LB, I am not going to play your little cut and paste game.  Anyone who read your posts on this topic here or on bull session  can easily see your contradictions.  I am sorry I brought up my past experiences. I had no business sharing that with this forum.  I did so because I was very upset.  I knew it would turn into a game of one up, better than yours story.  I just have a hard time dealing with plastic patriots!

Hometown, as far as your little wink wink woman issue thing remark, I find it too childish and pathetically desperate to respond to.  If that is the way your preferences swing, it is no business of mine! As far as the you have to have the last word thing, is this the same as saying I will insult you and you better not respond?

TRJake.  I owe you an apology.  Every year I meet with friends from SD to go fishing or meet in Deadwood.  This is where I first learned of this story.  One remarked that some were justified but others were using it to jump on the bandwagon to promote fee hunting.  Not sure why anyone would need to do that as if you own the land you can charge anyway.  I swung too wide a loop and never meant to put you in with the crowd whose convictions can be summed up by the statement: ". If, at some future date those big rack bucks look like they might be worth a lot of jingle to the right pay hunter, we may decide to open to pay hunters, for the right price"!

To the other readers, hometown g said my language belonged in a small town cowboy bar.  I used the words hell and @ss.  If those words offended you, I apologize. As they are frequently used in the bible, on the air, in newspapers, I felt they were acceptable.  I will be careful not to use them again in SD.

Have a nice day!
