I would like to know why when I prepare to use a quote from another member and I click on the quote tag it puts that persons quote up 2 or 3 times in the area I am preparing to post in. Can this issue be fixed or is it something I am doing wrong?  Thanks Bersaguy

Yea and there was a bunch of folks trying to sell survival books on how to survive a solar storm. Hope their was not a lot of folks that fell for it........................ :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

I have killed probably over 100 deer in my life because our ranch was full of them so getting one was not really a hunt but more and evening or morning walk through the woods. Well, I had not hunted in about 6 years during the time I was dedicating to my son after his accident and because I was never a trophy hunter I seldom took a big deer because smaller ones tasted better and we more tender so choice of 10 point or spike and I would shoot the spike. Anyway after my son passed away my youngest son asked me to go hunting with his down on his place.     I didn't think that much about it but since I had not spent much time with him because his brother required most of my time for 5 years I agreed to go just to spend some quality time with him. He kept talking about this 14 pointer he had wandering around on his place that he had been hunting for two years but could never get a good shot at him. We got in the woods early that morning and e put me up in a camo ladder stand and right behind the stand was about 10 Persimmon trees in full fruit and ground was covered. My son was about 350 yards away up in another stand and he was far enough away he could see me through binoculars and about good sunrise I saw a deer slowly approaching me through a thicket. As it got closer my son could also see it and it was the 14 pointer. He just knew I was gonna kill his big buck.       I watched as that old man eased up to with in about 25 yards and putting his nose in the air I new he scented me. He came about 10 yards closer and nosed the air again and then all at once he just looked up at me and we stared at each other for about a good minute or two. He moved even closer and was probably 25 feet from the tree when he stopped that last time and looked up at me. Then he preceded to go eat his fill of Persimmons and was joined by 3 does. After he ate his fill and he and his ladies left the same way they came it was getting close to mid morning when my son came over to meet up with me and walk back to the house. On the walk back my son said "Dad, I think you need to get new glasses," in a joking way. I said "why son, because you don't think I saw that 14 pointer walk under the stand and eat fruits". He said "why didn't you take him?" and I said "son you know I am not a trophy hunter and I know that you want that deer so he is still here waiting for you to bag him.".............. :up:          In all honesty I don't think I would have shot a spike that morning. I watched my oldest Son fight for life and every breath for 5 years and to take somethings life for sport and of course food I didn't know if I would ever be able to hunt again and to this day I have not. I'm sure if it came to food or starvation I could hunt and kill but that is what it would take. As for anyone else I say go for it and enjoy it as I did for many years. My son still does it when he can find time and if he bags one I always get some deer burger which is all I want from one. I can do a lot with burger. I use to have 4 or 5 folks that gave me deer burger and a few guys gave me whole deer if I paid for the processing which I would get the back strips and Tenderloins out and maybe 1 or two roasts and the rest burger. I don't get much deer meat any more these days.       Part of that is because a few of my old friends have quit hunting and others don't kill as many because you cannot find many folks processing deer anymore and if you do you can't afford them. I use to pay 50.00 to get one processed then it went to $60.00. Last year I had a guy give me a deer and I am glad it was a big deer and got is processed into Burger except for the Tenderloins and back Strip and it cost me $95.00. If it had been a small deer it would have ended up costing me more for deer burger the hamburger in stores. A lot of processors have either got to high for people to pay or shut down. I know a lot of guys now are taking their deer up to the mini nites and having deer summer sausage made and some have their make the deer jerky and when they get it home they vacuum seal the jerky............... :up: :up:

Well, I have 17 guns out floating in the air that were stolen from my home in a burglary back in 1988 and I reported the theft by filing a police report and gave the police a description of each weapon taken, and what the serial number is on each gun and were my initials were engraved in each of them where only a gunsmith would find them and they would have to be looking for them and I call the Sheriff's office once a month every month since 1988 and not one of them has shown up anyplace of been reported as found. I even offered a $2,500.00 reward no questions ask return of the Winchester Model 12 Pump gun that belonged to my dead son that they took and that didn't even bring it out. I don't think I will ever see any of them again but in my safe is a letter to the Sheriff of Cheatham county authorizing the release of any of the guns found to my youngest son in the event of my death. Sign and notarized and he will pass the back ground check because he also has an HCP along with his wife. I hope you get your gun back Rusty.......... :up: 

I could do so much with this but would be very hard to find the right words and still allow it to be posted so I will just leave it alone............ :whistle: :dirty:

Love the new avatar Ted.................... :up: :up:

Or both...........shove it where the sun don't shine and then pull the trigger...................jmho

I woke up this morning and have had another great day in Paradise doing almost nothing except cooking my critters supper and going for a walk around the yard with her. Came here a couple times so going to figure out what snacks I will have with my Friday evening Shows.................... :up:  :up: 

I agree LJ but the second arrest was never made clear as to a new victim or same victim and second charge which would look like a vendetta charge................jmho

Yea JAB, that is what some folks don't understand and that is only about 25% of the Waffle House restaurants are actually owned and operated by the company with 75% being franchise operated. Each franchise owner sets his own store policies as long as they stay close to Waffle House policies. The Local Waffle House here in town is not posted and the one out at I-40 and Hwy 109 is also not posted. I have CC'd in both of them many times. If I owned a restaurant of any kind all forms of Law Enforcement in uniform, out of uniform with just badge and ID and even out with family would eat free in my place. That would be the least I could do for those who lay their lives on the line everyday protecting my family , my business and my home. I don't know if that manager in Texas is in a franchise or company operation but either way he would be back fry cooking on the grill for a while if he is so stupid that he cannot recognized a field uniform and see a gold  badge next to the gun and then still tell the officer to leave after the officer proves he is a police office Texas State Trooper. That would mean he surely would not recognize a Texas Ranger as most of them look like cowboys...............jmho  

Well if you follow the reports and how things were being released from the initial arrest through Stephanie first defending him and then changing her story to add what he did to her and then the second arrest in another Parrish which I don't think they ever made that clear as to whether it was a new charge for a new victim or same victim people opinions are going to change. I don't doubt for a second he did something really bad. Whether the public ever finds it out, doubtful it will all be released which is totally understandable considering the case and under ages girls involved. I  can only hope and pray that if he is guilty he gets the maximum punishment allowed by law and also gets some Prison justice as well..................jmho

I use to eat at them often till they became a Gun Free Zone an have not been in one since and won't be going back. I am slowly developing a feeling of not going back to many places that go Gun Free unless they change their minds within 30 days of the error of their ways........................jmho

I watched it also and I think after listening to her I think she may have put the final nails in his coffin but one never knows in Louisiana what courts will do. I mean that judge hearing that case of that blade runner that shot his girlfriend found him not guilty today. The Prosecutors that case thought it was a slam dunk.  Will Hayden right up until his arrest had and probably still has a great many friends. I hope he is not able to get that $250,000.00 bond made of he will be a gone dude and I hope the bonding companies see that. Also I heard Stephanie say today she was scare to death of her father. That is something a child should never have to say about a parent. There is no doubt that if Will does make bond it would not be a good idea to be out in public. I think Stephs husband would kill him on sight...................jmho

Oh believe me David Koresh was a Physio and definitely needed to be dealt with. Like several others said. There was many much easier opportunities to take him down without killing innocent women and children. To me that was just totally reckless wantin of total disrespect for human life by the FBI. I remember it quite well and when the news medias were asking FBI agents prior to the all out assault what the charges were no two FBI agents gave the same answer on charges. I think I was wondering back then I thought at the time just how many charges did they really have and how many were being made up on the run. I just feel bad knowing that we have people in the FBI with zero accountability for loss of innocent lives like it is an every day occurrence.................jmho

Well I'm glad to know he is doing well and glad now that he knows that he is missed by so many and that may get him back on here sooner........... :up: :up:

Lets face reality. It has come down to a point that we as a free nation either live by the rules laid down by the Gestapo type Law Enforcement agencies of the Federal Government or they will kill you and everyone connected to you with little disregard to human lives of any age. Waco and Ruby Ridge are just a couple examples to let us know what they will do to any of us who does not live by Gestapo Rules. It was my understanding that the group of people in Waco never caused any issues with anyone in or around Waco and had it not been for the Government Gestapo's the people in Waco had no issues with the inpoundment or people living in it....................jmho

He will be missed and I can't remember the name of the movie but he was the hired gun for Jerry Reed and they drove around in a Cadillac El Dorado and Richard would be driving with his head and shoulders out the sun roof. It was a funny type movie. That  movie and the Longest Yard with Bert Reynolds  I remember him best in.

Make the call. I would be more than appreciative to know that I meant that much to friends I have met on line that missed me enough to be concerned..............jmho

Well, I started out just preparing for a home invasion type situation which seems would be the most likely scenario these days. Your possibly looking at 3 perps trying to come in and one get away driver. That is why Jack and I have the buzzers to each others homes. If one or the other has an issue help is only a buzz away and stopping three guys trying to kick my metal door and metal door frame in will give me plenty of time to stop them as soon as the door opens if it opens. Even as slow as our police response time is even they would arrive before they would get the door open unless they use explosives. I have a great relationship with my land lord and as long as I'm paying the bills he pretty much lets me modify my cottage as I want to as long as it looks nice.  If it is a riot and a gang then things will definitely get interesting and rules of engagement will be modified accordingly.....................jmho

Jack has one and I have one and his runs on diesel and mine runs on gas and we have back up fuels for both and even have set up to exhaust them out side through roof. I have had generators since back in my racing days for working on car in the pits after dark. Jack bought his about a month after he returned home from Iraq.

That is what I like about where I live. My neighbor directly in front of me is a retired former Special Forces Ranger served in Iraq and his house if fortified and has outside camera's with monitors inside. My house is made of Concrete Blocks all the way to the roof. I have security lighting that lights up my yards like a foot ball field and makes my targets easy to see at night. Jack up front and I have a plan and we do have a buzzer connected to each others house so if one needs help there is only a door separating my house from his and this is an L shaped triplex with me in the rear. He and I have been planning for a SHTF situation and they may get both of us but we ain't going quietly and there will be some dead along with us..............................jmho

I would worry more about going to war here on 9/11 anniversary than a riot according to this Sheriff in Texas but then I doubt he will be as tough as he talks if they show up on his door...............jmho     http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/09/09/texas-sheriffs-brutal-warning-to-the-islamic-state-should-send-a-chill-through-every-terrorist/

Before this is over it is going to turn out to be like the Tiger Woods Saga. Young women are going to be getting added to the list almost daily now and it will be up to the DA to discount all of the claims verse what is fact and who is just wanting to get their name in the paper and on the news. If the guy is a monster and described and they can get 1 or 2 Iron clad cases against him and get him put away with Big Bubba for ever I see no sense in wasting tax dollars trying him for all of the many more that will be jumping on the band wagon. When they convict him just say your guilty for all of your actions in these cases and any others and life without parole is your sentence and Bubba is waiting for you.........................jmho

Has anyone been thinking how coincidental it is that right after a new business becomes a Gun Free Zone that within a week or two the Gun Free Zone is tested with an armed robbery. It's almost like the criminals are thanking the business for making their lives safer and easier..................jmho
