Yes Ted, my priority for the last 6 years has been to get my son thru college w/the least amount of hassle for him as possible. I wanted him to be able to concentrate on his studies. So, if that's not a priority to you guys then I'm sorry...it was important to me. For the people that have done it...it ain't cheap and will tax even the best of marriages. Sorry I have such a flawed value system to some of you guys. powdr

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

It is one of my priorities and I work extra hours and save money each year with one sole purpose....hunting License and lease $$ over buying any rifles Heck.....I even went as far as taking out a 60 month 15k loan in 2013 to do a 2 week Plains Game Safari in the Eastern Cape of South Africa Crazy? Maybe but I made it happen....but I'm not retired either

But, it still comes down to priorities. Were you forced to retire? You retired and did not account for the cost of paying for the type of lease you want. You give folks crap for living where public accessible land and cheap tags are available. As GregW pointed out, you could live there too! Again priorities. Where I live tags are cheap, the public land hunting marginal, and leases tough to come by. So, I have a mortgage on a place that I can hunt. Not a big place, but I won't be having to ask your type of favors when I retire. All the while putting two young kids through private schools. Again priorities. The real reason you are lashing out a bit at folks is that you regret a bit your decisions. Couple that will a touch of jealousy for your perception of things being "better" for other folks. I catch myself doing that a bit on forums as well. But, it really does come down to priorities...

Is Dr. Phil in the house? No, but there are more than a few with a Dr Phil associate degree.

Yeah, leave it to guys like Skane who can hunt for the cost of a tag to get his peter all bent out of shape. He's still mad cause I didn't say thank you for a worn out sling he sent me one time. God I wish I had his address so I could send the sum bitch back to him.
Peter = still straight, thank you.  Kudos to you on seeing your son through school - that's very much to be applauded. I fault NO ONE for trying to make due with what they've got. Life is about priorities and it appears you got #1 squared away. The free slings you received without the common courtesy of receipt acknowledgement or mere thank-you simply reveals character (or lack thereof). Or perhaps it's your gray matter upstairs - if the latter, please accept my sincerest apologies. Your OP is not the first time you've played the lack-of-cash card to get something. Anyone that wants to do the work will find those instances. So, call me a skeptic, but I was getting nasty PM's years ago already from one or two members regarding the guy from Walla Walla and his not passing my sniff test. Funny how that szchit worked out. Tis not my nature to be abrasive or vindictive, I just refuse to suffer fools.

SKANE, I HAVE GIVEN AWAY MORE STUFF THAN MOST PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT HERE. Sometimes people want to reciprocate. It's just a few fellows that think they don't need anybody to survive. I've made a lot of friends buying, trading and selling to other people. You say you don't suffer fools but yet you act like one. Let's just let it die and you go your way and I'll go mine. powdr

Works for me. You say you don't suffer fools but yet you act like one. Just for the record - the PM's I mentioned regarding safariman said the exact same thing as quoted above. Funny, none of those guys ever came back around for a slice of crow.

GREG, I'm in central Texas about 40 miles west of Waco and 40 miiles NW of Lampasas. powdr I wish I could help you. My Mother grew up on a 1000 acre peanut farm close to you just north of Richland Springs that was settled by her family in the 1860s. Alas, my grandparents sold it in 86.  . I ate a lot of venison and turkey's that came off it but I never got to hunt it.

SKane, He did the same thing to me. Back when there was a run on 308 cartridges, he put out an add on the classifieds begging for some. I sent him a flat rate box full. Never even got an acknowledgement, let alone a thank you. Playing the sympathy card can work in the short term, but it won't in the long term.
