Hey Torpedo

Again it's a debate about semantics I guess Miss Eagle, I found the picture to be quite offensive and quite horrendous being the animal lover that I am. However, I am not a raging card carrying member of PETA, I would fight for your right to hunt in whichever manner you choose, you want to hunt animals, fine by me. While true that the post was aimed at your brother if the thread would have said hunting pics I would not have opened it, but you quite well know we come into this forum and we usually open the most recent threads no matter who it's aimed at.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I only found it slightly offensive maybe 5 pushing 6, quite possibly about as offensive as you find some of the swear words that you remove from some of the posts that you reply too, you don't want to see them, I don't want to see that, in fact I learned a lesson when replying to posts quite awhile back and it was directly attributed to you, and I have tried to be less offensive when I type, and I also try to remember that I may be talking to people like you and Torp who are my children's age, but it's hard, I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and spent three years in the Navy and the past 20 working with just men, and I'm a natural smart as aleck but I'm working on it kid, I really am.

If this is the last we speak of it then Ok, and it was quite reasonable and maybe it's a tiny lesson for all of us.

Peace...Yes?

Photos of dead animals...








Could be worse...








Just think...








Might have been photos of live Englishmen...   

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like it still couldn't be offensive. I just meant that there are some pics that would really, really, really be offensive (ranking about a 10 on your scale - more probably, and more than likely, they max out the scale), and that they made sure not to post a picture like that. 
I, too, love animals.  Lots!  I love watching the wildlife that surrounds me - even just the little squirrels running around, hopping from tree to tree.  Before we moved to our current residence, we lived in a mobile home park.  We actually had a small patch of woods for a backyard and lots of wildlife - even deer.  We had some feeders out that we'd put corn in for them.  It was a lot of fun, especially since we were still in the cities.  The deer would let us get within 5 feet of them.  They wouldn't run away from us and they would even walk towards us a little.  It was so cool!  I really miss that. 
I also thank you so much for your efforts you put into your posts in regards of trying to keep them less offensive to those of us (Torp and me) who would find it so. 

Here's a pic of a ruffed grouse as a peace-offering.

Go do some work you lazy colonial.

 

Truer words were never posted.

Like always, your wit is dead on, but you miss the fundamental.

Ok, never mind.  I'm loose with my karma.

Unfortunately, right now;  the words "loose", and "chaps" don't even go together for me.

I started in this week on dialing it back.

Stroh's chaps are tight.   

Actually, I'm all a quiver.
