Gliders > Slope Soaring
Hello from the U.S.
Brian:
Hi,
We are not at all squeamish here.
We shoot deer and deer-hunters.
We do not like to discriminate.

Hey Tracy and welcome. :)
Nice pics of models there... i especially like the Bird of Time cradled on the telemaster... would love to give that a try someday.
Was involved in shooting myself for about 5 years. Your son looks very happy, i bet you were a proud man that day. :)
Anywho, really enjoyed reading this thread.

And btw... i have seen wild deer on our local slope Tounntine (Gerry b has already mentioned it to you). I have stalked them with camera only tho :wink:
I remember my first ever glider flight under Gerry's supervision. I built a Spirit 100 from Great Planes. Was 1999 i think. I was a bag of nerves but once i got the hand of it i managed to fly it for about 40 minutes solo.. I thought i was going really well until i got it into some sink and crashed landed it half way down the valley... hehe... no damage tho. got lucky.
I had my video camera that day and I took some nice flying shots... then i saw 3 Deer crossing the slope a little further up from us and got them on camera... never forget it.
cheers

Chris and all those offended,
Please forgive me for posting the hunting pictures, as for training my children to take delight in the killing of animals, that is certainly not my intention. The smiles on their faces are not for the killing of the animal, but in knowing they've helped provide meals and to help take some strain off of the continued tightening of ones budget. We take hunting very seriously here as a means of providing for ones family. Everyone, and I mean Everyone who hunts here in our state, is required to complete a week long hunters education course on the safety and ethical killing of big game. It is a very stringent course that teaches the handling of firearms, when and when not to shoot, and a written test at the conclusion of the course. I've taken them out to practice shooting on targets and KNOW their abilities, I also make sure I get them close enough to make an ethical kill. So the delight is not in the killing but in the helping out of our family. I am very grateful for being able to use high power rifles to hunt with as it makes the taking of big game quick and efficient. Believe me, I take no joy or delight in taking the animals, I do however, enjoy the fact in knowing that we have a freezer full of meat and know where are next meal is coming from. So again, to all those offended, please forgive me for the post it won't happen again, respectfully FF
