: "Just as I got home from work the UPS man came up to my door and handed me a reallllly long box.
: The KILLDEER has arrived!!!!! I bellowed out.
: The startled UPS man looked at me as if he was getting ready to brace himself against a Jesse Ventura body slam. Holding out his electronic
: signature recorder as a sheild. Snatching it from his hands I scribbled my name as fast as my stubs would let me. I thanked him and said I been waitin a long while for this babe, as I pointed to the box. Rushing in the house I opened the box and hugged my custom made KILLDEER for the first time of many to come.
: THANK YOU! I will enjoy it for years to come. I've always wanted Hawkeye's (DDL) Rifle ever since I saw the movie. Finally, I have it!
: YEA!!!!!!
: Thank you again. You've helped me out alot!
: I think Bill is going to be reallllly busy, if he isn't already, very soon. Thank you for sending the Killdeer Kare page, I needed that.
: By his own hand, ..."
: Bill, a GREAT job! Thanks!
: All of you out there ... Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day!
: That's my last post for today ... off to enjoy MINE!
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all!!!
This is to all of those who see the beautiful picture above of the Killdeer!. I would just like to say how proud I am of Bill and how neat it is to live in the same house, I sit and watch him
build this gun day by day, it is an art work that has truely come to life when it is done. Great Job !!!!!!!!
