BREAKING HIDES - Already Tanned, Stiff - What to do now?

[TheGDog]

I've thought about it. Their fur is crazy soft. Y'ever wore some gloves with Rabbit Fur lining them? Feels soo nice!

FUN STORY: My dad was a mechanic... and back in the day... he once had to work on this pimped-out Stutz BlackHawk.

Stutz BlackHawk - Wikipedia Entry

I remember the interior was lined with Rabbit Fur.

It was all kindsa pimp! Funny thing was, we went to go pickup my next older brother from his Jr High. And the thing of it is... Glenn E. Curtis Jr High, at that time at least... was WAY WAY WAY predominantly black. And it was funny as hell watching the reactions of those black kids to that particular car. Was like a page right out of a black-sploitation film. HaHA!

Soooo.... G Dog, when you figure out the rules of the internet, please let us know. You're way off the deep end.... more than usual. I made a joke after telling you what I know. You got butt hurt... period. You make me drink...

Why you yellin' at Nick anyways... you should be yellin' at me. Ed F

 

[Baller]

This is about to be goooooood…..!!

 

[Bowman]

The only way I have done it, is to scrape the heck out of hide then dry with salt. To cure, then apply glycerin.
Is this right or wrong.
Now give constructive advice.
There something to be said you get more flies with sugar than with vinegar.
Why can we all be cool, nice and respectful. Constructive advice is good. But don't throw stones if you have a glass house. Shhhhhhh.

I'm makin' you drink? Well Salud! My friend! I'm getting a little "Absente" minded (Absinthe) over here myself this evening!

Why would I yell at you? I was asking you for help?

You replied, you made your quip. I kinda know to expect that from you. (Doesn't mean I have to like it though.)

I dunno... it's just a little frustrating when you're asking a serious question and all you get back is Grab-assery... at least it is when I thought the other person (you) indeed was capable of telling me what I needed to know. Apparently I was wrong on that one. (Note, I am not upset in the least typing this response here, so please don't read-in any upsettedness that isn't there)

As for the flexin' on Nic. Meh... Well... that kinda falls into that category of "This is an A-B conversation, so why don't you go and C yourself out of it." type of deal. You know what I mean? It's like one of those moments where you're like "Bitch, I don't remember anyone askin' you a Got-Damn thang!" Again.. falls back to that respect thing. You can't be lettin' fools check you with little snyde ass comments here and there. Otherwise those mofos start gettin' a little too comfortable thinkin' it's ok to do that shit with you on a regular basis. And personally, that shit don't fly with me. I won't do that with somebody else unless they've started something and taken it there. And in a written form of communication like posts or emails... if I do joke with somebody, I make sure it blaringly obvious I'm joking... or.. I'll even make sure to let them know I'm joking, such as adding "(hehe)" at the end of it so they know I wasn't being serious with whatever the comment was.

And I'll admit... it was entirely possible that health issues the other day were influencing my sensitivity levels. Y'day my BP was 156/90 and I was a lil feverish at 100 F. A couple of back-to-back nights of insomnia... followed by making up for it with strong coffee the next morning so I can function and code (and I'm more sensitive to caffeine than most folks) no doubt contributed to levels of curt-ness in my responses.

Larry....being in the medical field for 25 plus years...i have a serious question? Could you be possibly overdosing or underdosing? Meds are tricky Larry, monitoring is key! No hate here...just here to help!

 

[TRICER]

You know this forum truly wouldn’t be the same with out Larry. The guy is growing on me. I am still yet to read any of his posts past the first three sentences but he is growing on me.
I truly hope he smokes a bear this year while rocking a full gully suit. Hats off to you sir for always finding a way to turn nothing into a huge post.

It ain't about "lightening up". It's about being respectful.

Somebody shows you reverence... shows you respect... shows you that they value your knowledge, experience and input... and because of their respect for your time and input.... they know they don't want to burden you with twenty questions.... so.... they go out of their way to basically present you with a detailed question that's as close to a Yes or No answer as is humanly possible... and y'all think it's cool to respond with "throw some rocks in a dryer"? Really now? Seriously? That's just a damn shame. Hmmph... bet you'd all be real happy if some teacher answered your child like that in a school one day. Eh?


RE: "Why don't you just try your method out and let us know how it works?"

Well... as you well know... it's quite a bit of effort to score these hides and hike'em outta the forest. You can imagine a person not wanting to blow all that effort by making an incorrect step and in one fell swoop EFF up all that work and effort that went in to getting and processing that hide so far. I have to imagine you could sympathize with how upset a person would be with themselves if they ruined a hide by getting a step wrong in the processing. Yes? You can't un-take-out oil applied to a hide, right? So you can imagine a person wanting to be as sure as they can be before they proceed to these steps, Yes?

Hmmph... it's funny... y'all wanna complain about how hunter numbers are dwindling... and yet... when a newer person... mind you, with proper respect and courtesy... consults you on something... y'all basically diss 'em and shit all over'em. Well there's a formula for success, huh!

I'm sure there are several other forum posts that are lighter and less serious in nature, where all that Grab-ass-tic Tom-Foolery would blend in just fine... so why...oh why... would you go out of your way to respond in such a manner to a serious and thoughtfully laid-out
question in that way? Just makes no sense. And isn't even funny.

There’s plenty of mutual respect on this site, but you’re not going to earn any by complaining about all the things you're never going to change with your internet campaign to try and make everyone do things your way. There's plenty of mentoring going on on this site and because of this site too. Just because you can't lighten up, roll with the punches and benefit from it doesn't mean other "newbies" can't. A lot of us regularly take newbies into the field and help to get guys started in hunting. This community is what it is. We have fun, we help each other, we give advice when we can, we make jokes at each other's expense sometimes. So, lighten up, and benefit too. Or don't.
