*WHEN HUNTING DEER* Any of ya'll use this? I was just wondering why I couldn't toss my wife's iPhone in my bag and check it in right there in the field? Also, if you check it in right there, can you remove the head and leave it out in the woods for all the little scavengers to munch on? Be nice to leave the entrails AND the head out in the sticks and not bring that back home.

If the gadgets make a fella happy, so be it. Me? None of them. The only two reasons to get out in the first place is to get some good eatin':) and get away from man's crap. Let's see what I take deer hunting. *Clothes - what ever is warm enough, but I'm so hot natured, I hunt in denim shorts unless it's below 30 degrees. No fancy camo or wild scent blocking nonsense. This is Middle TN, you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a deer. *Shoulder bag or backpack (whatever mood I'm in) - Skinning knife, bottle of rubbing alcohol, spray bottle of H2O2, compass, tinder box, and a lighter...oh and some beef jerky in case I get the munchies. *Belt - canteen, field knife (I never need it, but I like carrying it) and Ruger Blakchawk in 45 LC. *Rifle(308) and about 10 rounds of ammo. Strap on my good boots, and I will see you around twilight. I could understand more care being taken for bow season, but i don't bow hunt. I don't hunt period until 98% of the leaves are off the trees. I will say this, I am seriously considering looking into checking in via the internet. I haven't read all the details yet, but I might be inclined to take an iPhone with me and check it in right then and there.

Okay, normally, I despise sporterized warhorses. This is NOT one of those times. This is also NOT one of the typical bubba bo bob gunschmitt hack jobs that have ruined countless war relics. This is classy and very well done. Very nice Troll, very nice. Simple (until you really pay attention;))and elegant.

Another problem I have with people's "negotiating" is the inconvenience to the person next to them. More than once at shops and shows I have stood there waiting for some goober to quit bickering over a 10 dollar bill so that I could buy something. If others want to haggle, fine, but it's rude and ridiculous to make another person who will pay the sticker price wait. I know I PO'd a guy off royally at a show back when the I24 expo center held them. I spied a No4 enfield for a steal at $145. I waited for I know, 15 minutes while the poor guy tried to deal with a guy bickering over the price (I can't remember how much) I finally just raised my voice and said "Here's a hundred and forty five for this 303, cool?" (it was a private sale so no paper work) The guy who had been haggling spoke up "Excuse me, but we were talking." To which I responded "You're right and I'm sorry, but I don't plan to waste an hour letting a dime hold up a dollar. I just want to pay the man and get on with my business." The guy behind the table took my money, shook my hand and smiled. I didn't turn around but I could smell the smoke coming out of the other guy's ears. Haggle if you like, I would be wrong to tell someone else they have no right to do so. BUT, don't expect others to give a crap about it, and PLEASE have the common courtesy not to inconvenience others by making them wait needlessly.

No that was disproved years ago due to a lack of intelligence.

It was a joke, and not remotely blasphemous. Ease up and have a laugh. I will tell anyone, GOD is very real, and he has a great sense of humor. Did you know the Three Wise Men drove a Honda and smelled like smoke? Well, they were coming from a "far" and they were all in one "accord".

Al Gore invented theory.

Oh yeah, sunday is my only day for the most part.

Abso-friggin-lutely. People want a discount from us but Middle Tn Electric doesn't cut me a discount on a $400 light bill.

Next they'll be producing AK-46's.

So, obviously not this weekend, but who's up for next weekend?

I think it's an amazing deal right now and would love to get it, but obviously he reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

Manufacturing: FAL Builds

High five!!!! People try that mess with me every stinking day. Makes me sick. "Well, what's your best cash price?" - ALL my prices are cash prices, I don't take plastic. "Well could you do it for (insert price)?" - I tell them I COULD do it for free, but I'm not. Or my personal favorite; Mexicans that speak broken english are bad about using the phrase "I giva yoo (insert amount) american dollars." I tell them "If you buy it, I know you're going to give me american dollars, I don't take pesos, and the price is still the same." I'm not rude off the bat, but some idiots really push their luck, bickering like an Arab at a bazaar.

Amen to that!

It's a handgun carry permit right of passage to carry your weapon in Wal-Mart. Don't ask me why.

They can do far worse. I'm not sure the average american really understands what they are capable of.

:up:I'm diggin' your signature Phoenix.

Good luck making him pay it. If he pays it, it'll be because he decides to. The law means nothing, you don't tell billionaires what to do. I mean, imagine making these people mad enough to pack up EVERYTHING and set up shop in china. China would love to have them and the US would looking worse than it is. Reality aside, that's pretty sad. He has net worth of more than many country's GDP. Like he can't afford it.

If you do something you love doing, you'll never work a day in your life. Don't slow down.

There was a guy who came in the shop one day and saw me cleaning one of my AR's. He said "I don't know why anyone would want one of those, they're not accurate and very weak." I said Huh? He said "The bullets tumble and that's why you can't hit anything. The bullet in a rifle is supposed to spin, those tumble and flip through the air and that's why they aren't accurate." I said sure thing buddy. You don't ever want to engage in a war of wits with an unarmed man so I just let it go. I get people like that all the time. Not necessarily gun related but I put a set of tires on a lady's car and swear to God she said to me "Okay, now do I need to go put some air in them or did you already put air in them." Or my favorite, a guy came in with a 15 inch wheel and a 14 inch tire. Says to me, "Put this tire on this wheel." I said I can't it's a 14, you got a 15 inch wheel. He says "Oh I don't care, I'm just using it for a spare, put it on there."

To sleep.

Read my second signature, replace bear with zombie, and reassess your offer.

Ouch! You stepped on my toe.
