the urge to sh�t in everyone else's bowls of pudding. Dr. Howell, I have him on ignore and it bothers him. All people are not "trophy" hunters although I usually don't shoot one this small unless it has the screwed up racks that we have in this area. I do pass on lots of deer every year and have not been without deer meat in more years than I can recall. I am happy with my system and since it is all legal, so is the Arkansas Game and Fish commission. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

At least one Campfire fecalneuric likes to imply that my friends have become my friends because I've given 'em nice things.
180� off-course, Buddy Boy! (A simplicity beyond your ability to comprehend, I know.)
One of my eternal regrets is that I don't have enough of anything to give something of value to every one of my friends � many of whom I haven't even met yet. well, if the truth be known, no matter if everyone wants to accept it or not, the friendship thing came a long long time before the part about something of value. I have been on the recieving end of both. Ken can be kind of crusty at times, which gives him some of his charm. I don't think he has ever suffered fools easily. He has a very precise mindset in things, which is the reason he wrote that wonderful book on reforming brass, and the reason it turned out so well. It is the same type of mindset my grandson has, the air force engineer type. My biggest problem which i have to overcome is taking the something of value out in the woods for fear of scratching it. I am working up to it. Without a doubt, Dr. Howell is a national treasure in the gun world, for just a whole bunch of reasons, and I have treasured the time i have had to spend with him. My regret in that area is he is hard of hearing and so am I, and we are about at the point of having to use sign language. I think those of us that have gone up to quemato every year truely value the richness of the experience, it seems like it's better every year. And that, is the direct result of Howell. I am aware of quite a few things this man has done out of the goodness of his heart, with no thought of self benefit in mind. A few of the recipients have already posted on this thread, and know what i am talking about. He is a better man than I for sure. And see, I learned a new word today, fecalneuric. I am going to use that.

No reason to care about what he says. I do the same thing and will continue to do it in the future. Nice rifle by the way.

I would call it a work of art.

This is a wonderful thread. Thanks for starting it, Ken.
Gorgeous rifle, too. Congratulations, Miles.

I don't think he has ever suffered fools easily. I've seen where fellas on this forum have used that same excuse to justify that Alaskan dude bein' a pure prick to others on this forum for no reason other than to just do it. If you can't share your wisdom with other men without denigrating them in the process...it's likely not the 'others' who are the fools.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Not just the physical gifts, but your time, knowledge, sense of humor, and your willingness to share them all without limit, without condition, and without hesitation are the things we appreciate about you, Ken.
I have also been the recipient of Ken's generosity and cherish all of it.
Ed Beautifully stated and one hundred percent in the bullseye Ed. A finer friend than Ken would be hard to find. An equally fine rifle sits just beyond my reach as I write this along with a pair of shooting sticks. The most amazing gift and one I will remember until the day I go home but not nearly as wonder a gift as Ken's friendship over the years. Like miles, I have a goal for the rifle Ken gave me. I want to post a picture of an elk taken with the rifle Ken gave me along with the story of how Ken and I went hunting. It will be a good story because every time I look at the rifle or pick it up my friend Ken is with me.

� I don't think he has ever suffered fools easily. � But I suffer 'em � in silence far more often than not. The Campfire gives me a lot of practice � a lot of opportunities to choose whether to speak-out or to zip-a-lip.

I have to admit to similar acts of generosity. More than once I have given a birthday card that someone gave me to someone else. I just scratch out my name and write theirs in. It saves trying to think up something nice to say....

I have not seen him denigrate anybody, using your word. Maybe i should have said is he will point out inconsistency in thinking if that makes any sense. Like some of my questions about ballistics.

I've found that good deeds comes back ten fold in return. Yeah, I've known for years that you can't really lose by giving and you can't really gain from stealing.

Travis I've seen lots of evidence to support my statement, both in my own life and from watching others. Things even out. In the case of giving, sometimes there is only the opportunity to regain the value of the gift that comes along, Nobody is going to hand it to you. I've never know a thief that had very much, even when they're taking everything not nailed down.
