Hey guys my name is Sebastian but all my friends call me Sebi. I thought I'd post a little about myself here. I am 17 y/o 5'7" 150 lbs. We were living in Ireland working at a boys camp for this last year and just moved back about a month ago. I like sports especially football and soccer and pretty much anything outdoors I like doing:). One thing that I like to do is catch wild animals with my hands. I've already caught 3 deer and 3 beavers (I got the beavers while noodling) and a whole bunch of other stuff.
I got my GED and I am going to work at a home improvement business.
O yes and I like trying to figuring out my gokart. That thing has given me all sorts of grief and so this forum is a cool find :). I've already learned a lot just lurking. ;)

No....there is something very cool about catching wild animals with your hands....I do it myself. ...it's pretty challenging as not only does it take very good reflexes....but a lot of mental alertness. .....and some very specialized skills......

I'm still trying to figure out if he is very good.....or a huge liar....because it's not easy to down a deer at 100yrds undetected with a rifle.....catching one with your bare hands. ...almost impossible. ....catching 3 by the age of 17......HIGHLY UNLIKELY! !!!!!!

Plus....those things are dangerous. ...IDK....I'm calling BS on this one. ....post up some pics.....or pick smaller lies.........

Lol, no that wasn't me. But seriously Poboy, you are not the first one to doubt me. I've had people go all over the deer looking at the legs and neck (snaring or trapping) and not finding anything, still not trust me. If you've already made up your mind then a pic won't help, however, I will post a pic or two anyway once I get back from a trip I'm on. On a lighter note, what animals have you caught?
Thanks for all the friendly replies everyone! :)

Poboy,around here, it would be fairly simple for to get close to deer. There are a few that live in the "woods" at the intersection of the street I live off of and where it dead ends into F.M.2234. I have hand fed deer around here on numerous occasions, and yes,they were "wild" deer,not pets....
All in all, I got to believe him, cause I know it's possible, even for some schmuck like me, to at least get close enough to touch one.... If you ever want to try, come on down and ill show you some spots full of deer... All year round...

It's a mash up of his mentality and a cartoon. :lolgoku:
Fix things the poor boy way, and act an @$$ like south park's kartman......

Actually the Kartman part was accidental........but you're right. ....it works....hence my signature. ....which only someone who had seen 'Southpark' would get.....it's not a direct quote....as this forum would not allow that language. .....

Edit: Kenny got killed in every episode. ....and the line was...."Those bas7#rds......they killed Kenny!"

Yeah, I got those crabs while I was in Ireland. They were about 100 yards out and about 15 yards deep. The crabs averaged 1 1/2 feet in diameter! Pretty easy to catch actually.
Here is a pic of a wild sheep I caught on a mountain behind our place in Ireland. That thing was treacherous to catch, they always stayed around cliff faces an such.:cool:

Thats so crazy. I caught fish (rainbow/brown trout) with my hands when i was a kid in a stream in my backyard. Just reaching under the banks and feeling for them. Meanwhile, my friend would be downstream with a little v-funnel made of rocks and a net catching the ones that tried to get away. We would microwave them because we weren't old enough/responsible enough to use the oven, lol my mom would always get sick of us bringing home like 10 of the biggest ones we caught and say "if you catch it, you cook it" we didnt keep that many afterwards.... and yes. microwave trout doesnt taste very good, but it does taste better than fish sticks!
