RE: How should we handle this?
 

Sir, how close are you to my grandfather and I? Thank you for the disrespect.

I have TONS of respect for my grandfather. We do almost everything together. He didn't start hunting until 6 years ago when my father and I bought our first property. He got into hunting to spend more time with family, which is something I have taken advantage of for the last 6 years.

CALL2MUCH. its your grandpa and yes you love him and respect him. BUt remember you are HIS grandson, and I assume he loves and respects you just as much. So I suggest that you just sit down and talk with him, whats the worst that could happen? If he saysno, thenyou are back at square one, if he says yes, then well, problem solved I dont think you are way off base or anything, you are just trying to optimize your hunting opportunities like we all do. Best of luck with your situation buddy.

Rockin,

Thanks for your insight. That is exactly what I am looking to do!

Good hunting!

I've got an ex. but you would have to bring a lot of hands because there's a lot of stupid:D

RE: How should we handle this?
 

I get up and piss more respect first thing in the morning than you show the man that made your verylife possible.[:-]
You are unable to see the most valuable thing in a humans life,that being time it self.
With luck your short sightedness will not cause you the pain that many that have comebefore you have made and that being the most greivous of errors any human could make,and the one that can never be forgiven.
I truly pitty you and your inability to realize what you have before you.

RE: How should we handle this?
 

Sir, you would know because of one post I made about trying to help make OUR hunting better? Keep your pitty, I do not want it. You must be one of those people who jump to conclusions.

RE: How should we handle this?
 

No conclusions to jump to,if your pops needs a place to spook deer & flush turkeys,have him get a hold of me ,I would love to have him. :)

bawanajim,

Its good to know that you are the one person on this earth who has never gone to a sporting event, mowed the yard, went to the beach, hunted or anythign along those lines. I commend you on your ability to turn down all of these things in order to cherish every moment of free time you have with your family and elders. If we were only all so unselfish. You know, one thing I've learned from my father and grandfather that many agists seem to take foregreanted is the fact that death isn't selective. In this post, many people have been bashing call2much saying his g-pa could pass away anytime and what not. In going to a highschool where in my 5 years 10 students' lives were taken (300 person school), I find it appalling that some people seem to think that young people are immortal. Do I try/want to spend as much time with my grandfathers as possible? Of course. But, I still feel its important to remember just how fragile life is for all of us.

As far as getting up and "pissing respect," if its as hard for call2much as is it for me to take you seriously with such a poor vernacular, I'd say you're fighting a losing battle;)

RE: How should we handle this?
 

Just one question for you.


Have you ever heard of the man who felt bad for himself about not having shoes , until he meet a manwhom hadno feet? [:o]


You Have a great weekend, Jim

RE: How should we handle this?
 

My grandfather has class. He will stay with me. :)

Family first, remember?;)

RE: How should we handle this?
 

Wahoo being so young I wouldn't except you to understand the trivialization being made by offending an elder for a moment of pleasure derived from the chance at killing an animal.

RE: How should we handle this?
 

The way you guys treat him, you might not want to let him know about my offer.;)

RE: How should we handle this?
 

You guys? Now you are talking about my father, whom you have never even typed to?


"Never argue with an idiot, the people watching may not be able to tell the difference"

I am done.

RE: How should we handle this?
 

bingo, my point proven again. Did I not say that what I learned about treasuring life I learned from my father and grandfather? "being so young..." Come on man, where did you get this eltist attitude that simply being older than someone makes you much more deserving of respect? Judging by what you've said, you would have no problem with an elder disrespecting a youth? A person is a person is a person regardless of age, gender or ethnicity.

RE: How should we handle this?
 

And I'm sure you've been told over and overhow veryspecial you really are.;)

RE: How should we handle this?
 

I would do anything in this world to have my Grandfather back just to hunt with him one last time.

I'm sorry but there are more important things to worry about. It's just hunting. IMO

RE: How should we handle this?
 

Ok, one more and I'm through. When a doctor fresh out of med recommends to an elderly patient that they should begin walking, is that disrespect? Or when a young mechanic recommends that his grandfather get his engine fixed, is that disrespect? Its beyond me how it can be misconstrued as disrespect when all the man is doing is recommending something that will better his grandfathers as well as the entire family's hunting chances.There is no way that the accepted ideology is that elders should be able to do whatever they want whenever they want just because there older. Respect is mutual in families in my opinion, atleast thats how I was raised.

I'm not sure how thar relates at all. I guess I've just given some of this stuff a lot of thought, several of my colleagues and I get together every couple weeks to talk about stuff like this...philosophy nerds i suppose:D

RE: How should we handle this?
 

I would let gramps do his thing...take pics of him and enjoy him....I hunted lots of years not understanding wind and scent...and still harvested....just my opinion.
