GILLE SUIT

Post by plinkin pete »

EVER WEAR YOUR GILLE SUIT INTO TOWN :mrgreen: SURE TO GET SOME LONG LOOKS, EVEN QUESTIONS FROM LITTLE KIDS LIKE; DID YOU GET HIT BY A CAR? OR DO YOU HAVE ANY GOOD CLOTHES AT HOME?








How do I get this into my address box, having trouble, is it size or what?

Pete, you need to go to your User Control Panel and click on Profile. From there click on Edit Avatar ( if that's what you want this picture for). I don't remember what other steps you'll need to take from there, but I figured it out so it can't be that hard. When I wore my suit to town I had trouble getting cars to yield to me when I was in the crosswalk and a dog peed on me otherwise no problems, why do you ask? :roll: :wink:

Best take a tin cup with you. It gives people a place to put their pennies in when they mistake you for a hobo. :)

No one seems to notice much but I did get run over by a lawn mower when I took a nap in the park. :)

I don't even wear one while hunting, because I am worried that some fool, (if they did see me) might not relize that I am a human and throw a shot at me. The locals may not be used to seeing someone in a getup like that. :lol:

Well the reason is it makes it easier to sneak up on those elusive bushes. :wink: :lol: :lol:

Trust me you dont want one the only reason I am making one is they are great for hunting yotes. Other then that they are hot heavy and a pain in the tail. But this topic has been a lot of fun so thanks for posting it. :D

Thanks they like getting out and shooting when the weather is nice and there arn't cartoons on TV. We got some snow it is supposed to be a high of 6 later in the week. There is some property to the east of me that is full of dogs need to get a hold of the owner so I can wack a few of them.
