WRONG! At the 1:48:49 mark on the video, Skinney (I assume this is the Skinney dude...he's the only one talking) goes into a rant stating that he's got a hit list of PM members that he wants to...so bad...BAN
Yep, maybe new faces in the dark backroom of PM but still the same SHENANIGANS.
Good luck getting sponsors
I’m a new member here at Predator Masters. I agreed to the rules and regulations associated with this forum. I found this post by accident, kind of wish I didn’t. Speedy Bee, you initiated this post, so I’m assuming you are looking for replies. I’ll throw my two cents worth in.
First, I don’t have a dog in this fight. However, I do want this forum to survive. I don’t know you and you don’t know me. I read what you posted. When you hit that enter button on your keypad you put it out there for everyone to read. That right to free speech wasn’t just given to you. It was earned by people like my grandpa who fought in the trenches of WWI. My father who landed on Normandy Beach in WWII. My brother who fought with the Green Berets in Vietnam. It’s obvious to me something happened here in the past that you didn’t agree with. Everyone has choices in life. Whether there right or wrong, there your choices. You have to live with them. I hope you stay and contribute to this forum. I will be the first to read your posts. I’m always looking to learn and read about other hunter’s experiences. However, reading your title it sounds like you are leaving. Again, that’s your choice for your reasons. I will never fault you for that. I learned along time ago what happened in the past is gone. I can’t change it. So, I put my energy into what I can control. Today and what happens tomorrow. I learn from the past, and apply it today. If your ex- military, then you know what chain of command is. Back when you didn’t like something posted here etc. did you reach out to the powers and try to rectify it? If you didn’t like the outcome, then you could of went elsewhere. My wife says it this way. “When you’re playing in someone else’s sandbox you have to play with their toys”. If you are a member of Predator Masters, then abide by their rules. Again, I don’t know what happened that made you feel this way. All I do know is there was a lot of time typing and posting comments here by all involved. Why put so much effort into something you cannot change or control? I would have put more focus on my business, my wife and kids or something productive. Everyone commenting here could have typed a letter to their Senator. Told him/her to vote for their Second Amendment rights. Instead of putting so much negativity and time into this post. We are all gun people and hunters. We are all on the same team. And again, you have a choice to hit control-alt-delete and leave this all behind.
Speedy Bee, I go by a man’s actions not their words. The powers here at PM are volunteering here because they know the benefits of this forum and want it to succeed. They made that personal choice. So, lets respect them for it. If they fail, then come back and post “I told you so”. My guess is this forum will survive. My coach told me years ago, “If you throw your heart into something, your body will follow”. Everyone here has a passion for guns, hunting and the outdoors. Hundreds of like- minded members. It’s definitely off to a good start.
If I knew I was leaving this forum, I probably wouldn’t have posted what you posted. I would have packed up and left. Once I make a decision, I stick to it and never look back. Just my opinion. Maybe you’re reaching out to see if some changes can be made. I guess time will tell. I hope you reconsider and stay. But if you choose to leave this forum, good luck to you. There are bad people out there trying to take our rights away. I hope you can find it in your heart to stick together and fight for our Second Amendment rights.
I’m attaching a picture here. It’s a picture of my friend’s boy. We got him his first coyote. This coyote was the smart, dominant call shy male that evaded hunters for years. We suckered him in right into my friend’s boy’s lap. I’ll take this coyote for 50 of the ones the tournament guys shoot. Guys, I want you to look at the boy’s face. He’s the future here. I also want you to look and see what he’s wearing. You guessed it. GI JOE camo. If he wasn’t he wouldn’t of had that smile on his face.
