Flatlander

I have a boy who turns ten this year that we just found out is having surgery next month and will be working his way back to full strength during the deer hunts. Because of his size and the surgery we will need a minimal recoil solution. I went into Healy today looking to find a .223 youth model for him. After some conversation and explaining the situation they suggested an adjustable stock AR instead of a bolt gun. I told them I had an AR but it had a fixed front post that I didnt really want to swap out for scope mounting. After taking a look at it they found some cantilever mounts that gave him enough eye relief and worked with the post and mounted a scope I already owned. It would have been easy to just sell me the rifle I asked for and move on with things. However, they took the time to understand my needs and then found a solution that worked even though it wasn't necessarily the most profitable outcome for them. I have grown to really like these guys over the years and this is a good example of why. Thanks Mark, awesome crew you got down there, especially Alex who helped us out this AM.

Far from it. I think this is at least his third.

You are a machine. Well done!

I thought so, that's where hunting began.A man has an elk tag and takes a smaller bull at the end of the season to feed his family and some would criticize that? Bizarreness. My first bull was a spike, second was a rag horn. I was just happy my freezer was filled for a few years each time. Heck in my family a 315 bull is pretty respectable, but hey we only shoot stuff we have tags for so. . . I guess I have never considered whether I am a meat hunter or trophy hunter or anything else. I am just a hunter. Sometimes a bowhunter, sometimes rifle hunter, but never really been too worried about all that. And honestly I havent ever claimed to be great at it (for years I documented my archery javelina struggles of all things) I just like doing it, want to help my kids do it and enjoy the opportunities we get. I have shot dinks (I think I have even posted a buck under the title King of the Dinks), and shot some animals that to me were pretty big. But for the life of me I cant imagine why as I line up a shot I would wonder what all the guys on the internet were going to say about me. I have just never cared about that. I didnt think about that when I married my wife or when I bought that motorcycle either 😀 So maybe thats why I havent ever had the feds show up at my door either.

I also like motorcycles.

Um maybe you should take the time to read every post ! Making false accusations about my father is Dickish !Is he under investigation? If not, then yup its out of line. But if he is, well then, isnt this as much about him as anyone else?No my father is NOT under investigation ! So they didnt search his house or phone and he had no knowledge of how any of those bucks were taken?

My guess is you like big girls too ? Everyone knows mass is king.

He has brought family into it ! His family is fair game now ! If he would have left family out of it I would ! As for questions you all can kiss my a$$Its fine. Maybe next he can make fun of my handicapped son. He might be in a wheelchair soon, so I am sure there is plenty of material there to keep avoiding the questions. Is your dad involved in the investigation? Simple enough question. And I am not the one who brought your dad into this, the feds are.

Still wont answer the questions. Maybe you can answer this: Did the feds search your dads house? Did they take his phone? Did they take any animals from him? Just show us a reason to believe he isnt involved and I will gladly take it back.

You spelled justify the erosion and perversion of our conservation model to appease a bunch of hunting elitists wrong. I would take you more seriously if you ever contributed anything other than vague posting and propping up Pete. Please show me where you have produced one idea. Until then please stop criticizing others for not contributing.

Blah blah blah my family is a bunch of poachers blah blah blah we are a liars blah blah blah the woods and everything in it exist to facilitate what you want. Keep talking, please. Just admit you are a meat hunter and Ill congratulate you on that 295 bull ! I dont need your congratulations or one dam other thing from you. The fact that you think anyone on the face of this earth gives two squirts of diarrhea about your opinion shows how much like your brother you are, completely full of yourself. Just make it easy and answer the question I asked: Did your dad know that buck was poached? Maybe this is easier: Did Blake call you when he killed the buck? Did he send you any pics at the kill site? Were you with him? Was your dad? You can keep changing the subject, or you could tell us all why we shouldnt believe that buck was poached?

Details are not available right now as the investigation is ongoing. But for all you need to know see the posts by his brother nobull350. 1. Avoid addressing the topic at hand. 2. Justify actions by pointing out supposed misdeeds of others 3. Say that other peoples animals are smaller. This family cares about trophies and looking like famous hunters. The rules dont apply to them, can do no wrong etc.

Wouldnt travertine be slicker than greased snot when it gets wet?

Can you post links please? http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/72196-buck-officially-scored-200-08-gross-197-48-net/page-4?do=findComment&comment=795995

Bump

Pleasure meeting you

Its nice that you guys feel like Blake did you a solid so now you need to have his back, but that guy is a narcissist. Everything he did was simply to increase his "stature" in the eyes of others. In front of people he always wanted to look good, and the second no one was looking he had no morals. And then to top it off, he put that buck all over the internet, a national magazine (which gave him a $1,000 bow for it) and even registered it in P&Y. It was 100% about his ego. Game violations are notoriously difficult to prosecute so he may well get off. But I don't believe for even one second that any number of phone calls to the tip line would get 22 Federal law enforcement agents show up at his door. And if you think that you are kidding yourself. In the eyes of the law, he is innocent until proven guilty, I am not subject to the same constraints. I am also not required to get warrants, hold trials or listen to people spew non-sense in the name of their constitutional rights.

I measured our roofs with google earth. Id check the street view for the pitch then use the measuring tool. I was amazed how accurate they came out. I get that on a straight gabled roof. But if there are hips or other features seems like it would be dicey. I have like 5 different pitches in my roof.

Odds are you will lose what ever we bet ! What ya wanting to donate to me ? Odds are you will run away and hide rather than answer some pretty simple questions like a man.

Tell me the pros and cons of pavers vs pool deck?

Your dads a poacher and a liar, your brother is a poacher, liar and thief . . . How far from the tree did you fall?Hopefully that sheep is cleaner than that poached muley. My dad is a poacher ? You have no idea who my father is . Let me tell you a few things about my dad ! My parents have been married for 42 years . My father is one of the most amazing men on this planet ! They broke the mold with him . I have heard my dad cuss one time in his life and he said dang (is that even a cuss word ) ? My father is very active in his church and has has some of the highest calling there are . He is a school board member , fire board member and a well respected member of the community. So to say he is a poacher and a lair couldnt be farther from the truth ! O yeah another thing my father taught me was not to shoot a 300 bull on a 3c hunt . Just answer one question . . . did your dad know where Blake shot that buck?
