Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ten Years

Hey...back on page 4 you were shooting grouse in the men's room .....now.....how you plan to outdo that down in swampland?

they have canals down in floridey to drain the wetlands to allow residential construction.

draining forestland to allow the planting of forests is no longer allowed.

what florida needs is more people, more tax-payers, more traffic.

If I live there it will be private schools. I understand it has rough parts.

You Cuban fugk.

Wait and see, ass hat. Just wait and see.

as the lone eagles go, why does one have to actually "live" anywhere in this day and age?

i mean, we've got computers, the internet, rapid fire communications all over the place thanks to technology.

Gus,

If you could confine your babbling, drug induced, bullschit to your own threads that would be fantastic.



Thanks,
Dave

ouch! that was a thorn in my side, and i felt it. so, lone eagles need to fly close to a food source. i understand that my friend. and i do hope the best for you and your clan.

on this forum, mine and your threads seems to be intermingled, at least to a degree?

i wish you the best. and best regards.

Whats the boat plan? You ain't got a hair on your ass if you don't have a boat plan.

NuCanoe will rock a lot of the canals and shallows. Gonna need a decent sized bay boat though. I'd look in the 22-24' range. Lots of boats in that range draft plenty shallow and will still get you out a bit on nice days.

I'll be buying a flats style in the 20+ range. Used market looks pretty good down there based on what I've looked at.

I could live part time in the panhandle or Alabama gulf coast and spend my days fishing.

I'm reasonably sure that you won't be bored and look forward to pictures of your new adventures.

Are the kids (and wife) excited for the move?

Best of luck with the move. I've lived in the South and often want to move back. Matter of fact I just rented a place in NC a couple weeks ago and backed out on it. I couldn't take the summer heat when I was there and I don't have any reason to believe anything has changed.

North Carolina thanks you. Grins.

Choot’em ‘Ravis! Choot’em!!!

Why would that be? I lived there before and didn't have any trouble?

Travis already knows this, so this PSA is for any High Liners that visit him in his new digs.

Gators live in every fresh body of water in FL bigger than a ditch. Gators are not really dangerous, but there are some things you don't do around them. This will seem self evident to many, but every year someone from up north makes these mistakes, and pays the price.

Don't let your small kids or dogs play in the edge of the water, especially at dusk and dawn. Don't swim with Bull Gators during the rut. If you play golf, don't stick your hand in the water without taking a good look.

When swimming w/ bull gators during the rut is the prime risk getting raped, eaten or both. Never mind, there is no good option.

Hell with that!

Re: Schools.... i dunno how much choice there was in BFE Montana where you was.

Not every public school in the ‘burbs will suck. The best general predictor of the decency of a student body is how much money their parents make, as in if you are still poor in America after a couple of generations you prob’ly suck at parenting too. I assume you ain’t renting a house in tha ‘hood. Public elementary schools tend to be smaller and local, reflecting the neighborhoods they serve. After you have a sense of your neighbors, ask the ones with kids what they think of that school.

The most spendy private school in San Antonio is Keystone, prob’ly about $15,000 per year per kid, elementary, middle and high school. Class size about 15 students per teacher or less. Most of them kids are decent, some snotty rich kids with snotty rich kid problems, but for the most part the college-bound kids of successful professional parents.

I dunno tho that Keystone High kids do any better academically or in life than the kids at Health Careers High School, a magnet public school campus on the upscale north side of this city, certainly they are neck and neck in any academic contest ya can measure. Health Careers is competitive to get in and most of those kids have successful professional parents too. The biggest difference is the Health Careers parents have an extra $60,000 dollars to take their kids to Botswana on a safari when they graduate.

On the poor side of town the Young Women’s Leadership Academy is a rising star on the local academic scene. Again a public magnet high school that is very competitive to get into. Some of them kids are accomplishing great things. Some of their kids bested even Keystone kids recently.

If I were gonna send any kid to private school it would be middle school, the attitudes they bring out of middle school seem to stay with em for life. But beware, a private school can suck too.

Mostly, wherever a kid goes, it’s all on the parents, you wanna contact your kid’s teachers so often they find you a PITA, that’s your job as a parent.
