September Pickup Thread...

I like animals too, and I don't hunt much anymore. I was never much of a deer hunter. However, that having been said, I don't have a problem with harvesting animals for food and to keep all of the stock healthy.

Jeff and others, IMO, its a bit hypocritical to decry hunting as you talk about when you are going to eat your next juicy steak. Just because you didn't kill it yourself doesn't mean that it isn't as dead. If you ever bothered to look at how the animals you choose to eat live their lives, I suspect that you would end up having to admit that they probably lived a much more miserable life than did the one in the scan.

Kenny, it's more than a bit hypocritical -- it's a lot hypocritical, I agree; that was sort of the point I was trying to make with my post by bringing up the dinner. And I really hope that someday, preferably soon, I can stop eating meat.

The only thing I was thinking was: Did he make some jerky out of some of that buck? Because if he made some jerky, I would more than be willing to trade some T206s (or whatever) for some jerky. That jerky you buy in the store is crap.

Jeff,

LOL, OK. I'll step down off my pedestal now.

You send me your address and I will make sure some finds its way to you in a few weeks hopefully. Season opens here on the 15.

Nothing like organic meat. Better than steriods, corn byproduct(major cause of obesity in America) and real cruelity to animals.

This is the first time I have posted a pick-up, but I thought these two deserved a little attention due to the Net54 connections. First of all, the 1909 Obak of Shinn is courtesy of Anthony, who went WAAAAY out of his way to make sure I ended up with it. It was one of the final two cards I needed to finish the set, and now I am down to just needing the Fitzgerald.

I was able to return the favor to another Net54'er, providing Ron with one of the two cards he needed to finish off the T207 set. And in return, heck, I got the Weaver card. A feel good story all around. Thanks guys!

I didn't see the deer pix but I DEER HUNT.......I HATE SUMMER!!!!LIVE FOR WINTER AND DEER!!!....LOL..."you can't grill it if you don't kill it"----the words of one of my heroes....Uncle Ted Nugent----......no steroids....pure clean meat.... Would rather have wild game than any "bred to be slaughtered" beef or pork any day....burns me up when someone yells its wrong to hunt and harvest the animal that provides the meat you want on your table and then go out and order that steroid laced steak, pork or chicken....and by the way, chickens and pigs are two of the nastiest animals on earth...I know, my Grandfather raised both....and nasty cows are right up there with 'em...but anyway, whats the difference.....somebody had to kill it.....slaughter it while it was strapped down or led into a "slaughter house" to have its throat cut and then hung upside down so it could "bleed out"....at least when we hunt we're in their house...they actually have the advantage....a smart deer knows when hunters enter "their" woods (and 99% of them are smart...or atleast the ones that aren't hand-fed like the deer on these ranches these so called "experts" hunt on TV...come to Northeast Alabama and hunt these mountains....what I thought...they won't)...personally, I think a deer is one of the most beautiful animals on the face of the earth and I have let a bunch walk by me and never raise the rifle of bow....but God, you do believe in God don't you?....put the animals here for a reason....and it was more than to be just admired.....it was to satisfy our need to EAT!!!(Acts 10:9-13)...OK, I'm done venting....this post was not personally directed at anyone.....just irks me to the bone to read or listen to this crap....I have nothing against anyone on this forum (or anyone that doesn't believe in hunting) and I am friends with everyone on here (even the ones I've never dealt with) and have friends that don't or won't hunt or eat wild game.....may it not have an impact on any future dealings.....I'll be quiet now and go back to shooting my bow....deer season begins in 32 days in 'Bama.....OH!!!!....and ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!and happy collecting.....and I won't be back to this thread to read folllow-up comments because I really don't like arguing...and I will disregard any emails or PMs and then laugh about it...I'm done with this conversation and I will never bring this topic up again on here...its for vintage cards...not hunting.....want to see my deer pix go to my Facebook or Myspace pages

Give those nasty animals guns and opposable thumbs and then maybe they'll have the advantage. And no animal is as nasty as humans.
