I had a wild Nauga in the sights of my muzzle loader diring the last hunting season, but I let him go because it was an immature Nauga. The adults have dark brown or even black hide. The one I was looking at through ny scope was almost a blond color and thus clearly a juvinile. Alas, it was probably a once in a lifetime sighting, because they can hide so well.

Hmmmmm . . . scope on a muzzle loader???

I'm also informed that the acrylic sheep don't have the problem of shrinking when it rains and therefore are much easier to care for by the sheepherders.

Chris.

but said acrylic sheep are known to have extra sharp hearing so the sheepherders are reputed to be full lime kilters...

I will head off & sit quietly in the corner for the rest of the evening

Hey fellas, love the humour but would apreciate some serious answers too.

Sorry about that...
I learned a long time ago a hard learned lesson about tires. I had to buy two tires for the front axle of my car. I had a choice between some very expensive tires that had a good reputation for wear and a cheap set that "looked great" and I decided to buy the cheap set. Well needless to say the cheap set wore out before the old tires that I already had on the rear axle and I still had to buy the more expensive tires for the front to replace the cheap ones.
When I buy a kilt I pay the premium price from a kilt company that has a good track record and I still have the first kilt that I ever purchased and it still looks like new.
Spend less and get less. Buy a Yugo but don't expect folks to think that it's a Porche.
These are of course my own opinions but you wanted some serious thoughts.

On the other hand, are you going to wear your $500+ kilt mowing the lawn, working on the car, etc. I don't think so. The low price kilts have their place and only buying the expensive kilts limits you.

I think someone read into my post something that was not there. My post was not to denigrate other kilts or what have you. If there was a problem that someone saw with my post and was offended then that's their problem. If they have such thin skin I wonder how they wear their kilt. Wearing a kilt should be done without a chip on the shoulder and not always in anticipation of someone making the wrong comment and hurting your feel bads. Mowing the lawn or working on the car are some very bad examples, I would not wear my kilt to do either. As far as I can see that's just showing off. I have a hat collection that I started over 30 years ago, should I wear some of my more unique hats just to show off or should I put on a baseball cap and get the lawn mowed or the car repaired?
Wear what you want to wear, I for one will have a small number of traditional kilts and keep them in servicable condition and you can have as many as you want and do whatever you want in them.

I must apologise for my friends across the water, they do get carried away!!!

Is there a website for these kilts? I'm a bit suss about the price too, even in Scotland I saw cheap "kilts" for the tourists that were little more than lightweight skirts.
but let me not judge a matter before I've seen the product.

Guy's the situation is this: My wife has seriously objected to me wearing my amerikilt so much that I have not worn it in the last 8 months. (hence my absense from this forum for a fair while). She thinks I have given up on the idea, WRONG, I am just patiently waiting and watching what is coming on the market in the way of kilts. I was thinking of trying a traditional looking kilt such as the stillwater etc. The stillwater standard will cost me around $130- 140au to get here as opposed to the one from kilted inspirations being around $80-90.
The object of the excersise is to see what her thoughts on a traditional kilt on me are. This way at least if she isnt happy wearing it I havent spent a great deal of cash.
It frustrates me sometimes that she wont accept the kilt wearing thing but I love her too much to really risk starting a big blue over it.
She looks after me in other ways, It was our 11th wedding anniversary last week
and she suggested I go and get myself another motorcycle as she knows I have missed riding, so one cant complain too much.
I feel a bit funny still reading and posting on this board even though I'm

not kilting very much but you are all such a great bunch of guys that i miss reading the stories etc. so if you dont mind I will still call in from time to time.

Take care all. Cheers Andrew
