[John Bridge]

Jim,

How are you posting all your little smiley things here? It's exactly the same thing.

Read this carefully in the FAQ section of this board.

http://johnbridge.com/vbulletin/index.php?action=bbcode

When you see an image you want to post here from anywhere on the Internet, right click on it. Then click "properties." Then highlight the url of the image, which starts with http://, etc.

Copy and paste that information on this reply form using the codes I've had you read. If I put the codes here, they will disappear.

[flatfloor]

Thanks John, It's just not working. As you say it should work like the Smilies but it doesn't. I think it's my computer, but then again....

When I click on properties I get a pop up with the url, but once I highlight the url, I can't do a damn thing.

I'm going to try a little longer.

[Cami A]

Jim- just keep right-clicking, then left-clicking- you'll get there!

http://www.smiley-channel.de/grafiken/grafiken/computer/comp05.gif

[John Bridge]

Maybe, just maybe, you'll get there. :)

After you highlight the url in properties, right click on the highlighted area and then choose "copy" from the drop down menu that appears.

Now it's on your clipboard. You do know what a clipboard is, don't you, Mr. Contractor?

"Paste" it onto this form and put the little tags in front and in back -- no spaces. I'll put asterisks in the tags so they will appear here. Use them without the asterisks. Here they are:

[img*]http,whatever[/img*]

That's it. Just eliminate the *.

It WILL work.

[cx]

I didn't know how y'all did that, neither. Now me and flatfloor can look like web surfer guys too!!

http://www.kauffmanoutfitters.com/_derived/elk.htm_txt_BillElk.gif

For my very own first test I chose this here picher which qualifies as a blatant advertisement. Anybody wanna shoot one of these, I'll pewt you onto the site for the outfitter for whom I guide sometimes in New Mexico.

How 'bout it, Jim? If I can do it, ANYBODY can do it.

[Cami A]

Good God- what is the outside spread on that rack? (Maybe his wife got lucky and it wouldn't fit through the door...)Any hunts available for archery season?

http://www.hallo-spass.de/smilies/smilie_schreck.gif

[flatfloor]

I did it!http://www.clicksmilies.com/sammlung/huepfen/huepfen024.gif I did ithttp://www.clicksmilies.com/sammlung/huepfen/huepfen017.gif!

It's over in the Dream Car, which is what started this. The trick was keeping the cursor on the url when I right clicked it.

Thanks All!

[Cami A]

Way to go, guys! I predict another smilie invasion...

[flatfloor]

Kelly, what the hell is that? I saw something like it in a bar once.

[cx]

Damn, Jim Boy, I hope you didn't try to pick her up! :)

Das es un Wapiti. Un BIG Wapiti!

Cami:

Oh, yes, killing Wapiti with sharp sticks is an option in New Mexico. Everything is by lottery type drawing out there (except bear, turkey and some deer). If you have serious interest, send email and I'll 'splain you who to talk to. Can do other critters with sharp sticks, too. Persian Ibex is a favorite.

Oops, missed the first Q. Don't know the spread on that one, but it was substantial. That hunter in the picture is a story himself. Has in excess of 150 MOUNTED trophys in his house (including 3 elephants) and that's only because he hasn't gotten around to the other 50 or 60 that he still intends to mount. These are all things he, hisownself, has killed. Hunts a lot.

[Bud Cline]

Reddeer maybe?

[cx]

In Europe you'd be close, Bud. Our North American Elk are bigger. Similar, though, I'm told. Ain't never seen a real Red Deer on the hoof, myownself.

[Cami A]

Well, the hunts sound ideal with all that hiking and packing in and other guy stuff, but unless those prices are in pesos (and what are the odds of that in NM...) I think Jack will hafta stick to Michigan/Canadian hunting and fishing trips. Looks like a very nice outfit, Kelly.

[Bud Cline]

For several years now my wife and I have made a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park the first week in October. The primary reason for this trip is to view the wildlife but primarily the Elk.

Elk are in full rut at that time and they are fascinating animals to watch. In the evenings like clock work the Elk come down from the higher country to the meadows. They graze they drink.

The bulls bugle and contest one anothers presence. The older Elk don't want the young studs anywhere near their harem. Frequently a youngster is anxious to strut his stuff so he knows he must first challenge the reining bull of any particular harem.

A male Elk will not go after just any cow, and a cow won't have just any male. The hierarchy is absolute. Once a cow selects her male he is hers for the season unless of course that male losses a battle to another male.

Rocky Mountain Elk are North American Red Deer. At least that's the story told by the Park Rangers and their publications.

[cx]

Ah, Ms. Cami, I forget you can trace them there pichers back to their source (thanks for that little trinket of knowledge, by the way).

Not entirely a guy thing. We have ladies of the female persuasion who slay Wapiti, Orex, Bambi, and other tasty species. Ladies always welcome in camp, either as hunter or guest. But on some hunts you gotta be able to do a substantial amount of walking. Up hill. Both ways.

Unfortunately, those prices are in American dollars. But I'm told by our clients that it's still a very good deal (I haven't hunted for many years and have never bought a guided hunt). I recall one of our bow Ibex clients telling how he paid $10,000 for a sheep hunt (tehe) in Montana or Wyoming and never saw a ram except through a spotting scope. He still thought it was a great hunt and a good price!

Save your pennies and bring Jack on out there. You'll be glad you did. I'll even promise to come help just so's I can meet you folks. Never too early to start applying; might take years to get drawn for the good places.

End of advertisement. :o

[John Bridge]

Advertise all you want. Send kickback to P.O. box listed on home page.

And please don't kill Bambi. I don't think I could deal with that.

[Cami A]

Bambi? Never take Bambi. Bambi's dad, however....

Around here, P.E.T.A. stands for People Eating Tasty Animals.

[cx]

Cami:

Yep, have the same organization around here; been a member for years. Orex is the hands down winner in that catagory around our camp fires.

John:

You gotta remember that Bambi is not the cute little kid you remember from the movies. These days he's a fully grown gang member and spends a lot of his time bullying the little deer and chasing their mothers around the woods and......well, whatever.

But not to worry, mostly don't nobody shoots Bambi on acounta Ranger Rick lay a big ticket on you if he find out, and it's one of them tickets what gets you INTO jail rather than out. Now Bambi's parental units? That's a horse of a different feather. http://www.clicksmilies.com/sammlung/waffen/waffen038.gif

[Bud Cline]

http://shade.grove.iup.edu/~ferenc/elk22.jpg

Now you got my curiosity goin' CX, so I had to look it up. I found out there are actually six Elk species in North America, all Red Deer though.

http://shade.grove.iup.edu/~ferenc/elk00076.htm

[Bud Cline]

http://www.wellesley.edu/Activities/homepage/web/Species/Images/adeerwhitetail1.jpg
Bambi, a White Tail Deer is a different story apparently. Here's some FACTS (http://www.charm.net/~kmarsh/bambi.html) I found about little Bambis.

Bummer!

[Edited by Bud Cline on 12-02-2001 at 10:27 PM]

[flatfloor]

If anybody remembers, or cares, in an earlier thread I told of my first job as a yout, as a camel driver and the herd of Elk we cared for. If I remember correctly the description on the enclosure mentioned Red Deer. They certainly looked more like Bud's picture than the Elk from hell in CX's picture.

[Bri]

"Man is the whitetail's natural predator here on the East Coast, due to the absence of the Wolf and the Cougar.".............Why? Because the Hunters KILLED them all!!!!!

[cx]

Plenty argument can be had on the subject, for sure. Hell, the "experts" can't all agree on whether it's a "native" or "exotic" species for record scoring.

My best understanding is that our Elk (Rocky Mountain variety) are generally accepted to be a "close cousin" to the European Red Deer, but not the same animal, as it were. I think the Roosevelt (sp?) variety on the west coast is closer to a Red Deer, but that's barely above a guess - read or heard it somewhere kinda thing.

Hell, they think they got Elk in Europe too, except they're really moose. Always been kinda confusing.

Me, I can tell the ones we hunt from a deer or a pack horse or a mule or a bovine, so they give me (give hell, sell me) a guide license and say, "be careful". And I can tell the big ones from the REALLY BIG ones, which is also a plus. If someone were to run some Red Deer in with our Elk and say you could only shoot one or the other, welllll, we might have a problem there. But if'n they run in some of them European Elk, fella would know right away, eh?

Where did you find the info about six species, Bud? I never knew we had that many. Maybe I'm helpin' people shoot the wrong things! Look bad on the ol' resume.

I ever tell you how to tell the difference between the tracks of a big bull elk and a bovine?

[Cami A]

http://www.wmtinc.com/cougar.jpg
Cougars? They're aren't all gone-just most of them, sadly. The guy that put in our foundation swears he saw cougar tracks in the fresh sand while we were downstate. Several locals have mentioned sightings in our area. We're within a stone's throw of some large wetland nature preserves (formerly known as swamps) so it's certainly a possiblity. And after this article, some of the skeptics got a bit quieter.

http://www.freep.com/sports/outdoors/cougar1_20011101.htm

[John Bridge]

Bud, All that stuff you posted about Bambi is propaganda.

Cami, Bambi's momma got shot in the movie, and I cried for days. (Bambi is an old movie, folks.)

Bri, You've been wanting a new handle. "Canadian Environmentalist"? :)

[flatfloor]

Bri, you want some white tails? (I think they are whitetails, anyways their deer) they are all over the east end of Lon Gisland, eating everything in sight. I predict a murder here one of these days because some people feed them while others are trying to get rid of them. The damn things are so tame they will walk up to you.

I will be happy to send every effen one of them along with the Canadian Geese to you.

[Bud Cline]

Seems like the publications put out by the Rocky Mountain National Park Service said the Red Deer (Elk) walked here from the Northwest many many moons ago. They crossed over at the Aleutians and came on down.

[Bud Cline]

Want to see a town overrun White Tails go to Marble Falls Texas sometime.

[Cami A]

John, I saw Bambi, too. Just not the second release... :D Nowhere did they show Bambi's Mom jumping out in front of a car. New York is #1 in car-deer accidents(about 70,000 per year) and Michigan is #2 (about 68,000 per year. Might as well shoot 'em for food than let them die and get all bloated by the roadside.
http://www.clicksmilies.com/sammlung/traurig/traurig026.gif

[John Bridge]

Alas, Bambi's mom was shot by a hunter.

Hey, don't get me wrong, guys. I'm not a hunter, but I certainly have nothing against it if you use the meat. I'm a fisherman -- a FOOD fisherman. I don't throw 'em back like those smarties on TV do.

Now Kelly, tell the folks how deer are hunted in Texas.

[cx]

Too embarasing for moi!

Suffice it to say I don't call what they do hunting. Harvesting is far more accurate.

For those of you in states with real hunting laws, Bubba is not only allowed to carry his loaded rifle in his truck during hunting season, I think it may actually be required! Bubba thinks it's cheating to actually get out of the truck to shoot a deer. Well, unless he's getting out to get on his ATV - which will have multiple gun racks attached - to drive to his heated blind which stands permanently near an open field, in the middle of which is an automatic deer feeder (made by Sweeny Enterprises, just a couple miles down the road from my hovel).

I could go on, but.......

Cami:
I'm a bit surprised at your statistical data about deer being harvested actually using the vehicle as the weapon. I can't imagine that any state could rank above our own beloved Texas in number of whitetails slain by automobile. The damn things are like rabbits around here (And not a hell of a lot bigger, I might add). Driving the back roads after dark is safer than Russian Roulette, but not a hell of a lot. Maybe y'all just report your kills more often.

[Bri]

HeHe!!...I knew I'd start something!

[Cami A]

Bri- that was an evil laugh...http://www.clicksmilies.com/sammlung/teufel/teufel024.gif

Kelly, I don't think all of the states keep track of car-deer accidents. Those numbers popped up on a couple of sites, but I didn't look for Texas. I guess I should have known you Texans would have wanted to lay claim to being #1... :rolleyes:

Sheesh, John, I was trying to give you some credit- Bambi's original release was 1942. I guess you are the original mud man. :D

[cx]

GOOD LORD!! Bambi's older'n I am!

John: Another note for your resume: Been doin' mud work since Bambi was just a fawn.

Wellll, maybe not. :D

Off to work again in the rain. Who was it complained about the drought around here just a few months ago?

[flatfloor]

Bambi was the first BOOK I ever read, yes it was a book before Disney discovered it. Got me hooked on reading. I read it AFTER the movie came out, smartasses.

[Bud Cline]

...and it's still on his nightstand!

[John Bridge]

It's not still on my night stand, but Bambi was read to my younger sister and me when I was in first grade by my mother. We'd go into her room right before bedtime and she'd read. I can still see the pictures if I close my eyes. That was in 1948.

I didn't know the movie had come out before then. I do recall seeing it after the original "reading." :)

Like I say, I've nothing against hunters and hunting in general, but I would have loved to have been able to track down that son of a bitch who shot Bambi's mom!

So you still have it on your night stand, eh, Jim? My copy wore out, and I now have the Cat in the Hat in that place of honor, along with a couple lesser works I've been trying to polish off for a year or two now. :D

Thanks for trying to protect me, Cami.

[Bud Cline]

"Cat in the Hat"? That guy was a pervert!

[John Bridge]

Oh, the Places You'll Go, Bud.

[flatfloor]

Oh, Bud's going places alright!

John, what was Bambi's mother's name? No research allowed. Now that's a great trivia question. Oh yeah, who wrote it?

[Bud Cline]

That's nothin', you don't ever want to get me started on Michael Jackson. The world's wealthiest pedofile.


Hey Jim was it Bambette?

[flatfloor]

Geez Bud, Bambette was the girl in the donut in Dallas.

[cx]

No, no, the girl in Dallas was Debbie. Debbie Does Dallas, remember?

Come to think of it, Bambette mighta been in that one too. But I don't recall no donut. :D

[Bud Cline]

Bambara, Bambinda, Bambene, Bambis, Bambary, Bambeth, Bambalice, Bamberta?

C'mon--was it one of those?

[Dave Gobis]

[img]http://www.floorguide.com/images/banners/ctef-banner.gif[img]

So what did I do wrong?

[Cami A]

Dave- you're soooooo close- just put a / before the last img. It should look like [ /img] without any spaces. http://www.clicksmilies.com/sammlung/ernaehrung/ernaehrung010.gif

[Dave Gobis]

http://www.floorguide.com/images/banners/ctef-banner.gif

Now I know why Flatfloor was so proud, you do feel accomplished when you finally figure it out. Its the simple things in life.

[flatfloor]

Way to go Dave, there's hope for us yet.

Bambi fans, sorry about the Trivia question, I don't think Bambi's mother had a name. It was his significant other I was thinking of, and no Bud, his SO's name was not Michael.

[Bud Cline]

It's true I'm sorry to report, Bambi's mother was never mentioned in any of the stories.


So........was Bambi a boy or a girl?

[flatfloor]

Green, you color blind?

[cx]

Hey, now I know why y'all is confused about Bambi and Dallas and Debbie and all! The girl who starred in Debbie Does Dallas was Bambi Woods. Oh, yeah, it really was.

No wonder there was confusion. But I still don't know about no donut. http://www.clicksmilies.com/sammlung/fragend/fragend008.gif

[John Bridge]

Hey Dave, That's pretty high-tech stuff for an old mud man. There may be hope.

[Dave Gobis]

Look who's talking about old! Had a class of young bucks this week. Sure wish I had a back like that again, 4 boxes of tile at a time. Better yet, could have used them to pick up the 20 bags of portland for the next class last night. The darn 2.5 got me again too!

[stullis]

Plastic lath, plastic lath! No more 2.5! :)

[flatfloor]

Hi Stullis, can you tell me who makes it, website? Thanks

[John Bridge]

I'll check out the plastic lath. It's got to be as good as the electroplated tin foil we're getting out of Mexico. Stuff won't even give you a decent cut.

Have to go to a masonry supply to get 2.5 around here anymore. Point me at that plastic!
