  1. We had an 8# Yorkie female (Angel) & a 4# male. (Chewy) They were "stuck" on the back of the coach when the kids got off the school bus. Poor Chewy got quite a ride, & NOT an enjoyable one at that!!
  2. I introduced a friend in S Indiana to deer hunting in 1982. Before he died he was stalking & killing bucks from the ground with self bows as well as arrows he made himself. I remember him telling me about a buck that got up out his bed so close to him he said, "I could see the fear in his eyes before he turned & ran".
  3. So, you're dodging the question pertaining to your allegation about Harry Reid?
  4. A transcript of the testimony at their trial was included on the grazing rights refusal by the BLM. Download the PDF & take the time to read it. The testimony transcript starts on page 5 & continues to page 14. https://www.google.c...5,d.dmo&cad=rja Take the time to read through the testimony that spells out the conduct of the Hammonds that endangered the lives of hunters & guides in the area they set ablaze.( A; pages 5-7) On yet another occasion they endangered the lives of fire fighters.(B; pages 7-14) Of particular interest are the threats made on August 24 2006 (page 14) to BLM officials where Steve Hammond threatened to blame BLM for setting the fires if BLM "didn't make the investigation go away".
  5. A little off subject, but I would like to have one nice bearskin rug. I wouldn't shoot a small bear, but after taking one nice one I would quit. As for deer, I've taken a few nice bucks for my area & was losing interest. I took an average one this year with an iron sighted Krag that belonged to my Dad. That has piqued my interest & now I want to hunt with it rather than my scope sighted tack drivers. If you kill a really big buck with a CF rifle & begin to lose interest. Build or buy yourself a nice flintlock rifle, learn how to load & shoot round balls accurately & ad some challenge. They're still legal during the regular season!
  6. How would you feel about all this if it was YOU that had a guided hunt spoiled by slobs herd shooting & wounding deer without following up then setting the brush on fire endangering you campsite & personal well being?
  7. Yes, why wouldn't I? But white or black they should go to prison & they will.
  8. Which is a serviced we provided. We also sold matched shafts to those that wanted to "roll their own".
  9. You do realize that the founding fathers were "progressives" right? The "conservatives" were loyal to King George.
  10. I would be willing to bet that IF the part about selling it to someone in congress is true, it is a "conservative"!
  11. That's my take on it. Did you see "The Last of the Mohicans" on the big screen? The sound alone gave me goosbumps!
  12. This is NOT double jeopardy, it is an appeal of the sentence, probably filed shortly after the sentence was handed down. The feds were well within their rights. Again; Here is the legal precedent on the matter. Absent a waiver, both the government and the defense have the right to appeal a sentence. Federal prosecutors generally must seek approval from "main Justice" — the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. — before appealing a ruling. That's so the feds don't make what they see as "bad law" by appealing "bad cases," and so the feds' legal stance remains relatively consistent across circuits. The Hammonds COULD have been sentenced 5 years for each offense served consecutively. Hmmmm maybe they knew they didn't have a leg to stand on & didn't want to risk a longer sentence. They were also threatened with a "less desirable" place of incarceration. The "state" has the option of choosing the place of incarceration I believe. These guys are criminals. Their own blood incriminated them and they endangered hunters & guides that were on the land.
  13. Since it's a Federal matter, no. Ruby Ridge has given the feds some reason to proceed with caution, rightfully so. As far as the botched siege at WACO I think they know that when dealing with someone that is delusional it is not a good ideal to fulfill any martyr syndrome if present.. If it had been under the jurisdiction of some local governments with criminals & thugs in a "militarized" police department, yes, the outcome would have been swift & bloody.
  14. Having grown up in the Pittsburgh and (suburban) Chicago area, I "learned" about the labor movemen.
  15. You missed the whole point. (as usual) White, black, christian, Muslim shouldn't matter but it sure seems to. .Being accused of "playing the race card" when discrimination is obvious is like calling someone that points someone out for poaching an anti-hunter. Here is the legal precedent on the matter. Absent a waiver, both the government and the defense have the right to appeal a sentence. Federal prosecutors generally must seek approval from "main Justice" — the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. — before appealing a ruling. That's so the feds don't make what they see as "bad law" by appealing "bad cases," and so the feds' legal stance remains relatively consistent across circuits. The Hammonds were allowed, as they should be, to remain free during the appeal. The government won the appeal so they were returned to jail to serve out their sentences. For one thing, given what the Hammonds did according to the testimony, 5 years is a rather light sentence. Anything less would be little more than a slap on the wrist. If you can't do the crime don't do the time
  16. I was a member of several unions and my wife is a teacher. What's your point?
  17. It amazes me how modern day hunters are brainwashed by the right, primarily the carbon fuel industry, to act against their own best interests. We should be working WITH conservationists & environmentalists toward a common goal that benefits us all.
