I mean ,not many people get a Boone and Crockett score on a buck. That’s a once in a lifetime kill.

He was a remarkable man. Showed the way to Tennessee. Read a great book I believe he wrote about his exploits. Forgot so much of it. Was a long time ago

Met one of his grandkids recently. Great guy. You wouldn’t believe me. He’s a top 10 country hound. He’s really good!

I read a 400+ page biography of Boone last year. The man was totally fascinating.

Really informative. I did not know Madison was initially opposed to adding the Bill of Rights, but he eventually realized it was the right thing to do. He kept his promise and pushed for the Bill of Rights in the 1st Congress.

Just imagine how the federal government today would be running roughshod over We the People without the Bill of Rights protecting us from them.

I gather that you don’t like Fredrick Douglas. You think liking him is woke?
