Of the good ol'days, I would like to start a thread bringing back some of Rich's finest moments on AR. To join in, all you need to do is go to the link below, find a couple of "Richuistic" words (Ka-Bar, gut, slimy, dead, etc.), go to the advanced search, enter the word and "Idaho Sharpshooter" as the author, then copy and post the link here. I miss you Rich, Hope your giving them hell wherever you are. Poor Jeff Rann | ||

Tell him I said "hello" and that he is missed. Don't think I have seen a poster use the word "de-nutted" since he left. This place used to be an adequate substitute for hunting camp.... | |||

I never had anything more serious than a civil, albeit vigorous, disagreement or two with IS, on this forum or off. But it's not enough that he got himself banned, huh? Now we're invited to pile on and kick him when he's down. Nice to see that some of us are above that. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

ISS was kinda like Roy D Mercer with PTSD, I was never threatened by him but for some reason he thought he knew me personally, must have had me confused with someone else. He was going to stop by and have lunch on a road trip he took every year. He never made it, would have liked to met the guy | |||

Well in all fairness he is a psychopathic, murder fantasizing wackadoo. Other than that he is a great guy. | |||

It's interesting reading some of these 8 year old threads and seeing posters say, "AR has really gone downhill and all the good posters are driven off". 8 years later posters are still saying the same thing. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

I think you have it wrong Michael, This thread was truly meant to bring back some of the good times, humor and one of the most colorful, entertaining characters who has blessed this forum with their presence and insight. While it goes without saying that some's "red-ass" here is not easily forgotten, and they will no doubt surface on this thread and express their continued disdain, it was intended for those of us who used to come on here to see what craziness had been posted. Some around here need to lighten up, you are not that important, and even if you are, the bullshit that gets posted here definitely is not. | |||

Yes he was.

Reading that old thread reminds me of a lunch I had with Brian Mancini in Feb 2016. He had been hit with an IED, blind in one eye, had a million surgeries, a titanium plate in his head, etc. He started a charity called Honor House, with a mission to help veterans suffering from PTSD. I chatted with him a few times after that lunch, but never did much after that. He was the subject of the lead 60 Minutes story on Sunday. Killed himself last year; scientists are studying his brain to understand the effects of blast waves on the brain. | |||

Convo = Conversations. I also agree. Kim was a well reasoned and temperate voice on a sometimes crazy and hotheaded forum.

Didn't he do the optical allusion picture with the 100+ pound ivory out of Him that was really 20 or something. That picture was perfect. Joyce and I were on a Pronghorn hunt in Colorado with Aaron Neilson and I showed him that picture and his reaction was priceless. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

I miss Kpete a lot more than I miss Idaho. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

HaHaHaHaHa, I don’t think flack from that April fools joke bothered him at all. It seemed to me he quit posting after feeling the need to defend Boddington on this forum. I heard some fabulous stories about him at Pedza camp. I’d really like to meet that guy. Schadenfreude "If you are not working to protect hunting, then you are working to destroy it". Fred Bear | |||
