Title: Auction - Leave this one alone!!!
Post by: John Scifres on April 30, 2013, 11:54:00 AM
OK I am placing a block on bids for this one -    Florida Gator/Hog Hunt (http://auction1.tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=195;t=000040)

This really is a dream hunt for me and I can't get into a bidding war so I have blocked it with my super duper internet skills.  So don't even bother looking at it.  It's mine!

I would not count on that. I have my eye on it and I have special powers

I have just waved my wand and removed your special powers.  Sorry, it's just that important to me!

Well now,,, my wand is bigger so both of ya'll need to look somewhere else. I need a pair of gator boots to wear at the cigar club events. Got a few bucks hidden under my mattress so bring it on.

It's closer for me to drive than for either of you and gas prices are going to $6 a gallon so just let it be, K???

I hear the sequester is gonna make air travel near impossible again so if'n you were thinking that route.

Unlike the rest, I have no need to Overcompensate for something else.  I might bid just to go and have a great time.

Just like you cant overkill something, there is no such thing as overcompensation. We dont have many gators up here since the discovery of snakeheads in the sewers so I feel its my responsibility to bring at least one on the long trip back north.

Well, well, well... I had not noticed this hunt AT ALL!  Always wanted to get the chance to meet Rob.  Always hoped to try for a gator, someday. Hmmmm...   :saywhat:

I might bid on this one just to run it up, probably teach me a good lesson if ya'll just dropped it on me.

This would be a dream hunt but I don't have the funds so I'm just going to enjoy watching the war.

Izzy, my wand may not be big but it contains lots of magic, so you and John better just let me win this one. Uncle Sam was good to me this year so I can give it a go! Shawn

I did this one a few years ago from a St. Jude auction.  There are lots bigger gators there.  Maybe I should go back.  This is the one I took on that trip.

My wife is gonna be pissed at you fellas when she finds out she has to take on a summer job to aid in my bidding.   :nono:

Post by: Mike Vines on April 30, 2013, 08:15:00 PM
I thought ahead and found my wife a 2nd winter job last year to prepare for the upcoming auction.  It's all in the prep work, you hunters should know that.

Good stuff on there, boys!  Think y'all might have screwed up waking up Biggie this early.  He's liable to rain on your parade.  As for me, I started collecting aluminum cans the second that RC listed the T-Bone Bow.

About an hour after I posted this I got a really nice health care reimbursement check.  I got two teens working this summer for college and car costs and the market is going good.  I haven't taken an out of state hunt since 2011 either.  All in all I say I'm due  :)

Just talked to my CPA. I had to pay waaaaaay more than my "fair share" in taxes. He said I should increase my charitable contributions this year...... a bunch  8-)

Ooh ceme24, there's a knife on there too?  I need a new knife!  It'll help with skinning the gator.

Yep, gators and hogs are on the bucket list of critters to hunt. Got my pennies saved up. Wondering what the license requirements are for a Canadian boy to come on down there a do a little bit of huntin', eh?

I hate to tell all you northern boys, but we put a sign up at the Mason Dixon line a few weeks back, it says; "Sorry, we're full"

If this hunt was scheduled for December I'd be looking at you guys in the rear view mirror.  :wavey:

I believe all you need is a non-resident hunting license, a 10 day will do. That'll get you a Gator & all the hogs you can eat.
For 'Game' (deer, turkeys etc...) you need to buy the specific species permit.
The Gator tag required will be provided  ;)
