Are you Lucky?

[kallieb]

Odd title I know but fitting for the moment. All day I've been badgered to add $5 to a payday pool. Kept putting it off, so finally at the closing bell I threw in my bit. I won!! No much, but enough to give me a smile - $125 CDN.

I never win anything, so this is a big surprise.

How is it for other's and luck? Any big windfalls out there?

[Skiz]

Found $1100 when I was 15.

Closest I've ever come to winning any money.

I did however win a company raffle 2 years ago. Bought 2 raffle tickets and won twice.

A Winchester .243 and a Remington 12 gauge.

[chalice]

Nope. Unlucky as two fucks, me.

Was out for a drink with workmates one Friday last year. Got off the train. My house is like 3 minutes away from the station. Got about 50 yards up the road, turned the corner and got beat over the head with a bottle. Two fucking chavs beat the fuck out of me for no reason whatsoever.

I was bleeding profusely from a head wound, broken collar bone, fractured wrist and 4 broken ribs.

Left it until Monday to tell the cops. I was 12 hours outside the deadline for a criminal injuries claim. So I didn't get a bean.

Cunts.

and with those you "won" all the other prizes too? :shifty:

[snowultra]

i won 125 american, in vegas once.

other than that ------a big nooooooo

[100%]

I don't think it is about luck, its just timing and settings.
There are moments where everything just cruises perfectly.
project proposals, money, love, life etc.
I have had my fair share.

Didn't win any ammo. :dry:

[Skiz]

Cheap fkers.

[kallieb]

Well...maybe giving a gun AND ammo at the same time might not be a wise workplace act, especially in a post office.:O

Well Skizo, I for one think that was one nifty gift. I guess it takes a goofy northerner to appreciate texas-style gifts!;)

.243 is a good gun, very fast.

[Barbarossa]

I think I'm pretty lucky.

I don't have any particular examples, it's just a general feeling I have :smilie4:

It's a great deer rifle for short to moderate ranges.

I'll be taking that as well as a .306 on a four day hunt from the 26th - 30th.

Can't wait. :)

[kallieb]

Squirrel hunting are you? ;)

[Skiz]

:lol:

[N4riX]

where do you go hunt Skizo? You should come up to Canada for a big buck. I can hit them off my deck with my 7mm.

[Aaxel21]

I found a quarter in the vending machine. I'm rich.. :D

From chatting to kallie, you have the same whitetail that we have down here. :unsure:

I grew up hunting on an enormous lease outside of Blanco, but now I hunt just outside of Tarpley, Texas.

Put this in Google Earth and that will take you right to the cabin.

29°43'10.79"N 99°26'21.91"W

It's a large, mountainous region lease. A couple of the stands require ATVs to access.

[Mr. Mulder]

£3.68? Not bad :smilie4:

[bunny67]

i won £450 on the lottery hot picks 2 years ago but that all ive ever won so i guess im not that lucky

Quite right, the cunts shouldn't be on your deck in the first place.

nice place, looks like prime hunting. do you have elk there? and what kind of quads do you own? i just bought a bombardier renegade 800 and love it.
i hunt here 50°54'34.84"N 99°48'39.10"W but fly farther north too.

[Something Else]

I've generally always been lucky with stuff. I win things, land ok when I fall....escape serious injury when I shouldn't, Avoid capture when I've been bad. I'm just a lucky bastard. :cheers: luck. :smilie4:

[Cheeseman1208]

I guess I'm lucky, I always seem to find money on the ground when I go places. That and I haven't gotten shot, maimed, or beaten in my life.

How does one "...seem to find money...". Shirley one either finds it, or doesn't.

Shoot that thieving bastard.

Think of the birds.

Nope; no elk. Elk are in higher elevations - northern New Mexico, Colorado, etc.

No ATV either. A friend has one that he's planning on bringing this year, but I don't know the type.

As for your location, it looks lush and flat. (Or is it really open?)

Must be super cold up there this time of year. :ermm:

your eye is sharp. yeah its pretty flat but it's the fact that its on a national park line that makes this special. my friend is a guide who caters to Americans for bear, deer, elk, moose, ducks etc. so there's no shortage of game.
And cold is an understatement my friend, it's fucking frigid.

[Skiz]

I can't even imagine.

The coldest temperature I've experienced was here in Texas about 4 years ago when it got down to 19. It was miserable. :ermm:

That's like July temps in Canadia.
You wouldn't be miserable up there, you'd be dead.

[N4riX]

lol that's about what it is here right now.....and its actually pretty nice. it can dip to temps -31 to -40 F throughout the winter but average around -4 F

[N4riX]

68 to 95 in the summer

You'd have yourself a Texcicle.

Put him out in a clearing like a salt lick and the hunting would be fantastic.

[N4riX]

rofl that's a good idea. hey skizo would you like to come on a hunting trip

[clocker]

Apparently, at least judging by the results of the latest IQ test, I'm very lucky.

If true, this says many things about the value of intelligence AND luck.
