ??? for women Confucius asks: If a man speaks and there is not a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Re: I have a ??? for the women in here. I get the same stuff from my wife. I'm working on my 18th year. Last year my wife said she wanted to go somewhere she hadn't been in while. So, I took her hand and walked her into the kitchen.

Re: Snake Pictures You sound like my grandfather (God rest his soul). He absolutely HATED snakes. Didn't matter if it was a copperhead or a garter snake, he wanted it dead. I remember standing on his patio years ago and along come a king snake through the yard. "Go kill that thing boy!". I said, "It's not poisonous and will actually eat other snakes". His response, "I don't care if it bites you to death or scares you to death - dead is dead".

The Church Phone... A man decided to write a book about churches around the country. He began by flying to San Francisco, and traveled east from there. He entered a very large San Francisco church, took photographs, and made notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall, with a sign, which read, "$10,000 per minute." Seeking out the pastor, he asked about the phone and the sign. The Pastor answered that the golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to Heaven, and if he pays the price, he can talk directly to God. The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle, Salt Lake City, Denver, Chicago, Milwaukee and around the United States, he found more such phones, with the same sign, and the same explanation from each pastor. Finally, the man arrived in a small town in the lovely state of Georgia. Upon entering a church, behold: he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read: "Calls: 25 cents"! Fascinated, the man asked to speak with the pastor. "Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone, and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven, and that I could use it to talk to God. But in 20 other churches, the cost was $10,000 per minute. Your sign says 25 cents per call why is that? The pastor, smiling benignly, replied: "Son, you're in the South now, and it's a local call."

Re: WHA will NOT use Darts!!!!! [ QUOTE ] "After hearing the voice of so many concerned people in the hunting community, I think the biggest issue was the darting," said Farbman, 34, an executive in his family owned real estate company that manages properties such as Detroit's New Center One building. "Our only goal will continue to be to build something that will promote the heck out of hunting (participation) numbers. [/ QUOTE ] Sorry David, I'm still against what you're trying to do. Darting was never the biggest issue with me. It's the fact you're destroying the spirit of what hunting is all about by turning it into competition. To win or succeed in the WHA circus, you will have to make a "kill". That's the wrong message. Some of the most succesful and memorable days I've had hunting I've killed nothing but time. That's my point, you don't have to pull the trigger to "win". By the way, anybody else read the article about the WHA in this month's Outdoor Life? Farbman and Sykes are two of the most arrogant (I know what's right for you) son of a gun's I ever heard. "The WHA is God's vision". PLEEEASE!

Re: New Here Welcome! Hmmm? BRONZEBACK. Smallmouth fan?

Re: Scariest [ QUOTE ] Mine would probably have to be the time I almost got shot. [/ QUOTE ] Mine too. Used to be member of a hunt club. We were making drives one day and I had posted in the corner of an old field. No one was "supposed" to be anywhere near me. The deer, a nice buck, came out into the field about halfway from the opposite corner, turned and was running right to me. All of sudden, BOOM-BOOM and I had 00 buckshot whistling all around me, hitting in the trees above my head and whizzing through the grass at my feet. How I didn't get hit, I don't know. One of the other guys (who had done this crap before) had moved after everyone was set. He had gotten in the other corner of the field and when the deer came out in between us he just cut loose. Idiot. Anybody wonder why I'm not in the club anymore?

Re: What is your claim to fame? I'm the oldest grandson (of three) of U.S. Congressman W.C. "Dan" Daniel. He represented the 5th District of Virginia from 1969 until his untimely passing in 1988. Provided me with some neat opportunities as a youngster including meeting President Ford in the Rose Garden. He was also the National Commander of the American Legion before he was elected to Congress. Known as "Daniel Boone" to his three grandsons, I still miss him to this day.

Re: Question for country music fans. She must have incriminating video tape on one of our local DJ's. They play the heck out of it down here. Even heard an taped interview about the song yesterday.

Re: Been noticing the ages... [ QUOTE ] I scrolled through the deer contest entries to see how old everyone was. [/ QUOTE ] I did the same thing. I'll be 45 in December. When it gets me down I just consider the alternative. When you stop having birthday's it becomes a problem!

Re: The apple of my eye... And to think some us were labeled as "girly men" for wearing surgical gloves to gut a deer.

Re: Asked the pilot if I could fly [ QUOTE ] I can't believe he wouldn't let you fly it, some people, I mean really, what is the worst you could do? [/ QUOTE ] Worst case is Doc (and the pilot) would become the harvestee instead of the harvester.

Re: Troy Gentry indicted for hunting violation [ QUOTE ] Well, I will wait and see what happens and I would LOVE to hear an explanation of this. If it is as the government says, I hope they lock him up. Chances are, he will get a small fine (proably under $1,000), have to pay restitution, and probably lose his ability to hunt for a year or two. No big deal. That would be like fining me 20 cents. WHY WHY WHY would anyone, especially someone with the money Troy has, do something like this? Why? It isn't hunting. It isn't sporting. It isn't an accomplishment. It wouldn't be anything but shallowness to look at the mount or rug. I like their music a lot but if this pans out to be true and he isn't given anything more than a fine, I won't support them any longer. If he does time and truly apologizes, I will think about supporting them again. Extremely disappointed. New [/ QUOTE ] I agree with you 100% New. What a major screw-up on his part if it's true. I know some of you don't like their music, but I do. He should understand that being in the country/southern rock genre that a good portion of his fan base are probably members of the hunting community. Slaps us all in the face - if it's true. Maybe the Dixie Chicks told him to do it.
