FREDS DEAD!

"The monster hog gained worldwide acclaim after he was harvested by 11-year-old Jamison Stone, a Pickensville native, with a .50-caliber pistol on May 3 at the Lost Creek Plantation, LLC, a hunting preserve in Delta. The big boar was hunted inside a large, low-fence enclosure and fired upon 16 times by Stone, who struck the animal nearly a half-dozen times during the three-hour hunt."

"From his treats of canned sweet potatoes to the how grandchildren would play with him, their stories painted the picture of a gentle giant. The even talked about how their small chihuahua would get in the pen with him and could come out unscathed."

“But if they hadn't fed him in a while,” Rhonda Blissitt said, “he could have gotten irate.”

I have visions of Arnold and Mr. Haney in my head....

AHEM...(insert Curtis Mayfield voice here):

That's what I said....

Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him..

Nothing says true love like buying your sweetie a pig for Christmas!

This reminds me of those people who put "M" badges on their non-M BMW's.

No problem. I know of a guy who not only put an "S" emblem on his 1972 911T, along with switching VIN numbers, he has had car(s?) featured in EXCELLENCE. Ain't image EVERYTHING???

Check your Northwest USA area to figure out who this egomaniac is. Shouldn't take you too long...

The good thing is that even anti-hunters won't claim that this is hunting. It's shooting barn animals. You may as well go to the pasture and shoot a cow. While it may be legal (with the permission of a farmer), that would not make you a cow hunter.

That's what I like about the South
There's stuff that happens here you can't make up. People hang out at my shop just to watch.

Jim,

You need to write a book about it. When I emailed you a while back that I would love to work in a place like that from time to time was not kidding. Places like yours seem to attract the most interesting type of people at times... some good and some otherwise!

I've been keeping a few notes just so I can recall a few of them, no book deal though. 22 years have gone by awfully fast for 'work'. Last week I had to backtrack fifteen years through my FFL aquisition/disposition archives (my computer database started in '95) to find the record of a gun I'd sold that day. It was a memory lane kind of thing. Many of the names I ran across are still customers. Found the pawn ticket also. The place is more organized than it might appear to the casual eye.

16 shots and hit him a half dozen times? This kid couldn't hit a parked Buick!

I wouldn't want to be in the same state when this kid goes hunting!
