Perhaps there is a time when one should "suffer Triple Seven's gladly," but this isn't one of those times. When I read repugnant swill like this from a non-hunter, non-shooter, technically incompetent fellow that is the poster boy for "Planned Parenthood," and does nothing but cut and paste the writing of others on Al Gore's Internet-- it deserves something. What I would suggest is not physically possible for most, nor is it easily described in anything but indelicate language.
I'd rather ALL muzzleloading seasons were completely abolished across the nation than to suggest that flintlocks be banned for one Mexican minute. It is this type of intolerance and bewildering brand of tripe that gives hunters a bad name. No one that cares at all about the sport of muzzleloading would make such a suggestion. It was those that favor flintlocks and sidelocks that got themselves organized in the first place, and gave ALL of us special seasons for their efforts. They deserve everyone's respect and gratitude for that.
As for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: you made a very, very poor choice to awkwardly attempt to criticize. PA has one of the most active populations of hunters per capita in the entire nation, and the Pennsylvania Game Commision is a model game commission. They maintain public shooting ranges, youth mentoring programs, and on it goes. Just on Sept. 26, $11.7 million in new investments was announced by Governor Edward G. Rendell in conservation and recreation projects that are designed to help and protect natural resources. Not only does the PA Game Commission respond, so does the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Governor, and PA citizens. That $11.7 million came from voter-approved Growing Greener II, a voter-approved $625 million bond issue, and Keystone �93, a DCNR fund generated from a portion of the realty transfer tax.
Hunters Sharing the Harvest (HSH) is a venison donation program that has been channeling donated venison to local food banks and soup kitchens since 1991. Each year, HSH helps provide needy Pennsylvanians with 200,000 meals of quality, high-protein venison. PA is a model hunting state.
Right now, Oct. 14 - 21, is early muzzleloader season-- hunt with whatever action you want. Hunt with a crossbow, if you've got the permit.
Oct. 19-21 is a special early firearms saeson-- Juniors or seniors only, or Members of the US military. A great idea, more states should be so thoughtful.
And, yes, AFTER the regular firearms season of late Nov. early Dec., there is a flintlock season: Dec. 26 - Jan. 13th.
PA does a fabulous job trying to please everyone, and they come closer than most any other state I can think of. The state supports hunting for one and all, the voters do, and the entire population is more involved and supportive than most of the states.
In thanks for all this, an untalented, uniformed, bigoted blowhard that has never hunted outside his own state calls for a "ban" on flintlocks-- in PA. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play? The only comfort one can take away from your scatological insanity, is that the sweet knowledge that in the case of 49 out of 50 states-- you just don't live here.
Either you ran out of meds, or you are waiting for test results. Either way, you owe both PA and those that CHOOSE to hunt with flinters an apology. We need to respect other people's personal equipment choices, in the hopes that our personal choices can be respected and understood as well.
The biggest problem with you Mr. Wakeman is you inability to read posts properly.... then spend a half-hour of your valuable time typing incorrect words as a result of your incompetence.
When I create a post that says Pennsylvania discriminates -- I'm not lying. Yes... that open ML season in Pennsylvania includes Flintlocks. I'm asking that inlines also be included in two ML seasons there - or have an Inlines-only season where flintlocks are banned -- just like Pennsylvania bans inlines in the flintlock season. Why should Flintlocks be allowed all of Pennsylvania's ML seasons and Inlines not allowed?? My search is for equality. Your search in this thread seems to be about collecting money. I'll tell you why in a minute.
Here's another reason you can't you read/decipher posts properly?
Who is this non-hunter - non shooter you are hiding? I hunt all of Michigan's deer & small game hunting seasons. I've posted this plenty of times on the same boards you visit. I just choose not to bring along digital cameras & video equipment there. At the range, I do not carry chronographs. But I give plenty of reports on what I'm shooting - what I'm doing at ranges. I just don;t do it here at 24hr Campfire. My home messageboard base is elswhere. It's a place where you rarely visit -- probably because you cannot compete.
At ranges or in the hunting woods, I do use a a range finder. I know how much energy I need at the distances I shoot -- so no chrono is required. I get all my velocity/energy info from your wallet.... your chrono reports.... not mine.
Now you tell me goofball... who's wallet is really smarter?? I already know who's brain can define member posts better & the proof is in your reply to me above.
You got to your position only because you have a fat bank account from being a magician of trade. Without that bank account, you would be nothing in this business. Why?... because only a few years ago, you came crawling to the CVA board with very little knowledge of this sport -- begging every regular there thru personal phone calls on how to muzzleload with the big boys. Another piece of evidence is in the above quote to me. You either cannot decipher writings or you lie to save face.
Perfect example of your lies is how you condemmed smokeless muzzleloading when the Savage came out. I still get emails about that from former posters of that CVA Board. You also don't remember the days when you helped the same CVA owners that you now want to spit on after being banned from that board for not offering proof of your accusations on safwety concerns.
Thru all these years, I have remained the same with my ideals. You have been ALL OVER THE WORLD with yours. Why?... because you only follow the money trail of sponsors that call you. If they will give you a dollar, you will endorse their product.
You are one sick puppy Mr. Wakeman! How anyone can trust your words is way-beyond me. You believe something one year - then not the next. Then the year after, you believe in the product again.
You make me dizzy. If it weren't for newbies of this industry, you wouldn't be able to sell anything. We need to call you "SHOW ME THE MONEY RANDY".
One last thing.... You have been appearing at many/various ML boards recently - only because you are coming out with a product to sell shortly. Otherwise, you would be absent for long spells on many of these boards. That's why you are flooding all the ML messagebaords lately - after being away for the most part - for the past two years. Ol' Randy wants to fatten that bank account some more - but first he must show his face & spark some interest.
So Randy is here everyday now because he's about to ask you to empty your wallet - so he can tell you more ML lies - on your TV screen. So please everyone - spend $24.95 to get dizzy with Randy very-very soon.
Now excuse me while I go throw up!
