    A young fox has been seen hanging out on the trap line at Elysburg.

    Should have paid more. Probably would have gotten a better bank

    The Fox is a major donor. Wink wink. He will have his usual preferred bank for the weekend.

    Wildlife on the trap line brings up an interesting question? We have swallows flying around our club house. What is the ATA rule if a bird is hit inadvertently on the trap line, is It a lost bird or a shoot over? -- no dead bird comments, the clay didn't break.

    LOL- you guys turn a cool picture of a fox on a trap line into the bank assignments? Those folks really are living rent free in your heads, aren’t they?

    Also- looks like he has his choice of banks- just like the guys holding guns in the pictures did.

    Why would it be a lost bird if a live one was hit and the clay target was missed? Lost target.

    I said it because I had a bet if I did you would come running to defend that their decision to pay off those donators that bought a choice of the better banks.
    Thank you for doing what I knew would happen. I’m not going to take the guys $20.00 but I did show him I was right.

    And how do you know those guys CHOSE those banks? Are you one of those two people?
    Were you on that squad? Or was that just more BS about how it didn’t matter if people PAID to have better traps.

    What did I say to defend the decision to pay off the donators? I just mentioned that you guys can’t get over it, so maybe you owe your buddy $20. Based on how you did at the casino, you should be able to afford it.

    I am not one of those guys, but no one is told they have to shoot where and when, which has been the case in Elysburg for a long time. It’s just more random now because they draw banks.

    The bet was that you would come here and post something.
    And, to no one’s surprise, you did.
    So, you DON’T know if they were shooting where they wanted.
    You just “assumed” they were. Maybe they wanted one of the preferred banks.

    Oh, well- that’s different than what your last post said about me defending anyone. No worries, I’m sure you’ll be more clear in the future.

    Nope, I don’t know- I did assume it. Insert the “you know what happens when you ASSUME” cliche in your next post, I can tell you’re chomping at the bit for it. They at least look happy being in Elysburg- did you make it there this week?
