2 Californians and a Texan

[Nemont]

Tom,

She is as much folklore as what actually happened in the battle of the Alamo. I always wonder why, if Americams love winners, the people of Texas celebrate losing at the Alamo?

Its fair chase Greenhorn, get over it.
Kind of like sitting at a hay stack or at a pond/river or accorn tree in Montana, isn't it?

Message Board
Dear Hunt Fair Chase Message Board Participants:

The Hunt Fair Chase program that launched in 2004 was huge success in raising awareness about the importance of ethical, fair chase hunting and how this code of conduct supports the North American Model of wildlife conservation. There are new opportunities for this Program going forward, which will be launched later in the year. Please check back as sections of this website will be changing and updated, including this message board.

Thank you for all your support,

Sincerely,

The Boone and Crockett Club

Greenhorn,

You need to change this thread title to 1 Californian, 1 ex Californian, and a Texan, ok. Thanks.

Oh but it doesn't have nearly the sting that way.

I hope it's warming up over there.. finally well above zero here today. Was supposed to take friend elk hunting and couldn't due to a sick kid.

So that is how all that Texas hunting tradition started

Yes - little egos feed themselves at the expense of others.

The same reason Custer's fatal mistake was called "Custer's Last Stand" and the bravery of his men celebrated. It has been shown now that it was pretty much a panic-filled rout!

Americans have long admired bravery and the willingness to sacrifice oneself for the greater good as much as they have "winning." In fact, I think winning at all costs is a more recent phenomenom in American culture - playing by the rules, honesty, charity and integrity used to be more important. Perhaps that is lost these days with the "Me first" generation that would knock down an old lady to get to a $20 bill....

that would knock down an old lady to get to a $20 bill....

Ok lets get the story straight. I didn't see the 20 dollar bill till AFTER i knocked the old lady down.
