Well……. we’re all liar’s, aren’t we Buzz. So that just makes Jim, and you I are the same in that regard.
I’ve averaged points with Jim, twice. Never been bilked. Far from it. In both cases, Jim made sure I filled my tag before he filled his. The only B & C big game animal I’ve ever taken was on a point averaging hunt, with Jim, and he was with me when I killed it. I had something he had to offer and he had something I had to offer. On our second point sharing hunt, we scouted together on five different weekends, both driving hundreds of miles to get to the unit, from our homes.
Now, having said that, I never knew Jim until I decided to respond to his offer to average points, five years ago here on MM. Since that time Jim and I have spent a lot of time talking hunting and hunting regulations, while hunting together and over email. We certainly don’t agree on every regulation or every cause and effect, but I can honestly say, regardless of whether I agree with his point of view he always has a rational reason for his opinions. I respect him and appreciate his friendship. Clearly, your relationship has been different but just because it’s different doesn’t mean he’s any different than you or I. Like I said, we’re all liars and you can’t convince me Jim is any more or any less worried about himself than you or I are. The very idea seems prosperous.
Regarding his list of “wouldn’t you” in this thread, I don’t agree with all of them and when I get more time I’ll tell him and you and whoever why but he has just as much right to express his opinions as you or I do…….
I’m posting this not attempting to annoy you or piss you off, I’m attempting to let others know that not everything you accuse him of Is entirely factual and it seems to be a deliberate attempt to mislead. So…….. you say he’s a liar and I say, no more or no less than you or I or the rest of us MM eccentrics.
Have a great weekend buzz.
