[QUOTE="slymule, post: 4106, member: 1169"] Hmmmnn....lets see we've got a - "I would never shoot around my horse" - "I'm not trying to weasle out of this but this is really bad timing" - "I wasn't trying to start a bickering match" - "I think I might come out fairly well on the endurance part" **but then he wants to use the mustang instead of his personal horse** - "I learned a long time ago not to bet if you don't understand all the details" - "I refuse to shoot around a horse...or you'd likely end up knowing why we call him Doc" - "maybe we could get together and go for a ride instead... - "Doc is fat, happy, and shoeless and hasn't been ridden since December" - "I wouldn't bet against somebody as willing to bet as you are!" Thats not bad so far guys...wait, I think I feel a tear welling up in my one eye...nope my mistake, must be this darn cold. Let me address a few points, answer a couple of your questions and let everybody know my real intentions - QuietHunter - don't know the one legged man that trains cutting horses, sorry. Don't know the guy that retired from the FWS (Is this Fish, Wildlife Service?) although I know three or four people up Kannah Creek Road, one who is an outfitter. I can always be talked into going for a ride (Dominquez canyon)especially if I'm allowed to brag on my mules good qualities. I'd never try to talk you into a Llama! WyoWhisper - my panties aren't in a bunch and I knew you weren't trying to start a bickering match. I'm not without a sense of humor either,and the Marlboro man scenario would make a funny commercial. I just wanted to see how fast and hard you guys would backstroke from this challenge. Now don't get me wrong, I'm more than willing to make this wager (thats why I made it), because I could also use a good action for a gun I'm wanting to build. But most importantly you can believe since I named the events, I was figuring my mule wouldn't be beat in ANY of them. I ride a pretty exceptional mule. Darryl - you're right its always been that way between people who like horses vs. people who like mules. Good advice you gave those boys - I do have a mule that does those things VERY well.

If you took the wager, you guys would of been shooting QuietHunter's big *** large calibre handgun and I'd be shooting my S&W K-22.

Bragging time - I've got a pretty exceptional mule, theres NO QUIT in her and she can run like a raped ape and stop and spin on a dime. If you know anybody in the country that plays polocrosse THEY ALL know "Jolene", because they've either seen her, heard of her, or had the misfortune of getting "smoked" by her on the playing field.
