Zebra,

Welcome to the Fire. Good post, I liked it, and you obviously got the point and intent of Mr. Coleman's remarks. I guess some did not.

Yes, many posts get hijacked, and we do get the occasional troll.

I mainly sit back and politely ask for someone to pass the popcorn!

If you read the thread and what is actually in print you will not find any negative comments by the undersigned about any of the people (BR Shooters) you have mentioned save one. The comment made about said individual was hasty and was a little on the harsh side and would probably have rephrased the comment if the humor meant by his comment was fully appreciated at the time. When you make the inference that people are somehow placed in a higher level worth according to the number of HOF points by me that is an incorrect assumption and we both know what happens when you assume. The other comments were just poking fun at a few of the ignorant who do not know any better and that can be fixed given time as not everyone has the good fortune to have the do what I do (a Lot of money and time go into this activity and we are not talking about building or buying guns but rather buying, maintaining, the equipment and materials required to bring the land and habitat goals to fruition). If I am one of the few who puts my money where my mouth then so be it. Some just want to pay their money and kill something----no law against that as long as they comply with the regulations.

Talk is cheap and some of my views are jaded by the lease hunters who hunt on the fence lines which I have no issue with as it is free range rules and high fence is nothing more than hunting at the zoo. I have had many cited for trespassing that I have caught and when you see fences cut so that game can be drug under the bottom wire it makes one a little calloused. So in short I see a side of hunting some do not.

As for any pent up frustration, that's called stress... you know, the resistance of the urge one feels to knock the living [bleep] out of those you really need it... particularly inbred, horse-theivin', Texican lowlifes...

Your village is still on the line, dipsh!t... why don't you get on back under that bridge you crawled out from under... so the swamp things can have their daddy/uncle/brother/play-toy back, and so your hometown can have just one more inbred idiot to round out the lot...

Dang, you rebel boys are brutal,lol. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hi guys, new to the forum and this is the first thread I have read...have enjoyed most of it. Do have a couple questions/things to say.

Are the threads routinely hijacked by people like the individual from Texas, who apparently is unable to engage in a gentlemenly disagreement without getting obnoxious?

As for Mr. Coleman's "lemming" comment, I think it was pretty close to spot on, and could identify with it. When I first got into accurate rifles, my main source of information was Precision Shooting. I chose a Hart barrel for my first (and second, and third, and...) "custom" rifle as that is what seemed to be winning the majority of the bench rest matches. In a couple of years, thanks in large part to Tony Boyer, Shilen seemed to be taking a large portion of hardware home. Strangely enough, at about this time, I ended up with a Shilen barrel. Of recently, I have noticed a number of Krieger's in the match results. I imagine Krieger presence in the BR game will continue to increase, and I will probably at some point end up with one. I don't think this shift is caused by Hart making a bad product, followed by Shilen, followed by etc. Someone has a hot shooting barrel or two made by company X, other people are going to try it, and if enough people try it, there's bound to be some winners. I'm seeing a lot of BAT actions popping up lately and winning. Same thing. Are they any better than Stolle's, Hall's, etc? I don't know...but they sure are pretty and I'd love to have one. PS used to, and still occasionaly does print equipment surveys/results from the BR game/SuperShoot, and it's interesting to watch the equipment trends. So I think the lemming analogy has a bit of merit. I'm one. Of course, Mr. Coleman, if you can come up with a different, but applicable analogy, that does not involve a rather stupid bird that throws itself off of cliffs and often plummets to it's death, it would do my already low self esteem a bit of good!

And Seely Masker's comment about the paddle wheel was hillarious! Now let's see...this Hall of Fame stuff. Seely had 4 BR Hall of Fame points. Speedy Gonzales has 13...making him smarter and better than Seely according to our Texas friends "Benchrest Hall of Fame Intellegence Quotient". But Seely built a few guns for Dr. Richard Maretzo, who has 14 points, 1 more than Speedy making the good doctor, smarter and better than Speedy. But wait...Smiley Hensley, who if I'm not mistaken shot Douglas barrels a couple years back, has 15 HOF points, making him smarter than all of the above. Alas, poor Mr. Coleman has 0 BRHOF points, and therefore does not know his arse from a #6 contour(Douglas) barrel, and is a total dumptruck as a gunsmith. But he is a gentleman, and can work on my guns anytime.

Now if you'll excuse me, this Kalifornia boy hears a Starbucks Non-fat Vanilla Latte calling my name.

Thanks,
Justin

So what I'm getting is BH is a Zoo Keeper,who operates behind high fences and feels threatened by those that do not.

To "justify" that,he lashes at the free ranging folk that Hunt less a safety net?!!?

And to frost the cake,the Zoo Keeper needs to put his money where his mouth is?!!?

One can only imagine where both the money and the mouth have been and how they aligned.

This,is good stuff...........................

His initials are DM, he works in the aeronautics field and, I believe, works for Lockheed-Martin. I don't disagree with his points on high-fence hunting but don't really agree, either. Most high fence ventures contain many hundreds or thousands acres and those animals are, for all intents and purposes, free ranging. Still hard to hunt.

They're no different than planting food plots to attract deer and we all do that....or put out feeders.

I was taught to not be rude to others. Seems not everybody was.

I could care less,what someone does with their fence,on their property.

I've no hidden fence agenda,which causes me uncontrollable Fence Envy,that compells me to touch another man's fence in a malicious manner.

I can't care that someone wishes to ride herd on his feeder,until one of his fenced Critters strolls by within range.

I'm just digging the convoluted rant,by the Fence Meister and the obvious insecurities harbored within the Zoo Keeper's melon.

Also digging the lack of firsthand experiences,the feeble attempt to name drop and the oral fixations of the fiscal nature.

I've no anti-Texan Agenda.

Fact is,the last one I met I handed my 338Ultra to,because he had broken his 7mm's synthetic injection stock.

Had never seen him before,saw he was in a pickle and handed him the rifle and a box of shells and sent him on his way.

He brought it back a week later and the Ultra had another dead bear under it's belt.

I believe his appreciation to have been genuine........................

i'd say boss hoss is, indeed, a teenaged ...




girl.
the exclamation points give her away. maybe college-age, but still on daddy's checking account. i figure the handle comes from the decal on her daddy's ford truck.
mercy, what a thread.

nope. not in my house.
i figure that started as an aggie joke, made the rounds as a tennessee joke, arkansas joke, west virginia joke, kentucky joke, blah, blah, blah, the usual appalachia-plus-texas circuit.
i stand by my exclamation point analysis. the proof is in the posts.
