Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Idaho rancher killed by deputies over a wounded bull.

I'm a big fan of objectivity.

My Dad was smaller than I.

Legion of Merit,....no casualties, fighting ships across both oceans, in WW2

I wasn't raised in an environment where physical size, race, or religious creed held a lot of sway.

I'll tell ya' what,...I don't own a "scale",...whatever's here right now, ....the stringy and fit frame carrying my mind and soul around , can probably work,think, or fight your sorry azz into the ground,....drunk, sober, or in any intermediate condition.

Balls in your court, Miss Hedda,...what else of a juicy nature do you have for the fruity / gay side of the fire this evening?

THAT means that you don't have to respond to this post.

PM some buddies and gossip, it suits ya'

That's two questions answered.

Thanks, bitch.

Well hells bells, my .02 for the parade if anyone is interested.

What happened up there in Idaho has the appearance of malfeasance in the extreme, but it's just that at the moment, appearance. He said, she said means bupkis. Forensics will be done, statements analyzed and the legal system will do what it always does for the most part.

Thinking that given the circumstances it might serve all to kick back, move on and wait for the coroner's report or maybe a read by the Grand Jury. Until then all y'all need to take a break. Pokin' folks in the eyes with sharp sticks serves no benefit.

Looking at a circumstance where by all accounts one of the community pillars was put to death w/o good cause. That's enough grief.

Oh good another internet "I can kick your ass" thread! I LOVE those! Will styxhunter be invited to battle the winner?

In general, you get called a cop suck up, and someone infers your wife is a cow for having that outlook.

FWIW.... Two of the guys on my "I want to meet" bucket list are Greg and Bristoe. I even went to the Quemado gathering a couple years ago because Ken Howell and Greg were to be there.

Ken made it, but Greg had to back out at the last minute. I still have intentions in that direction.

For those of you who criticize or disparage Greg, I offer some Kipling:

......

......


and if sometimes our conduct ain't just what your fancy paints

well, single men in barracks don't grow into plaster saints."

The same can be said for Merchant Marines,etal.

Mean Gene,

We finally have common ground.

I would also love to stand in front of Ken Howell, Bristoe, and Crossfirewhateverthefugk, and ask them to express their opinions on a variety of subjects.

I'll wager two to one that the County, or other responsible entity pays out a settlement in excess of a million bucks to the widow.

As usual, bullets are the currency wagered.

I only make this offer to those who suggest the Widow may be lying about what happened.

Mr and Mrs Yantis seem to have made a good reputation for themselves in their chosen area.

I'm gonna go by it.

What a couple of suckups!

Definitely agree the A-Bristo-Cat.

I'd wager the same regarding Michael Brown's family.

I doubt you'll find them different than what they've posted here.

I know enough dull people. I like to meet interesting ones.

You're interesting.

I'll pass, but your point is taken.

The Idaho Deputies will answer to a White jury.

Officer Wilson would answer to a Black jury. Ain't no Lawyer gonna let THAT go to trial.

He weighs more than 100pounds
In probably ten or fifteen years at a number of ocasions at his house i have never seen him drunk.
I am sure i will be acused of bootlicking, not true at all.
I have got ticked at him a few times. So what.
He is a multitalented guy that does a lot of things most couldn't even begin to do.
From only what i have read on here, if he had ocasion to light somebody up, i would have to think there was reason.
And i would want witnesses to it, that i knew.
Funny, i know most of the people that have been to his home for some of these gettogethers, and i have never heard a word of it. Could not have been too important.

In person, I'd just be the guy standing around the fire having a drink and laughing at the antics going on. I might add a little bit every now and then, but I'm not an overly outgoing person.

Seems as though my eyewitness account may be disputed by another.

Odd.



Travis

Don't talk as much in-person as you do online?



Travis

I guess it depends.

In a social gathering I wouldn't be nearly as inclined to discuss politics. Political discussions are better in "other than social" gatherings.

On the other hand,...if the topic swung around to getting crabs from a barmaid during ones youthful encounters, I might feel compelled to give an account of my experiences on the matter.

The darker side of my nature would kinda' RELISH having you look me in the eye, on my ground and call me a bitch,...you pathetic LITTLE grandstanding punk.

TN isn't to much of a ride. Hell, I'd wager a bottle of your choice that Joel would pick you up......
