Did I really just read the fiction I thought I read.
"You know Bruce you need to let go of this, it had nothing to do with you."
Actually Bruce was there when he and I suffered directly due to your behavior, exactly as he described in that past post and here in this one. So, on the contrary, it has everything to do with Bruce in regard to his experience with you. Yes, Bruce is "truth telling", as am I. Your response just blows me away as you exhibit zero responsibility and minimize egregious behaviors as not a big deal. I mean, here on Rokslide we often see posts of scammers; do we ever see the scammers coming here and saying they are being "bashed", let alone "senseless bashing". No, those posters feel a moral and ethical obligation, along with a Rokslide civic duty to warn others of the treatment they endured from the scammer. Bruce simply feels the same obligations so that people here enter into activities with you with open eyes. Those posting about scammers are truth telling, the mods verify, and ban those scammers, directly due to those "truth tellers". But apparently that is a concept that eludes you.
"I have apologized to Bubble about the wheel barrel"
Yes, I remember a very very very insincere apology, followed by a "well, it's really no big deal". That is simply a lack of responsibility, remorse, blame and empathy.
"I never asked anyone to skin my pigs"
That is true, you never did.
" I am not a speed skinner and don't plan to be"
That is also very very true. But I do remember getting you all set up to skin and quarter your pig, including helping you hang it. I then left you to process the animal, while I got dinner and even brought you a plate of food. I went back to the tent to eat mine and chat with Bruce while you took care of the pig. I lost track of time, but came out to check on you about 3 hours later and you had only skinned about 1/3 of the pig. Now, since I was the guy that got you into that ranch, I have responsibilities with bringing you in there. The reality is that a pig can spoil in under 3 hours, and based on your speed of skinning the pig, you would have still been quartering it at noon the next day. So, simply put, I was obligated to step in. The last thing needed is to have Fish and Wildlife show up and find a spoiled Big Game animal (yes it big game in Ca guys and gals). I can only imagine the repercussions of that. I also recall you responding to a thread about this, and implying the guy helping you (me), was just stupid for doing something you could handle on your own; I can only see the mess of how that would have turned out. Now this is said only after hearing your glory day stories (Bruce heard them too) about all the animals you killed and processed. That experience you so proudly bragged about sure didn't show anytime while hunting with me. In fact, I recall feeling that I needed to gut, skin and debone that buck in your avatar, because you appeared completely lost as where to start and what to do. Granted, at that time, I sure didn't mind doing it, as I have helped you out and others out numerous times, it's just a part of who I am. In fact, as I described above, I packed that bucks meat back to camp (up hill) and then from camp to the truck.
"that is where the compressor skinning comes in"
I hope that works out for you, after all, it would be a shame to have an animal spoil and the Warden find out, because knowing that Warden, and having several face to face conversations with him, he would shut hunting down on that ranch in a big hurry for EVERYONE.
"You know it saddens me that a friend ship could be lost so easily"
Here you are minimizing the myriad of issues, pretending it all was no big deal. No it was not lost so easily; I mean, have you even read Bruce's posts of "truth telling"? IMNSHO, Bruce is going really easy on you, but then I put up with so much more from you for soooo long. There are soooooo many things I could list, but it would be pointless with you as you simply view it all as "no big deal". I am pretty sure that with your reply, the guys and gals here have a very good picture into your character, so there is no need for me to bring up the plethora of other aggreges behaviors you exhibited.
"you cleaned up a wheel barrel with some blood"
Nope, not even close. Have you even looked at the picture. There was meat and fat along with that blood, and it was baked on. By the way, that wheel barrel was put away by you, inside the little shed with the door closed and latched (I wouldn't call it a latch, but it did keep it closed through all kinds of weather).
" I cleaned up a porta potty the got shit all over."
Here you act as though this is an even exchange (in multiple ways). Well I am here to tell you it was not. I was responsible for you and your actions, as I am the guy that brought you into the ranch, and I was constantly reminded I was responsible for your actions. You really bring up your bucket crapper, as though we traded responsibilities; dude, I brought you into the ranch, set you up on the 300+ pound boar, and let you take the shot. Do you remember having that picture as your avatar as you now have the buck I set you up on. No its not even close to an even exchange. And, you came in knowing work was involved and you shared in the work. I was kind enough to express that the work should be divided fairly evenly but also by individual skill. On the trip Bruce was on with you, we all discussed sleeping in early and we all (including you) agreed. So it was a real shocker to be woke up at about 3 in the morning with you tossing noisy items around your tent, rolling you wheeled container with metal thing bouncing and banging around... and when Bruce and I finally got up, you come in the tent and say "hey I'm all packed and ready to leave, is it okay if I take off"? Well no it's not okay, but if you don't, either Bruch or I will end up in jail for killing you (having a good reason apparently is not excusable in the eyes of the courts, nor do the courts look upon it as a public service, despite it being just that).
" I have held up my side"
Really! Hardly, you just don't want the truth getting out. You just don't want the hunting community here knowing the truth about you; that is exactly why you came back to this thread attempting to minimize your actions. But just like with guys posting about scammers, "truth telling" (love the term Bruce, as it completely applies) should happen, after all, it helps protect the Rokslide community.
"senseless Bashing"
Not even close, but hey, there is a term that is correct, "Truth Telling", I know the guy that coined it!
Whiskey tango foxtrot…..
