    Should be $90 to fly, $200 reimbursed for fuel cost, I’d look into that; if I had my own vehicle with me it would’ve saved me a lot of headache

    Just think FloridaMan if you bring your van, once all the over achievers storm the first 6 seater van and there’s 40 people left you can roll up to the front of the hotel and ask if anyone wants a ride to the terminal :biggrin_25523:

    honestly I don't remember or recall him saying what type of shotgun it was other than a 410. we were still in high school, happened back in the early 80's.

    a young guy was just shot out of his tree stand a few miles away from here a few weeks ago. 14 yr old kid thought he was a cougar and shot him with his 7mm. Blew his shoulder apart, but he's alive. He just posted up his story yesterday, it's making the FB rounds now.

    It's sad when kids are not raised with the proper training and respect for firearms. I was always raised to never shoot what you couldn't see. Let quite a few bucks go by because I couldn't confirm the antlers.

    Jesus that’s the one thing that makes me cringe, anything to do with the medical field; I’d be counting my blessings on that one, another inch or two and he would’ve been done; also I wasn’t suggesting anything about your friend, merely curious how that happened given I’m sure he knew not to have the hammer back on a single action, it could’ve been a pump. #### happens, reason for mine is I was ####y and didn’t think it could happen to me, glad I learned my lesson without blowing my foot off

    the kid's dad was with him. his sister had thought she saw a cougar, went back to the farm to tell her dad. they jumped in their UTV and went to the spot, kid jumped out and let fly before the dad got to have a look. you can't kill a cougar here unless personal harm is imminent. there will be consequences I'm sure.

    I sure never took it that way, my friend is an accident prone kind of guy. none of us were surprised he blew his toe off.

    My dad bought me my first gun, wasn’t around all the time when I wanted to go hunting, so my grandpa would occasionally go but he was already up in years and couldn’t get around very well like that, so I finally convinced them to let me go by myself lol think I did okay

    Should have used a shoulder strap. But hindsight is 20/20.

    Bit off topic but what I find extremely annoying is anyone wanting more legislation on firearms after an accident such as a kid getting ahold of a firearm and getting hurt; I know if I had a kid I wouldn’t leave firearms laying around anywhere loaded or unloaded, should be kept in a gun case or a safe, lot of people seem to die because they don’t do that; furthermore I find one of the best ways to not have a negligent discharge is to keep your booger hook off the trigger until you’re ready to lay down some hot and heavy lead lol this video is pretty funny
