    My initial PM included my phone number. He responded that he didn't like to use phones and wanted only contact through TGT. OK, weird, but I tried that. Couldn't get him to set a place or time. My thought was that it might be a fake ad - like "Send me the money and I'll mail it to you." Probably he wanted to sell to a friend and wasn't honorable enough to say that. Regardless, I had to submit feedback in order to warn others to be careful. It could be that he's legit but just weird.
    You just never know. Honestly, that is one of the things I love about our get togethers, where we actually know each other.

    Honestly, that's what I've liked about business deals I've had with other TGT people. A couple of them stay in touch with me because we had a good interaction.
    Hah! No doubt. Besides the business deals, some of my best friends are from here. You invite people for a BBQ and then BANG - people love you. Seriously though, relationships are made by face to face contacts. I'll throw @Hoji into the pit - met the guy - maybe at a Hicksville meet a long time before. Somehow, somebody wanted a specific box of .38 wadcutters, which I happened to have, and he knew the guy. Met him in the middle of nowhere, exchanged cash & ammo - easy peasy. Shot guns, traded guns etc. with him since.

    Hold it down over there - I'm thawing venison to make chili this weekend.....gotta brown 12-15 lbs of venison. Gonna cheat with this batch, though, an' add some spicy pinto beans to kinda make it stretch out a bit. Every time I make straight-up chili, it's gone in a week or less!

    Below was an 8-lb batch......

    15 pounds of venison? That's a LOT of chili! And then you're adding beans, so that means a lot of Greenhouse Gasses will be erupting from the New Braunfels area! If you're having a lot of people over, my invite must be lost in the mail!

    I was fixin' to make some chili this weekend, but the wife decided she wanted beef stew instead. I took the coward's way out and agreed to make stew. There won't be any beans in it, so there's less danger from potential fart ignition.
