Trad Gang

at the urging and very real threat of severe physical damage by mama bear i am changing my screen name to papa bear,(formerly elkherder)shes been calling me this ever since we fell in love.says i'm her big teddy bear...oyyyyyyyyyy. i need a hunt.  :smileystooges:

That is funny.

he he, been there too.

kinda funny aint it? women sure like doin the bossin around   :D        :D

That's gonna throw me for months.

Killdeer   :rolleyes:

you'll survive it in fine fashion killy  :readit:

Even the moms have a little cabin fever and have to go make up things to do -- or so it seems.

yeppers they do for sure

I'm glad to see you're a man who knows which side his bread is buttered on..lol

Unlike me.. you are smart and showing it.

I am smart enough to know if "Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody going to be happy!"

Welcome Papa Bear!!

God bless,Mudd

Ha! Ha!---good enough reason to change!

You got it the venus mars thing!
Count your blessings at least she cares enough to have you change the handle!!

I think I need a tissue,Thats so sentimental and now I really need to hold someone!Well at least we know who wears the Hunten pants in that house.    :D

I gave up trying to "understand" women, but I will continue to do my best to make mine happy. With a wife, a daughter, a grand daughter and two female dogs I have a lot of "girls" in my life. It is almost a full time job keeping them happy.
In the interest of keeping this thread "archery related" I have to say that my trad interest is one way of keeping my sanity when the girls get itchy.
Mudd has it right.

I do as I'm told also, ... so long as theres no complaining when hunting season rolls around.  Sure sucks to come home after a 2 week hunt to find the locks changed because you didn't complete most of the honey do list before going to play   ;)

we need a group hug or something man

Cabin fever strikes in many different ways.

Papa Bear, I'd settle for a group hunt!

word

I'm gona call you Larry.....

I'll never understand wimmins either.   :rolleyes:

Killdeer~ I'm going out for a beer.   :wavey:

Good handle. My wife calls me Big Pappa. Aint them women cute!

My Dad was wearing a flashy blue shirt the other day and I called him Papa Smurf. We all laughed for a bit.I must have tried a dozen screen names when I joined trad gang. It kept saying name taken. I kept putting in names that no one has ever spoken. Turns out I had Ed my real name somewhere on a nickname deal and thats why I think it kept saying name taken. So I took the Ed off and got stuck with Poison arrow.

You could just change your name to a symbol.........like "Prince" did.

"The bowhunter formerly known as Elkherder" LOL!

lol....do the moonwalk with my bow....  :D    :goldtooth:    :D

I must have slipped through a time warp or something!

Hey Papa Bear, Did you get "the look" ? Man, that can be very intimidating!

I don't know who wears the pants. But I'd rather be happy than right , anyday  Comes with 42yrs
of experience. Wouldn't trade mine for anything

Larry does this mean your a NEWBIE!...LOl

I fully Agree Mudd. "if Momma Aint Happy, NOBODY Is Happy!" Along with that, there is the Other Side "If Poppa Aint Happy, Nobody Cares..."  :rolleyes:    :biglaugh:

So I don't see the problem with ElkHerder unless it indicates that she's an "elk" to be herded?

I don't understand why she insisted on the change... please enlighten me "Papa Bear", and good call on keeping momma happy - I know all about that issue!

Larry,

You're always buying new and used bows like their going out of style and your running from the wife on the trad gang name?  I figured she had enough and did you in.  Haven't seen you at the club or shop lately and figured you might be pushing up dirt. ;-)

Nice to have a good woman at your side, even if they do get bossy sometimes.  Just ask NW Trad Wife who runs our shop.  I say me its me, she just grins and says when I let you!

Good post buddy, I will know who to look for on here for your posts.

i'm in hiding actually clay...she's monitoring my activities like an FBI agent.nocal...she just started calling me papa bear a few years ago when we met and became one in spirit,shes now mama bear.she read a post about fred bear and said...thats you papa bear...wouldnt let up about the name change.  :help:

Got to go with the flow as they say.

funny how its just a-ok when i wanna sell a bow or two...or three..well''never mind about that.  :bigsmyl:  but shes sees me scanning the classifieds and its on like donkey kong man.this head thumping and nose twising stuff is startin to leave permanent emotional scars.i just have to sneak to the library.  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  and tell her i'm goin for some louie lamour or tom sawyer.....muahhhhahahahahahahahahaha

No sense fighting it Larry, the force is against you. I learned years ago that momma is the boss! It just seems better that way....or should I say safer.

Go get some bikini underpants and a big cigar (quoting Akbar & Jeff), make a circle, pass the "talking stick", and get to bonding.....

:scared:     :scared:    :scared:    :scared:    :eek:

I've found that if I get most of the honey do list completed before hunting season, my wife doesn't complain at all about my hunting. As far as getting a new bow I make sure she gets something she "THINKS" is equel value, she doesn't have to know the exact cost of the bow.

My wife started gun hunting with me several years ago, and now is thinking of archery hunting so we both need a new bow for that...... right?.  ;)

now if you offset that with a cool bear kill avatar then all will be good

hell with them bears man.got chased when i was a kid.nuhhhhuhhhh no sir not going there.scared the crap outta me when i had to after the blueberry bear too.me and bears just werent made for each other.
