I'm offended! Shemp was mentally handicapped!

Prepare yourself for the requisite pedantic, condescending reeducation message from our more enlightened Northern neighbors!

Was he really?

Regardless, Curly was the far superior actor and severely underrated in the entertainment world. Not Chevy Chase level but still top quality.
 
45/70 for DG?
Soft or solid for buff?
Camoflauge clothes or not?
Wood or synthetic stocks?
Conventional or synthetic motor oil?
Snow tires or all terrains?
Baked or deep fried potato chips?
Ketchup or mustard?
Shemp or Curly?
Curly. I'll die on that hill.
 
i'm waiting for the "Yo momma" to start....
Okay here we go! Let's lighten the mood!

A favorite from the movie White Men Can't Jump (kind of ironic isn't it?).

"Yeah, well yo momma's so fat that when she fell down and broke her leg, gravy poured out!"

Would it have been more appropriate if it was a Biden mask?
 
I like Eggs!!!

I don't care who you are or how careful you are, someone can find the tiniest speck about you or your picture to complain about. Look at what happens when a Kardashian or Brittney Spears post a picture. There are people examining every pixel to see if its been doctored or if it's even legitimate. I don't need to change my life or patterns to make sure someone I've never met isn't offended. I would much prefer {and have} changed someone's mind about hunting through a careful, thoughtful dialogue or just simply letting them see through me how hunting is the best conservation answer out there.

I like my eggs scrambled, or maybe eggs benedict depending on my mood.
 
"The wide range of anti-hunting laws varies so immensely, referencing all of them would be unimaginable, though some include prohibiting Sunday hunting, trapping bans, taxing firearms and ammunition further without a tie to conservation, modern sporting rifle bans, excessive discharge distances, and prohibiting hunting with crossbows, to name a few."

Just food for thought.

Have a great day. :D Cheers:
 
Well if facts matter…….
 
Typical tasteless bubba man cave. Didn't even need to see the overcooked Texas flag, on par with a "Fine Art Velvet Elvis" painting, on the facing wall to recognize location. Absolutely tone deaf.

And not just Texas either. Includes many zip code inhabitants who take pride in being sage outdoorsmen- Idaho, Montana and Alaska come to mind. Remember the ex-Idaho Game Commissioner in action. No need for an explanation or back story.

In my opinion, it is stylistically unacceptable to mix mock-ups and real trophies in one exhibition.
 
I'm late to this party!

I shot a match at the FTW, beautiful place. The drive into the ranch pushed me over the edge to move back to Texas.

As far as the rest of it goes. So many people will be offended by so many things in that room it would not matter if the hippo was in the photo or not. We are off the rails as a society, I don't see that changing anytime soon.

As far as pictures go, if you think pictures and post don't matter. You are wrong no matter which side of the fence you are on. I have read people make comments about other people with blurred out faces hiding...why yes they are. They potential have a lot to loose. We live in a time we our beliefs can cost people their careers, it's sad that it happens.

We all have freedom to post, we also might have to pay the tax for it at some point too.
 
Appreciate the distinction and don't miss your point.

The Black Mans head in an African trophy room is what drew my attention. As I also stated later, any human head in a trophy room would leave me wondering.
I once talked to a guy with the skull of a cannibal in his trophy room(I’m pretty sure he got it from an auction). He had some pretty incredible stuff in there.

Persentage is within average standard.
In Croatia, population is 3.7 million.

Total gun owners cca 102.000 (2.7% of gun owners in population)
Total licensed hunters cca 60.000 (1.6% hunters, in total population)
This is within average European numbers. For EU I Beleive it is between 1.5 and 2.5%.

In USA is somewhat surprising hunter percentage because of famous 2/a, and overall legally armed population numbers

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
