vicrider 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2014 Crackleback, my memory is not as good as it used to be and now that you mention it the flies I did for the other swap I did in an olive theme and must have been the Briana version since I remember using artic fox instead of craft hair. Your post brought that back. The thing that pisses me off with craft fur or craft hair or whatever they want to call it is that it has a huge amount of guard hair. Seems like artificial hair could be made without having to comb out about half the volume of the bunch you cut of short hairs. Give us a good craft hair with all hairs same length.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2014 And I just realized as I was about to sent these out I don't have your address. Kept all of them I've come across in last few years but we must not have shared a swap yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crackleback 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 Vicrider's came today. They look great. The Hogs are a good color combo for browns and smallies around here. I've never fished for crappie but I'll definitely be giving it a try with those little minnows. -Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 I need to get some materials. My do got into my stuff again. My wife has orders to get rig of the B!@# before I kill her. Kevin Since I have cats, not dogs, I've had to keep my stuff cleaned up and put away since the beginning. You can't blame the dog, it's an animal with slightly higher intelligence than any other, but still just an animal. You have to take the responsibility here ... if you leave it out, the dog will get it ... don't leave it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trez 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 Mikechell, Give him a break. He was angry that his dog got into his stuff "again". I've had a dog that broke into or out of just about everything we used to keep him in or out. If he has a dog that won't obey him or tears things up and he wants to find it a new home, why not? Maybe he doesn't want to have a reason to get really angry with it (maybe loose his temper), in that case, it kinda seems like a good idea. He didn't say he did anything to the dog just that it needed to find a new home cause it's pissing him off. Don't play thought police... He didn't give us enough info to make any judgments.... I might owe you an apology too but I live in Oregon and the animal rights thing is getting out of hand here. It isn't uncommon for people here to assume the worst of people without giving them the benefit of the doubt. Then turn around and defend animals as if they can do no wrong. End of Rant...

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 Oh, I am no animal rights activist. I don't agree with "trophy hunting" ... but meat is meat and I like a big thick cut. But I am kind of a Pet's rights defender. Pets are what you make them. Dogs are either rogue, part of the pack, or they are the pack leader. If a dog "disobeys" ... it sees itself as a rogue or the leader and it can do what ever it wants. If you are the pack leader, then the dog WILL obey. I can say that I will confront, and put down if needed, anyone I see actually abusing a pet. Done it, a few times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
