Ya... well... he's not fire retardant so he knows to watch himself or he could become tinder. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Didn't somebody mention in a thread recently that more people die by teddy bears than grizzly bears? Just keep that in mind.

Hey, no offence taken, at least you're honest. In answer to your question, I think everyone should, at some time in their life, hunt, kill, clean, cook, and eat their own meal. Besides the fact that you then know "you CAN do it", the experience brings on a level of understanding that is beyond my ability to explain. This brings to mind a story from about 12 years ago...I took my step-daughter fishing, and we caught some nice catfish. Once home, my wife and I had a discussion about wether she was going to help me clean the fish or not, and the only reason I won was because my wife couldn't keep her in the house (very curious child, Bonnie). To make a long story short, as I stood there with a skinned, gutted catfish with the head still attached, bonnie asked (with a very serious look on her 4 year old face) "When ya gonna kill it?" No nightmares, no getting sick, no problems, just a young child learning about the circle of life. By the way, we both enjoyed the fish dinner very much that night (my wife couldn't eat any, too "grossed out" watching her little girl helping out through the window).

I'm with ya 100%, Pete.

Thanks especially to Norad45, who pointed me to the Becoming an Outdoors Woman website.

I learn so much here. God, I love this site.

You are quite welcome. Do us a favor. If you do decide to give hunting a try, either with or without B.O.W., please let us know how it goes!

Regards, Vince.

You keep that teddy bear for two good reasons.

One, you will be fighting a current government conspiracy to denude the citizens of their security blankets so that the people have to depend on government jack booted "security" for their safety. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Two, even a small teddy bear should be able to conceal a little .25 automatic in its stuffing. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I can not "IRRREFUTABLY" prove number one, but they will get my little blue cotton "blanky" when they pry it from my cold dead hands. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

As long as you A. have a license, B. obey the game laws, and C. eat what you harvest, what's the problem?

Yeah... but given the choice, I'd rather be comfortable too.

Bounty... I'm surprised at you... a fan of the 1911 even mentioning a mafia lobotomy tool <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />. By the way, good to see ya back.
