well i feel like cedarcreek now.  got a recall from chrysler on our van and it stated that if you all ready had it repaired just simply send in your recipts for rembersement. well its now the third time since december that i have done this and they keep telling me their not receiving it in the mail.  not even if you certify it or fax it to them, somehow its my fault ?  im thinking that because their broke and got a bailout their not going to honor it.  good thing i made copies.

i had a blast at the expo ! it was a great experience and i finally got to meet some of the great deerspace members.  thanks to all of you who came out to see us.  i made a bunch of new friend and some very good memories.  words cant describe the fellowship and fun we had.  we truly have a unique space to share with everyone and i even got my wife to become a member!(juliefish76).  if you never have been to one of these events, you should go!  there is something for everyone.  i even ordered some awsome furniture from damar!  if you havent seen it you need to.  but ill warn you the pictures DO not do it justice.  you have to try them out like some of us did.  we even spotted a 6 pointer in the rocker (chad) ha ha.  all in all it was a great time and hope to see more of you.

I love the rifle carrier tied to the outside frame on the left side of the plane, most evident in the last picture.

Best duct tape story ever
During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the plane.  And a bear smelled it.  This is what he did to the plane..
    



  
      


 
 
  
      


 
 
  
      


 
 

  The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him
      2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet
           plastic. He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT
HOME !

      


 
      


 
 
  Duct Tape ? Never Leave Home Without It! 

recently i've read  a couple of articles about the "pay it forward" kindness from people around the states.  i think this concept was a great idea.  its nice to see people helping people in their time of need.  with the economy and loss of jobs, the Acts of Random Kindness, may it be big or small,  it's always appreciated.  i guess my point is with the recent record cold weather help someone out young or old.  dont pass them by if they need help, lend a hand.  pull over to see if they need help,  remove snow, etc.  a little kindness goes a long way.

Got this in an e-mail today, wanted to share with ya'll.  i think its great !!

remeber he works in mysterious ways!!

for those of you who might be wondering what states honor your states personal pertection pistol permit there is an answer.  recently a friend of mine whom i work with ran into this problem when he was carring(legally in indiana) his pistol and got pulled over in ohio.  luckily for him the officer wasnt nasty about the situation.  the ohio state trooper explained to him specificly how to transport without an ohio permit.  it could have been a bad situation quickly, but my hats off to an understanding female state trooper.  i wouldnt want to be in their shoes at times!  so anyways, on my listings is a link to a site that will tell you what states honor each others permits.  i will admit i have always wondered, but carried anyways.  its an easy site to navigate around in.  simply point and click your state.  thought this would be good information to all that carry a pistol legally.  remember if you do get pulled over to tell the officer you are carrying.  its makes it easier on both ends.  thanks, chris

if you havent heard allready our administrator hasnt picked out a suitable screen name for himself.  so some of us have started a little contest to help him out.  so far there are some pretty interesting name choices.  i would like to invite all members to put in their two cents.  please check it out in forums under introductions.  so far there is a free deerspace shooting shirt for the winner.  so click on administrators profile and check him out,  help us find a good name for him.  be safe and happy holidays to you and your family.  thanks, chris

well ive been shooying my trusty PSE for about fifteen years now and it has killed deer every year for me.  with the way technology has changed the archery industry i think its time that i upgrade for next year.  so i have talked about a few bows with some of the members all ready,  im asking all of you to give me some suggestions or thoughts for my choice.  ill take all good and bad from any make.  i think the best field testing feedback will come from you.  i dont shoot an overdraw, i do shoot carbon arrows.  so if you can give any suggestions, i would greatly appreciate them.  oh yeah, this is for hunting only, not competition.  thanks chris

wow big changes in the activity points!  i think this will make it easier to grow your racks.  i give it a big thumbs up!
