HAHA well said, though I believe in that unfortunate case, my Father and Grandfather would allow an exception to the rule, I know I sure would.TexasComputerDude wrote:Well, add another reason to why I hope you never have to draw your CCW in self defense.....ExMarlboroMan wrote:

Yeah some people where telling me to make a pillow out of the hide? I'm not so sure about that. I asked the taxidermist to have the extra hide tanned for me, dunno what i'll do with it just yet but i assure you nothing will go to waste.

Thanks for the comments!
I'm guessing it tastes a lot like Crow...or chicken
