->> I wonder how much the pawn shop guys on the History Channel program "Pawn Stars" would offer him for that deer??
I can just hear the banter between "Big Hoss" and Chumlee.. |

| ->> I did a photo story a while back on a man who had several of those, and other animal stand-ins set up in his large back yard. He was an all around adventurer.. sold corporate jets for a living. Used the targets for bow hunting and demonstrated his shooting technique for my reporter and me. Interesting to say the least. It was the stuffed boar he killed with a bowie knife that got me. |

->> The cops (FWC) use these as bait for poachers. I think they have remote controled ones too... that move a little.
Amazing how many people drive around with hunting rifles and take a quick shot straight from their cars.. just to find out it was a trap :-) |

->> I rather see this than "Work for Free for me because I'm good" ads!!
You know, it;s OK for someone here to Work for free for me, but don't freelance for Wire Services because that is working for free!!
HUH???
Does the classified here say that it has to be Photo Related???
I have seen tons of things that are not Photo Related!! Like "Work for Free because I'm good" ads!!
This thread is silly!! |

->> These are not bait bucks, but a couple of nice bow hunting targets. It looks like they have replaceable sections in the "kill" zone. You drive a few miles north of Madison along country roads, and you can see these all over the place.
If you are a bow hunter this is a great price.
All you have to do is hit a few deer with your car and you don't feel sorry for "Bambi" anymore. |

Did you email Sara and ask about the pay? |

->> When we ask folks to do work, we put PAY in the AD!!
Her ad reads that it would be YOUR Privilege to work for her friend!!
When others post jobs here, they always post how much the job pays!!
It's not my Job to do this inquiry, it's hers.
IMHO, this ad is the real shame here, not the guy selling his Deer target.
If you want free help, say so, don't post that it would be MY privilege to edit someone else's work!! This basically says that my time isn't worth spit and this other guys time is actually worth to much that he can do his own edits.
Huh??
Please, go ahead and give me all the inappropriates you want.
You don't like the content of a classified?? Don't buy it!!
Don';t come here and whine about it just because you don't like the product being sold!!
I have the same right to complain as the Original Poster. Nobody complained about his post.... |

->> where in the ad for an assistant does it say "work for free"?
Oh and I like the deer, we shoot at targets like those with our bows on walking ranges. You walk a course and there are various targets. I just use my bow for target practice, but the hubby is quite deadly with his. :) If we had a bigger backyard..... |
