Anybody else keep getting these Hennessey Raptor ads? I can't afford a regular raptor (not that I would if I could) but I'd imagine anything with the name Hennessey on it makes it even dumber.

You were probably looking at automotive websites. I get some ads too. Mine usually have to do with naked Russian women.

No... but I you just jogged my thick skull about this site and the notification issues!


... I’m using an ad blocker, and I bet they have something in place that either gives me the middle finger on notifications ( which is fair) and/or the blocker is blocking something that is needed...

...I forgot about that, but it makes sense of the weirdness I see now

Nope I’m on my iPhone and haven’t put any special blockers on and I rarely get notifications either.

Oh and the other main reason I haven’t carved any decoys is I’m good for shooting my own decoys every now and then. No big deal if a Chinese mallard sinks but if I blow the head off a hand carved wood duck I’m gonna be pissed.

I’ve carved a few miniature ducks in the past, nothing real elaborate but kinda fun...

I made my porch stump end tables out of the limb of a giant walnut blowdown from the cemetery where my dad is buried and still have several pieces that I’ve thought about trying to carve something in... but I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to it

If ya get good at it you could probably sell the decoy carvings for a good chunk.
I rarely see any when out junk shopping and when I do they are too expensive for my tight arse.

What kind of finish did you use on it. Looks nice.

This whole area of NJ and especially Maryland is huge with decoy carving. There’s a show in Atlantic City every year. Some of the old ones go for thousands.

You couldn’t just let me have that one… LOL

It’s just so flakey it grates on my mind trying to make sense of it...

I noticed Google won’t bring up results on this thread when I use it to search just BYC either ...me thinks more tinfoil is needed

I look at parts occasionally and day dream but nothing to do with Ford a raptor or Hennessey.

I do like carving but it’s not something that comes easy to me. I think I just like playing with knives really. It just seemed like a good fit. Lol
