Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on March 30, 2013, 03:44 PM:

Below is a compendium of nice friendly banter from our MFK buddies. I have since heard that they take this road show all over the Internet, with similar results.

It's a train wreck, but you can see the self promotion, the intentional and admitted "poking" the whining about how we can't take a joke and it's actually twelve year olds in men's bodies. These guys really need to grow up. Fast. LB Read on~

(Jason)
I'm not real sure why some of you guys get your rocks off talking shit about them.
It's a controlled environmentI know, you're calling to judges and not coyotes, hell I'd rather call to a coyote, they usually know what sounds better, but it is what it is. Plus the prize money ain't all that bad either. I'd have to kill 500 of these damn VA coyotes to pay for what you win in one calling contest. My fur buyer told me he'd give me $5 bucks if I skinned mine and I'd just have to give them to him carcass for him to even fool with them otherwise.
Some of ya'll oughta show up. It's a good place to meet and hang out. I met Randy Shaw at the last one and hung out with him all weekend. Now that guy knows his stuff and I consider him a good friend! I ain't the killer that some of ya'll boys are and I'm the first to admit it, but I do alright in my neck of the woods and win bout every hunting contest put on around here as well.
I just hate seeing the calling contests being put down because they are a fun place to get-together, hang out, challenge your buddies to calling and catch up. It's just something else to do in the offseason but if you'd rather just sit behind a computer screen and talk shit, have it, I'll be in Waco though. Hell, ya'll might even learn how to make a call sing like I can! LOL I'm just messing with ya.

Believe me, I'm one competitive sum bitch and don't like to lose anything I ever enter. Like I said, I hunt every contest anywhere around me within' a 100 miles locally(10-12/per year) and usually win about all of them. I know it's not as prestigious as hunting out west and killing 10-15 per day, but you can only kill what ya got! If they ain't there, it don't matter how damn good ya are, you ain't gonna kill em! Hell I killed 5 reds on one stand on a contest here back in February and that is unheard of in my part of woods.

I've won as much as $3,000 on a good night. Usually 2 coyotes, a cat and 2-3 foxes will get you the win. I've been doing these since 2006 since they started, I missed the first one they had because I had never heard of them either but it didn't take me long to find out about it and start taking these boys money! LOL.

BTW, the Lewis and Clark guys have 7 hunts and at the end of the year invite the top 5 teams of the season by points back for the last hunt for the end of the year championship. I've been lucky and never lost that one! It's usually good $$$.

Jason is about as good a guy you will ever meet. I can tell ya, he's not that guy that brags or says "look at me". If anyone got that impression, I can promise ya it's wrong. If you ever met this guy, you'd see what I'm talking about.

Krusty, you left out the "LOL. Just messing with ya". Not just saying this because I'm on the team, everybody on the MFK team that I've talked with has been very helpful and kind. We all joke a lot and we're definitely smart ass at times but it's all in fun. You are right about us teaming up though. We are a TEAM, that's kinda the point. We back each other up.

And Krusty, I guess you missed the LOL , and just messin' with ya in those comments. I've always thought you was a good guy on here and never had a problem with ya or ever tried to start shit with anybody. Just giving my opinion, not trying to start a fight by any means. Good thing ur in Northern VA, you wouldn't fit in too well down these parts. And also , when did you ever contact me to hunt with me??? I've never heard of you, talked to you and don't even know your real name other than on this board??

"Jason. Amigo. I ain't banning you, but I don't like your smart ass mouth."

Leonard, I'm not real sure why you're getting so pissed and calling me a smart ass. I've been reading this board long enough to know that 98.7% of the guys on here are smart-asses, including me AND you, and that's why we are here and not on PM. They're too sensitive to handle it over there. Don't be so sensitive Leonard! LOL And be easy on poor 'ol Red, he don't get out of the house much with a new wife and baby and was just excited!

Don't recall much promoting going on HM from my end but my memory ain't the best. As for wisdom, I don't have too much in the area of predator hunting compared to a lot of the guys on this site, I just get lucky evey once in a while and get a coyote or two down a year. That's the main reason I don't post here much. Don't see much need in telling Michael Jordan how to make a jump shot. Seems like most of the guys here have their ways and it works for them. I usually just log on to read the back and forths for a laugh. As for the loudness in camp, if it really bothered you that much I apologize. I honestly though you were joking with your, "You guys sure are yucking it up over here" comment. I couldn't see you though because I was getting gear together. Quietly too. Guess I get a little excited when the sun is already up and it's time to go try to kill something though. Good news is that I'm 99% sure you'll never have to deal with that group in a camp again. Am I close to breaking the only rule?

edit: note to self; do not call 49 a yankee. He is apparently very sensitive about that name. I don't blame him, a bit.

Leonard, you're a Cali-foreign-ian, I don't even know what to call you. LOL, (again, Joke!, but it's not that funny when you have to explain it)

Leonard, hope you brush off the yucking. I'll admit, I did have a little fun at your expense and I knew it was a matter of time before I got the boot. I'm honestly surprised I was even approved with that screen name and I'm surprised it took so long for me to be banned. I wasn't nearly as bad as some of those guys though. This is not an attempt to get registered so please don't think that. You were actually an alright guy for a grumpy old cuss and if I really offended you or your feel disrespected I sincerely apologize. I was just poking, admittedly just to poke. I hope your site remains the way it is and you allow people to speak their peace unlike PM, another site I'm banned from. That was their doing though. Good luck on future hunts and be safe out there.

That took some class for 'ol Red to send that after you canned his ass. He's about as good as they come. I think ya'll have a hard time distinguishing the good guys from the bad guys sometimes. I think he just thought it was funny that someone could get SO upset just from being woke up a few minutes early on "hunt" morning. I know if I'm going hunting, I wake up an hour earlier than the alarm clock. He's got a new baby in the last few weeks, so I'm sure he's paying him back right now for ya. I just hope he don't ban him to the woodshed or something for waking him up! LOL I hope you consider re-instating Red, he's a good guy and goes way out of his way to help out a lot of people. If you got to know him, you'd like him, just buy some ear plugs!

Leonard I don't no what MKF stands for, but from what I have read it sounds like a group of college kids. They sure are trying to impress everyone here. Reminds me of a hunting cd I was watching, every time the host shot some thing he would say (FRY CHICKEN BABY). He would jump up and down, pump his fist really ham it up. My wife ask me do you act like that, I told her in all my years of hunting I never seen anyone act like that. Most of this new breed of predator hunters is all about the show, not like the old days when you went out called them in shot them brought them home and skinned them. Got up the next day and did it again, the only one that new how many you got was the fur buyer and the land owner you were hunting on. Hell I even got to posting pictures of kills. Glad the old timers are all gone that show me the ropes, they would have kick my ass for acting like that. I guess its the times they're a changing, its a said thing to see.

Posted by Jay Nistetter (Member # 140) on March 30, 2013, 05:37 PM:

Once in awhile one reads statistics on Obama speeches and he talks about himself alot (even if he is speechifying at a funeral). He's impressed with himself so much that he uses "I", "My", "Mine" and so forth constantly.

The venacular "I" was used 85 times in the first post of this thread.

It gets pretty damn boring fast when someone talks about themselves whether bragging or apologizing. JMHO.

This interweb thingy is kind of odd at times but it's just the interweb. Don't put too much into the bad, you'll never get enough back to equal out.

But the friends made and time shared together in the real world bless us many times over.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on March 30, 2013, 06:35 PM:

Tom, my friend, those guys don't know enough to "get to me". In fact, I put the whole bunch on ignore a long time ago. It takes a lot to turn a TT roast into a feature about a couple of nobody's. I'll tell you one thing, waiting to get rich selling diaphragm calls is a loser. Besides it being a very small segment of the hand call market, if that's all you got, I don't see people going out of their way to acquire such a 'must have' product.

You know, I use diaphragm calls, and have been since all of those guys were in diapers; and I mean that quite literally. There was nothing in their videos whatsoever that made me sit up and order one or two. They might as well be trying to get rich selling perfect "straight pins". Meaning they are all alike, and if you know what you are doing, you can make any of them sound good.

It's just that all the bullshit, and bragging with this crowd just won't go over very well. So, they have to be rank amateurs to think everybody is going to give them the hero worship they crave. Wins hunt contests in Virginia, BFD.

I spared you guys from putting up with the me!, me!, me! bullshit. Don't I even get a thank you?

I think the "MFK" thing is the slick nuts version of "Veni Vidi Vici". Maybe wrong but the 80+ I and me's sounds about right.
LB, i have felt all along that this is the best forum on the www. No one here is trying to push a bullet brand, camo clothes, etc off as being the best for any reason other than personal preference. Anyone and everyone here is capable of being "difficult", it's the hature of having an opinion. And picking on the shitheads at PM is just punishment for being the midget dicks they are. Fuckem, if they don't like what's being said here, go the fuck back to PM.

The thing I found funny was that to prove how great they are at coyote calling they say to checkout there facebook page and just see how good they are. Like the hero shots are proof positive that they walk the walk.lol Hell first off who gives a shit about facebook? Second I stopped taking pictures of every coyote I shot 15 years ago. On the rare occasion I do take a picture and/or post it, it is something special atleast to me.

Facebook is trouble waiting to happen. The world has gone insane over social media. I warned my kids, and warned my Wife to "stay away from Facebook". Did they listen to me? Nope. I joined facebook a year or so ago because FoxPro asked me to do so. It didn't take me long to find out that everything over there was nonsense, so I shit canned it and deleted my Facebook membership.

If you keep your page private and only have close friends and family as 'friends' it can be a good way to keep up with what's going on. If you let every stranger and Tom, Dick and Harry into your private life, I don't see the point.

Horse Shit! At my age, I find out all I want to know about "what's going on" just by reading this board, and listening to my wife badger me.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on March 31, 2013, 12:15 PM:

Yeah, and did I mention the DRAMA? My daughter had a friend request from some guy she barely knows, (she's happily married for 22 years) and then she requested to be friended by him. Shortly thereafter, he unfriended her for some unknown reason and canceled his membership on her page. This caused surprise, doubt and worry, etc.

And, shit like that goes on every single day. What do you do if you get a friend request, and you take Chris S's advice? Just ignoring it can make an enemy. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Anyway, that's my take on it, reminding everybody that I never been there and don't really know a damned thing about it.

I have several family members who live on facebook, three generations worth. Every time we get together for Easter, Labor Day, etc they line up to scold me for what i have posted about them. I do not look at or post muchless have a membership on facebook or my space. I have to remind everyone of that multiple times at every family function i attend. If you want to keep a secret a secret don't post it, keep your mouth shut. Or if you want to say something to or about someone, tell them to their face or take it to the grave with you.

And according to the kids.... MFK is what do you want to do to someone you know or just met, Marry them, Fuck them, or Kill them. It is a Slick Nuts saying. Even the 40ish kids had to ask the Twentyish what it means.

Posted by CCP (Member # 913) on March 31, 2013, 02:25 PM:

I got on face book maybe 2 years back to get up to date pictures and events from my kids. They are 24 and 26. Not knowing any better at the time I accepted a few people as friends and sent a few. I may have 25 people on my page.

If I had it to do over again it would just be the kids. I don't really care for people outside of my immediate family (Wife, kids, sisters) to be on there but not going to un-friend the other 20. It sounds goofy even when I type the words "Like, Friend and un-friend".

I got pages of friend request I don't even look at anymore but when I did last I only knew maybe 60% of them.

Found this pic on the internet awhile back and thought it was fitting.

If someone hacks my Face book page they will find out my name and where I went to school.
Some people on Facebook if you hacked their page you would find out.
They are the Greatest person in the WORLD because it is all over their page how GREAT they are.

Heard that same thing for MFK.

Posted by Prune Picker (Member # 4107) on March 31, 2013, 02:27 PM:

According to my source, MFK is about like the use of "thats dope"*. It's just a conversation piece, not a statement of intention.

Speaking of the MFK diagphram calls, Leonard is spot on about them all being the same. I thought i would try the MFK call but that was before they were named that ,I think they were called TC calls. They worked fine but are over priced if you ask me. 10 bucks plus shipping for a double reed call. Now I am just using the carlton double reed that costs half the price and theres no difference to how it sounds.

MFK - in this case, as stated in their videos (about a million times too many), stands for "Made For Killing" and nothing more. [Wink]

And I agree with Chad, the idea that anyone would check out a Facebook page to assess someone's validity as anything especially what kind of hunter/predator caller they are, is asinine.

*Especially since I didn't know who the fuck YuckitupRed really was (by name), or give a shit.

Facebook isn't Wikipedia, that's for damn sure.

You choose who you let view your Facebook profile. If anything negative happens, it's your own fucking fault. I ignore requests all the time, if I don't know you, fuck off and if I knew you twenty years ago, fuck off too. Don't post anything important or personal, it's pretty damn easy to do. Some people keep track of their 'friend' count, I don't, if you feel the need to leave, see ya.

To any of you that think you cancelled your account, you're WRONG! because once you log back in, you're shit is still there! Stored on servers in limbo... Ha...

I've been on there since '08 and never had an issue. The only time any drama occurs is when there's an election and all of my Democrat friends become unbearable. [Smile]

FB Hint of the Day: Posting dead animals on one's page is not something I endorse, as it only invites BS from any sensitive 'friends'. If it's something "special" go for it, otherwise steer clear.

fakebook has re-defined and diluted the term "friend" to such a degree that alot of young people don't REALLY know what a FRIEND is posta be!
I care about my FRIENDS too much to resort to using fakebook as a medium to stay in touch with them.
A friend is to be cherished, not quantified as an indicator of prowess in some man-made, wacked out, phony cyber-medium.
F U C K dat shit...

Hope my FRIENDS had a Happy Easter with their loved ones!!!

Watch out Fred ! I just noticed Chris is a Facebook moderator.

He might ban your ass on FB.. [Razz]

Knockemdown, watch your step amigo! I'm not as laid back as LB when it comes to handing out pink slips.

People know what REAL FRIENDS are!
You ever text? It's the same thing. When you don't wanna get caught in a lengthy, never ending phone conversation, you text. I don't feel like calling 60 relatives, individually, to remind them that my son's birthday is this weekend. I post it on Facebook and tell everyone to send cash... [Smile]

Yeah, us old folks might. But go back and read what I typed in my post. I speculated regarding our kids who are growing up and using that medium to define 'friendships'. I don't agree with it and believe doesn't do shit to foster & nuture a true friendship, as I understand the term. No need to defend your use of it, you're a big boy. My concerns and criticisms lie with how it affects kids negatively, in my opinion. They don't know no better, and learn from US. SO, if mommy & daddy are fakebooking, then kids will do it, too...

Yes, I do, on occasion. Usually as a pre-cursor to a phone call though, or to receive nudey pics from a chick [Wink]

NOT a valid comparison. And no, ya can't see em!

Well, good for you then! Glad to see you've got fakebook figgered out and use it as a tool instead of a social crutch. You are in the distinct minority, I reckon.

I actually remember my beloved relatives' special days, don't need any reminders. Maybe I'm silly that way and don't rely on fakebook to 'nudge' me when to give a shit about a family member.
That's my point. fakebook makes it just too easy to be lax in maintaining our personal relationships, with both 'friends' and family.
Once again: F U C K dat shit. I'll keep using a phone, and if I don't have the day in my head, a daily enjoyable gaze @ Dave's calendar reminds me who's b-day is next...

Again, glad you've got the fakebook demon beaten.
But none of those justifications are worth the hassle, for me.

Umm? Fred, THAT'S DOPE!

Spread the word, Fakebook rules!

Say, what do you think about Chicago being named the best Pizza City over New Yawk? That's gotta hurt!

Now Fred, FB aint all that bad. Ive actually tried to find you on there. [Big Grin]

I use it to connect with folks that are not my close personal friends. Like the boards Ive met some great folks on there. Just take it for what it is, just like these boards. I see some cool stuff I would never see if I were not on there. Some mighty fine folks post stuff on there that wont post on a message board. There is a whole other group of coyote hunters there that you wont see anywhere else. Never any drama or BS to wade through either.

I aint gonna lie, I was just like you Fred. I thought FB was for fags. Give it a whirl, you might like it. Ill be your first friend on there. [Smile]

I've got mixed vibes regarding FB ? I signed up about a year ago to keep track of my daughter. Wound up deleting my account, then @ the urging of my sister, re-activated it last winter.

Haven't been there in a few weeks,suppose like anything it's what you make of it.

Although not having a cell or I-pad, not knowing how to text, ect,ect..keeps my life pretty simple. I choose to sit @ a 'puter' when time allows or mood hits me anymore.

LOL... Facebook.

I swore I'd never get on there but after learning its a legal way to stalk someone, I joined.

Actually I got on there to keep tabs on a few of my friends then got suckered in on our 30 year HS reunion group. Gained a few hundred "friends" then realized why I haven't seen em in 30 years and unfriended the lot.

It's a fun way to learn how stupid some people can be and you don't have to spend time listening to them tell you what they had for lunch.

I probably should delete my account but it is an easy way to check out friends of your kids or grand kids. People post the stupidest things sometimes.

Jeff, I don't think its ghey, just don't have any use for it, and the positives don't outweigh the negatives for me. I get enough of a fakebook 'contact high' 2nd hand to know enough to figger I ain't missing much. Don't begrudge anyone else using it, but it just ain't for me...

If I had children, damn straight I'd be on there monitoring their accounts!
But alas, I'm single and Pokey can't type, so remaining as blissfully ignorant as possible ain't hard...

Smithers, if only my apprehension was a resistance to technology! Then, I'd have alot more money in the bank instead of spending it on the latest & greatest in recreational gear!!!
Embracing a more traditional approach to human interaction has nothing to do with being lost in the past...

Leonard, that deep dish Chicago deal ain't real pizza! Thety just fill a pan with all kinda crap, sprinkle cheese on it and put it in the oven. It's good, but it ain't real pizza...

Was that too many "I"s in one post???

My dad is on FB and he won't do email for shit.

He and the rest of the clan seem to keep up using it...He does like to BS as alot of barbers do....He is still cutting hair 2 days a week at 83 years old...

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on April 01, 2013, 11:11 AM:

Kelly, maybe he ain't there for the huntin'?

Fred, if you're single, it'd be a good way to pick up some babes.

The Wolf? Shit, negro, that's all you had to say...

I hope when I'm 83 I can make it to the bathroom by myself, let alone, cut some hair.

Count: 3 I's and one myself in 45 words for me... Oops 4.

Heck Chris, you dont even have to be single. Seems like if you got Married on your status it just spurs them on more. If there is one bad thing I would say about FB is it could very easily be a home wrecker.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on April 01, 2013, 12:55 PM:

Shit negro, that's all you had to say...

I might maybe have to scope it out after all. At my age, I need all the help I can get.

Btech, I hear ya. That's the bad thing about it; all those girls you knew in high school, now divorced, clamoring for some love. Lol.

Don't try it Leonard, it's the devil. Really, it's a web crawler, and invasive. Anyone that's steered clear this long should stay away from it.

Jeff, that first sentence I wrote came off wrong, should have been more specific. I was referring to what I see of co-workers & others using fakebook as a time waster and social outlet. That part of fakebook just ruins whatever positive and entertaining content thats also available...
From what you mentioned, I am most definitely missing out on some pretty cool huntin' stuff on there. I'll have to do without enjoying it, cuz the rest of the enchilada ain't worth taking a bite.
Sorry if my wording came out bassackwards!

and +1000 to what Frank wrote!!!
I'm not comfortable with feeling like a 'subject' in fakebook's testing medium. In some strange way, I feel message boards are alot safe medium for interacting with like minded individuals...

Who needs Facebook when you can get all that drama right here? (me)
I can't get the spiders, crawlers, contact list hijacks, keystroke loggers and all the sex you can handle at this joint though. Lol.

I know it's a huge circle jerk of look-at-me's and STANs, but I'll stick to Facebook to find out who is taking a shit and when.

Posted by btech29 (Member # 4148) on April 02, 2013, 09:05 AM:

Fred, if I had it to do over I wouldnt join Facebook. Its just another place for me to waste my time. I agree on the gathering facts or "spying" too. Im sure Im already on the "hit" list because of my right wing rants. On the other hand us Facebookers sent a pretty strong message on gun control so I guess its not all bad that they monitor us.

Has anyone ever googled their screen name? Crapola! Ive said some pretty harsh things over the years that I can never take back. Im going to tone things back a bit moving forward.

Posted by Semp (Member # 3074) on April 02, 2013, 07:19 PM:

I use Facebook to check some gun related sites. I use a junk email address, fake name, fake everything and don't accept friend requests. If I want a friend I'll get a dog.

Posted by Eddie (Member # 4324) on April 03, 2013, 06:09 AM:

Never been on face-book I run a tire and muffler shop for the last 19years, I heard enough bullshit to last a live time don't need to read about it when I go home. I get a kick out of reading what happens here from day to day.

I'll have to give TA credit he's a fighter it doesn't matter what you guys throw at him he keeps coming back. Kind of like Rocky in the movies, not to bright but tough as nails.
