10 years ago today I met THE Ray Atkinson. Hard to believe its been a decade.

http://forums.accuratereloadin...?r=44210591#44210591

I was going to send flowers to Ray today but Primrose Lane Florist and Gifts in Filer ID have disconnected phone lines so I will just have to come up with something else. How bout I just post a couple of pictures. Since mule deer were how we formed our acquaintance maybe I could post a few pictures. I believe it was the phrase "208-234 inch bucks with spreads exceeding 40 inches" that got the ball rolling so I'll take the time to do something special for Ray. I'll post a 208" buck, a 234" buck and a 40" buck as a peace offering

208" from this year...



234" buck...




40" buck on the hoof...


Anyway, Happy Anniversary Ray

Hard to believe it has been 10 years. It was a classic thread. That thread and the one about fast twist barrels were the best. The fast twist had guys going to met each other and have a bat fight.

I been on the forum 12 years how time flies when is having fun.

At risk of being the odd man out here
I think those Bucks you posted Drummond are outstanding!!!

Here is my favorite line from yours and Rays exchange
"This guy is a firey old cuss that called me every name in the book, threatened to kick my ass and sue me. Once we got past the pleasantries we actually had a great talk. "

I'm calling bullshit, that top buck won't go an eighth over 207-5/8", typical outfitter

Are you sure you did not photoshop these from someone else's website? Were these really from Mexico? Did Doug Chester Esq approve of this message?

You are wicked to the bone!

Oh, the happy memories of that thread so many years ago!!!

Lots of bad spelling on that thread...

Laughing my freaking azzz off.........

Drummond nice one, and the flowers were a great touch

you are a bad man Drummond.....

Lol! I had to do something nice for a 10th anniversary.

When I read that old thread I chuckled when I saw what I told him in one of my first responses...
"You have not seen my kind yet, I assure you". I hope he didn't think I was kidding

Damn, I wouldn't want you on my back trail.
Damn Nice Deer thou

Good stuff Drummond, even better deer.

Here is my favorite quote:

I just called you Lindsey and got your answering service, hell your just a loud mouthed kid with a squeeky voice, about Derons age I suspect...Im coming my friend, West Texas justice.

I'm guessing at that point he had never seen Drummond!

"I come from a different world than the internet, I'm not politically correct, and say whats on my mind, I prefer to look a man in the eye when I degrade him, but thats also politically incorrect these days..I guess I grew up in a different world...I hope he and I meet someday".


Your the real deal Ray! I just caint understand why you aint showed up for your own Anniversary. Then again, how long did it take you to dig that fossil of a thread up Drummond?

Didn't take long, a friend emailed me the link a week or so ago and said "can you believe its been 10 years?"
