Amen. Some folks (like me ) of course do make an occasional typo, but in most cases the misspellings I posted are consistent, i.e. not a one-time deal. Here's a bunch more, but I don't have time to provide the definitions. Maybe someone else will. I aded the carwreck spillin in kontex where appropiated. -TONY hunny holes - honey deadlock haired - dread lock deferences -differences Supper Bowl - Super underwatter/watter/wattering - water, etc. restrections -restrictions inforce -enforce envolve - involve envestagate - investigate exested - existed antelers - antlers tones - tons servey - survey beems - beams complane/complaning - complain/ing fue - few allready - already kidden - kidding Cows - Coues sundurn't - sunburned beutifull - beautiful neaded - needed brodside - broadside coroperative - cooperative tomaro - tomorrow Ballsitic - ballistic allot - a lot virsions - versions fynny - funny busey - busy realy - really mallings - maulings glair - glare pitchers/pitchure - picture(s) tipical - typical bords -boards doesens - dozens

And then there are "watter wholes," which are different than watter halves or watter thirds. And what about "photoes" -- from the Dan Quayle School of Spelling. And then there are "waist" & "waisted," used interchangeably to describe a beer gut or the non-use of something. And what about "Teusday" -- a day named after the Greek god, Teus. And then there's "additude," the opposite of subtractitude. And what about "cross breads" -- loaves that are a mix of white, rye and whole wheat. And then there's "sculls," used interchangeably to describe those little shallow watercraft or what's left of a critter once you cut the head off. And then there's "posison," a cross between a deadly substance and a person's location. And what about "thoes," often used to describe the digits on one's feet or to indicate more than one "this" or the opposite of "these." And then there's "steal," used interchangeably to describe what some people do to trail cams or that hard metal made from iron ore. And what about "pritty," often used to describe someone who is a "prit." And then there's "amo," used interchangeably to describe the Latin verb "to love" or as a short version of ammunition.

Of course I do. I have them back to the early 1980s in digital form. They are all separated in folders by publication under one main ARTICLES folder in the MY DOCUMENTS one. Then I have that ARTICLES folder backed up daily on two other HDs -- one internal and one external. Same goes for all my digital pix (that's the plural of pic! ). So if I want to find an article on a particular name, I can readily do a search of the ARTICLES folder. -TONY

And let's not forget "dear" as either a term of endearment or a four-legged ungulate as in white-tailed, mule or black-tailed deer. And then several weeks ago, an illegal "Canadian goose" showed up here without a green card. -TONY

And about 98% of the photos I posted are hosted on my own COX sites. That said, I wonder how many folks here know that they can actually store up to 10MB per email address with Cox without having to actually create a web site or have the email address active. I have 7 of them, thus can store 70MB of images. -TONY

DB, This is what the original looked like before stick & stone removal and other adjustments with PS. -TONY

I feed them doggie treats. Photoshop does really well at removing support sticks and stones. -TONY

The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline, it will go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will go to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, if we purchase a good car it will go to Japan, if we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan. None of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy hookers and beer, since these are the only useful products still produced in the US.

Allen, I recognized Nygaard's name when I read your message. A search did produce an article I wrote on him, BUT...it was on his Unit 1 bull that he killed with Duwane in 2005. -TONY

A couple more. -TONY Duwane Adams and I with my Mex. Coues. Jim Varney (Ernest) and I with my Alabama whitetail. I have lots of 35MM slides of me with various game critters but just haven't scanned many. Here are a couple VERY OLD scans of slides from the 1990s. The quality sucks. Osceola turkey -- Florida AZ elk NM 'lope

Okay, after a couple PMs from newer members asking where they could see some of my pix, I decided to post some here since they are scattered about elsewhere in a few threads. Enjoy. -TONY Last year's CO 'management' mule deer: BC bears: VERY old photo scan of my best Kaibab buck: Randy Epperson (Dogman) with my lion: 2003 Hunt in South Africa: 2004 hunt in New Zealand:

Matt, My problem with elk has been two-fold. Over the first two decades I hunted them I was never concerned about trophy quality. I killed smaller bulls in AZ, CO, NM and ID, but only two were 5x5 or better, with the biggest a 5x6 that might have scored 300 or so. Then when getting a permit here eventually meant saying a lot of prayers, I finally drew for the 22N late season. On opening morning, however, I was too sick to go out and hunt, So I never got out of bed and stayed that way for two days. On the 3rd morning, I decided to reluctantly venture forth and shoot the first bull I might spot. That too was a smallish 5x6 with a couple broken tines. The next day I went to the doc, and he told me I had pneumonia. I've killed several exotic sheep, and it can be fun under the right circumstances if it isn't a shooting-fish-in-barrel thing. Take it for what it is and enjoy the trip. -TONY

Matt, The ones that make me jealous are the sheep and BIG elk pix. I have yet to hunt sheep, and of the 14 elk I've killed, none met my criteria to become a wall hanger. So I'm still hoping for a sheep permit and still looking for a BIG elk. As far as contributing to this thread, I'm guessing most members here have already seen many of my in-the-field pix I have already posted in other threads. -TONY

DB, I did a search and didn't find an article on that deer. Seems strange I would have missed a 195" buck, but I guess I did. Great buck, too. -TONY

Who dat be?? If it was a true hog, I probably wrote an article on it. -TONY

Some super trophies, folks! I'm jealous of many of them! -TONY

I did an article on Kirk's great buck for the Aug. issue of California Game & Fish magazine. Unfortunately, it isn't sold here in AZ; only the Rocky Mt. issue is. -TONY

Yuppers! -TONY

Some years are better than others. Looks as if that was one of the not-so-good ones. -TONY

I doubt that will ever happen, but even then...the survey is only as good as the info provided when it comes to both game and people management decisions. Those who lie on the cards do nothing for either and in fact can cause a detrimental impact on game when they claim they were unsuccessful yet killed. -TONY

Archery deer hunters who received a hunt permit-tag through the draw process are not required to call the toll free Archery Deer Harvest Reporting telephone number to report their deer kill. We encourage hunters to return the Hunter Survey they will receive in the mail. Unit 12A archery deer hunters are not required to check their deer for inspection at the Jacob Lake Checking Station. Seems pretty clear. The reason: since they KNOW someone drew a permit and where they hunted, they can mail out a survey card just as they do for the general hunts. -TONY

I bought the pulls online from some outfit in Oklahoma and the faucet set-up from one in OH. They wanted close to $800 for the latter locally. Now I'm sitting here chuckling a bit about your comment on the appliances. The stove in the one photo is a Maytag; it's more than 10 years old. Never a problem. The fridge in the photo below is an Amana; it's almost 15 yrs. old. The only repair has been the installation of two new icemakers in the fridge. Just goes to show the adage, "Everyone's mileage may vary" is quite true. -TONY

Ya... when you're getting pricing of $400 for all the door/drawer pull knobs in the kitchen alone... an $80 book is pretty minuscule. Buy my wife loves the drawer pulls and that's all that matters... Right? :D cmc I know the feeling. All the copper ones in our kitchen cost me about that when I did the remodel a couple years ago. That wasn't near as bad as the cost for the copper-plated kitchen faucet setup at $650! I'd hate to think what they would cost with the price of copper today. -TONY

I'm sure you'd be the hit of the rally -- that is if you got by the secret service dudes who talk into their wrists. -TONY
