I guess if there is anything anti-trump in there, it is going way over my head. The presidential masks seem to be from every party and ideology. But I must be missing something somewhere because the lyrics and the video don't really seem to have anything to do with each other.

What on earth are you talking about? I think you are really losing it! Really, to just blurt out this nonsense that has nothing to do with anything in this thread really seems weird, to put it mildly. Is there some kind of medication that you been skipping or is that disjointed mindless raving just the way your mind is working these days?

What? ...... After I gave you such a wonderful compliment, you start calling me names......lol.

I'll have to keep my eyes open for some. I love just about all berries.

Now here is a real "strange rack". My unicorn.

I have never had a mulberry. Do they sell them in the grocery stores?

I wonder what kind of owl that is. It looks kind of small. Nice of him to stop in for a pose for your camera.

It's amazing how much irresponsible behavior there is that can be justified in the name of Jesus. Or at least, so some think. I may be doing it all wrong, but making demands on God to take care of my irresponsible acts is not quite the way religion plays into my life.

Just another tip from our resident deer hunting expert.

So how do these gun manufacturers let people know when there is a recall? Do they contact the individual purchasers, or just hope that word-of-mouth gets to enough people. I mean, some of these recalls that I have kind of blundered into have to do with potential life endangering design flaws. With all the stinking gun purchase records that are kept, you would hope that they could tap into them somehow and give people a heads up that they are shooting a ticking time-bomb.

Yeah, there are lot of guys that are looking so hard for the easy way to get deer that they don't even hear (or want to) hear those that try to bring them back to reality. They see this new wonder-weapon on the market that carries all kinds of manufacturer's speed and performance claims, and envision it as an alternative to a gun, that now gives them access to bow season. I suppose after a few wounded deer they will learn for themselves that nothing is like a gun except a gun..

OK.....Now I get it. But being the site's official cheapskate, I think I'll use my memory sticks for periodic back-up.....lol. But at least I can see what people are using external sites for. It does make sense.

Ha ha ... and there is no doubt that in your mind you honestly believe all of that.

What is the purpose of Photobucket as opposed to simply posting out of your own computer hard-drive? I know there must be some obvious benefit or they wouldn't be in business, but it hasn't occurred to me yet.

And, I have no doubt that we will see similar cases of over-confidence and misunderstanding of a weapon's limits in the new rush to crossbows. The best way to get into a primitive weapons season is to be honest with yourself about personal limitations and the physical limitations of these weapons of hunting challenge. If you can't do that, then you have no business participating. I am a believer that the more primitive the weapon, the more attention that has to be spent understanding the limitations. When you don't do that, you cannot blame the weapon, but rather have to look at the hunter and his motives, impatience, and expectations as well as his willingness to spend the time to master and fully understand his weapon of choice. And all of that does not assume that gun hunters do not have the same problems of unwillingness to understand their own limitations and needs for practice and familiarization. It all speaks more about the hunter than it does about the weapon.

Ha-ha..... did I upset you with my comment in the other thread, Bunkie? I'm just having a little fun with you. Don't be so serious.....lol.

Look, I understand that I am not going to change your personality. You have a pathological need to constantly boast about what you perceive in your own mind as your "hunting perfection" (to the point of being obnoxious), and I nor anyone else will ever change that trait. So just forget I even brought it up.

I always wondered what it would be like to turn my favorite pastime into my sole resource for putting food on the table and a roof overhead. Would it begin to lose it's luster. would it become a "job". It would be interesting to ask some of these TV hunter-heroes that so often run afoul of the law, if the pressures of having to produce didn't drive them to break laws and bend rules. Does it change the activity and sour some of what the original attraction was. I don't know. I've never tried it, but it does make me curious when you turn something that you did because you enjoyed it into something you do because you have to.

All right!!! Now you're talking. There's a market out there for those kinds of racks. We need to get busy and capitalize on the trophy antler craze. I have an alternative to those crazy expensive trophy prices that they charge at the Canned Hunt Trophy Deer Ranch.

Oh I have no problem with what you are saying except that when you join in with those animal right wackos that openly avowed their intension to consider bowhunting to be their number one target in their anti-hunting campaign. Apparently that point flew over your head because of my attempt at sarcasm. But I will say that when you start peddling that line about "my weapon is more humane than yours", you had better be ready for someone to take that all the way looking to ban anything that is not the most efficient and modern and deadly on the market. Your crossbow is less humane than a scoped rifle in terms of capabilities, so why not walk the walk and hold off for the most fool-proof weapon. You either believe in it or you don't. I see you struggling to justify your partial commitment to your principle with the "gee, my family will starve to death if I only use a rifle" argument, but no matter how you spin it, it still smacks of hypocrisy to me.

Yeah, I know. You are one of those brilliant hunters that are in that elite few. I know it's true because I have heard you say it so many times....lol. Hey look, it's alright. Whatever gets you through the day. If self-aggrandizement floats your boat, that's alright. After all, if you don't toot your own horn obnoxiously to the point where it's sickening, who in world will ever do it for you. Some people get all disgusted and repulsed with a braggadocios personality that is always telling people how great they are whether anyone wants to hear it or not. Imagine that!

Please turn on the sarcasm alert So, you think that as a parent you should be allowed to choose your kids diet? Didn't you know that raising kids is the government's business. Haven't you heard that "it takes a village to raise a kid"? Well, the village is what they call the government agencies now. Come on, you know where this country is heading. How dare you try to stand in the way?

This thread puts me in mind of a great money-making opportunity. How about artificial antlers that any taxidermist can put on your buck (or doe)? There would be no need for expensive trips to any special out-of-state deer preserves. No exorbitant costs to grow fancy special custom manufactured deer. You can tell all your friends that you really did shoot the deer yourself and be telling the truth. With the materials they have available today for antler repair, it would be no trick at all to construct a full set of antlers as ridiculously huge as you wanted. Don't stop at a mere paltry 200" trophy. Fool all your friends, and become an instant hunter-hero in the neighborhood or hunting club. I can see it all now. A few hundred dollars plus the regular taxidermy fees, and you could have a trophy-of-a-lifetime proudly hanging on the wall for all to admire. It really is no different than going to the special deer preserve and getting set up with their version of trophy harvests except that you could do it on your favorite hunting grounds for a fraction of the cost and let the taxidermist do the real work for you. What do ya think?

Please engage the sarcasm alert! Actually, that same philosophy would reach the perfect solution if hunting was mandated to be only with scoped rifles of a certain regulated caliber. If we want to keep wounding losses down to a minimum, it sounds like we should only be using the most efficient and successful modern weapon that is produced. The heck with archery, crossbows and black powder crap. Why follow that philosophy only part way?

Love the raised beds, but how do you till the soil every year? Is that all done by hand?
