Mike, Can I refer you (and other posters) back to one of the most ignorant threads (and that is saying something) I have seen posted on this forum.... watch MJines go "full retard" ![]()

Yes I made it clear I don't have all the facts. To me it still looks bad when one guy goes on like nothing happened the other is left fighting with his ins. company to take care of the problems cause by someone else. Maybe I just look at it different but maybe instead of spending thousands on a hunt that money should have gone to help stu get his life back on track first. I have no dog in the fight either way but the way I see it was handled I would not use any service that tim pushes to sell hunts. Your free to think it was handled ok and I can think it was handled wrong. Only way I change my mind is when stu says all is good and everyone did all they could to make it right. | |||

I need to just remember what Winston Churchill said, never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man, and leave you on ignore with Trax where you both belong. Without using profanity or invective your efforts to be witty fall woefully short and your contributions to the dialogue are always sorely lacking. Mike | |||

No one knows what Tim has done for Stu. Neither does anyone know what others have done for Stu. Those who think Stu has been short changed by Tim - and admittedly, no matter what is given to Stu, he can never get back to what he had. But, those who wish, are free to give Stu whatever they wish, he deserves it. It is a much better idea than taking cheap shots at Tim. | |||

I have NFA insurance of 5,000,000 the only costs 9.95/year that is for the following: Canada’s National Firearms Association's Liability Insurance program offers $5,000,000 in coverage for only $9.95 per year for each NFA member insured! The policy offered by the National Firearms Association covers an individual or club for $5,000,000.00 in liability coverage. This is NOT an aggregate amount. It is $5,000,000.00 in Liability Insurance for any claim. Each individual, or each individual member of an NFA insured club, is covered for: Legal hunting activities Legal bowhunting activities Legal range shooting activities Legal range archery activities Legal fishing activities Legal re-enactment activities Anywhere in the World! PLEASE NOTE: The NFALI does not cover activities involving horses or businesses. If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic.

So as far as 505 is concerned, he is simply pissed of that Tim Herald has not suffered enough and thinks Mr. Jines is not bright. That is what your contributions to this thread have amounted to. Good thing Andrew Baldry vouches for you. I fail to get most of your points especially in light if your absence of facts. Jeff | |||

Well I am just muddling along with my 5th grade reading comprehension here. What bothers me is that a number of nefarious individuals have been attempting to make a horrific accident more than it was. Perhaps even implying something requiring a level of punishment? I take umbrage with this whole line of reasoning as I stated before, it could happen to any of us. This website is better put to more positive use. For example are you aware that it was arranged for Stu Taylor to travel to the United States and receive care from one of the finest Orthopedic Surgical Centers is the world at no cost? THAT was arranged from a well known AR member. That is when AR is at it's best. Stu chose for whatever not to accept but the offer was gold. I am glad he is better and I truly feel both men involved.

The flaw in your logic Jeff is that it is premised on the idea that Trax and 505 gibbs actually care about the situation. They do not. Their motivation is solely to incite controversy. There have been multiple different ways established since the accident to actually do something positive for Stu and others like him . . . I welcome being proven wrong but I would be shocked if either have done anything in that regard. No, this is all about just keeping the pot stirred. Otherwise why would they both show up a thread describing Stu's progress and his recovery to drag the discussion back to assigning blame and casting aspersions? Mike | |||

I hope Stu adapts to his new life and his family and friends will accept and support whatever comes his way. Stu is the only one who can say if whatever settlement at hand is agreeable or not it may be good to hear from him but that would totally be up to him, maybe he will address his situation I have followed this incident to see how it was handled . First of all I believe it was an unfortunate accident accomplished by someone who had self belief he was beyond mistakes, but I will have to say when one chooses to go after or lead someone into an extremely dangerous situation a reasonable man can only accept that things can go wrong...like maybe the bull gets the both of them or the guide shoots the client or vise versa My initial disappointment with TIM was in his first post on the accident not soon after typing what he alone had done he is asking other people to donate money to cover his liability, and that is sad. In light of the fast exchange of information in this day and age Tim could not have kept a lid on this so it is always wise to release this info before the internet piranhas get smell of it. Many people would have sent money for the sake of a young man well liked individual suddenly gets a life altering injury that not only robs him of what he likes and how he supports his family without Tim asking for it, it was not his place. Like anyone else who has caused a wrong if he has met his responsibility for the wrong, then... live and let live...but only two people can address this...maybe one or both will step forward or maybe it is no one business but theirs NRA Life Member, ILL Rifle Assoc Life Member, Navy | |||

I don't think Tim ever thought of asking others to cover his own liability to Stu. What he did was ask our community to help Stu in whatever form we could. And I think he was right in that. Many individuals did help Stu - in whatever form they could. Some have gone as far as offering him free medical treatment in the US. Tim was working as hard as he could to get Stu as much help as he could get. It really is not very fair for those sitting on the sidelines and throwing accusations at Tim without knowing all the facts. As I mentioned earlier, why don't you accusers step up and do something for Stu? Otherwise you have absolutely no right to pass judgment when you are ignorant of the facts. This could happen to any of us! | |||

So, now that we have covered the above, I have a question for you. It would appear that you agree with Jim that my posts on this subject have been "10% fact and 90% opinion"....
And Jim apparently has conceded that I covered 100% of the facts 3 days ago....
What have you added to the substance of this thread? What have you offered other than rashness and rush to judgement (towards GOB)? Misrepresentation and speculation from that misrepresentation of my and others posts? A willful blindness that someone my be making a valid point that has nothing to do with the issues (or non-issues) that you are using to detract? Oh, and don't forget your disaccreditation of another mans character based on the same misrepresentation and speculation described above (fairgame). Well done Jeff. Oh, I almost forgot, my statements about MJines mental capacity, admittedly speculation. However, based on his reliance on demotivational posters that don't even make sense (don't get me wrong, there are some good ones out there), I am sticking with my original assessment. "reverse Psychology" "never wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty but the pig likes it"? What does that mean? Was that actually something you (mjines) found or did you just cut and paste in a saying at the bottom you have used in the past? Just wondering. | |||

Saeed, When I was brought up I was taught you cover your responsibility and when you have used up your resources and only then asking for help is the only way a respectable honorable individual should reach out. When you go to the public within hours or days he would have no way of knowing what the responsibility would eventually cost. He himself attempted to minimize the injury by saying he would be OK and up and at em shortly. This can only lead one to believe he was attempting to protect his resources...period I have had a few associates who where shot in the line of duty and both ended up with disabilities as a result and I can say money was never a concern until a determination was made as to whether or not life would be altered .

Silly Man 505, Why do you think I am merely referencing you? Reread the thread. The words "stupid" "courts", "culpability", were used. Other absurdities like "hero worship" and "negligence" were tossed about. I am obviously very fond of Andrew Baldry. You insult a friend of mine. Mike Jines. What am I hiding from? Not a damn thing. What have I brought to this thread? Perhaps nothing as my point was to inject some humanity into to blind arrogance that was flying around. And remind everyone that a devastating accident could happen to any of us no matter how safe we try to be. Again I feel for both involved. Feel free to twist this response up as well. Jeff | |||

Mike I am not taking anyone into thick brush with my double unloaded. My quote states that I will only load if I feel that it is warranted. This includes but is not limited to long grass, river edges and poking around Lion kills. It is a bit of a hassle unloading and loading a double during a walk but it makes for good practice.

'accidents' happen in many fields by people operating industrial equipment,vehicles,aircraft,vessels,firearms,medical procedures,etc Then one determines if it was: A./ through no fault or misconduct of their own, OR, B./ IF it was an unfortunate event caused especially due to ones carelessness, negligence & ignorance. >_Now, I don't how you choose to view it, but I view it that person is entirely responsible for the safe handling of their carried firearm in what ever environment-circumstance they have consciously chosen to take or operate it in. Imagine IF the airlines only hired 'fair weather' pilots, -how many more serious incidences their would be due to air crews who could not safely handle variations in meteorlogical conditions?....Would you accept the airlines just calling it an accident? Id say you like many others, would expect the air crew to know how to proficiently handle the aircraft in varied conditions. and any incident that seriously injured you or a loved-one due primarily to negligence or carelessness of the aircrew, would not be so easily dismissed by the victims or their families. I find it hard to believe you would nOT be outraged over such, considering you blew your royal stack.. ![]() as simple & insignificant as the Hilton hotel that would not serve you lunch a 1/2hr outside the restaurants opening time.... ![]() You have condemned and officially dumped the Conrad-Hilton -for ever now- based on that meaningless hamburger incident, correct?

African carry looks really cool. Take pictures. Nice if you are at the head of the stick, but you're not, generally. I carry my rifle two ways, two deep in the stick for the most part. African carry is unsafe. Slung on my shoulder if I don't think I'll need it immediately. More usually, I carry it in the crook of my left arm. Muzzle up, easily accessible. naet. ow if tru | |||

What's your point? The incident being discussed here has NOTHING to do with the African carry! This incident occurred when a buffalo surprised the hunting party in close quarters by charging through the group. Stu, the PH, fired at the buff and as Tim attempted to fire at the buff as well while walking backwards, he tripped and his shot hit Stu. None of us outside the hunting party were there but this is the way Tim described the event and this description has not been denied or contested by Stu or his father who came here to AR on Stu's behalf. Nothing to do with the African carry at all. | |||

I have always liked the information part of being on AR. This thread is a perfect example of why I wish I could find some of the information elsewhere. Common courtesy and civility is lost on many of these threads and there is more interest in "one upping" the previous poster than making a relevant point. Do any of you really think this is serving any relevant purpose to the hunting community at large? Focus some effort on something useful and if you can't figure out something to do with your time other than taking potshots at each other then let me suggest you take a kid or a wounded vet hunting, fishing or shooting. Don Trust only those who stand to lose as much as you do when things go wrong. | |||
