well, it would probably be much, much better if I sat and nitpicked it for a while.

I wouldn't have said this earlier but I had been trying to write a book on some of our calmer posts, but now that I am back in the " hood hood" I try not to take my eyes off the road.

yeah, I probably had 200+ hours into the whole shebang if you include the time to set, check, drag home, skin, flesh, scrape, tan, soften, cut, ect....

plus the value of the pelts

one I used for the back (so it wouldn't have any seams) squared over 73" and would have brought in the area of $150-200+

I will say (god someone is going to find this offensive) that the extracting of the brains was made easier by the fact that I clubbed rather than shooting and all the skulls had already been.. um..... tenderized.

I always assumed your nick meant you liked to hunt great whites. I hear they taste like greasy chicken. Course I've never figured out how a four legged animal could possibly taste like a yard bird but to each his own. My dad used to try to convince us possum, turtle, squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, cat, dog, and rat all tasted like chicken.

I finally told him he must have been around some skanky chickens after the possum. I also told him I'd rather eat s*** than another possum. I still bear the consequences of that bit of disrespect .

Never thought anything about the name, just knew you were a hunter though.

I'll miss the sig line. I was hoping to have the 1600 yards next to yours.

To be honest... i always just thought you liked hunting... and were a bit more of a gun freak than i would have admitted to.

i could just see you holed up in a bunker with the ATF and the FBI trying to get in..
not a thing wrong with that... a man's home is his fortress.


sorry that i was wrong

this was not an attempt to be insulting

on the bright side look how far you have come since those early days.

Actually, you were dead on.

I have come a long time since then.

Nowadays I would have probably killed at least 3 of them.

Damn inferiority complex + insecurity is a bitch ain't it?


but in all seriousness, I have made huge leaps and bounds in the last 10 years.
I've gone from fighting at the drop of a hat and not being able to have even the most basic friendship to rarely having a harsh word (or rarely saying it anyway).
I've been working on being the silent type for a while with moderate progress.

Seems people often think the silent sort wise, but they have most likely remained silent because they could think of nothing to say.

I think the silent type usually have the most to say but understand the futility in saying it and know that actions speak louder than words anyway.

As for as the gratewhitehunter thing, I've known for a while that you are of American Indian blood (how much I don't know) and figured you have reasons as all do for feeling the way you do and saying what you say ----. That anger thing can be a corrupting thing but has its purpose and can be affective in moving your ass when it needs be. Reaching some balance can be a difficult thing --- I try everyday and wish you good luck in finding yours GW (if you haven't already )

*standing ovation*

I'm one of those silent types. I typically don't agree with a lot of the crap that goes on around me, but I keep it to myself simply because it won't make anything better. Hell, it might make it worse, you never know.

My only problem is I can't shave if I've got something bottled up. Even the amazing relaxation of shaving doesn't help

Right on.

But for the name thing... never thought twice about it.

A nick is just a nick. It may have a story or it may just sound cool.

JAEGERHUND: No story behind that "nick" ---- I knew jaeger was hunter in German and Hund is dog so I just put them together: Hunterdog I suppose --- I really don't know what it means in German ---Hunting Dog? --- I don't even know if it's a real German word but I liked the sound of it. I just imagine a fierce attacking wolf beast ---
