About this big
5.5 and 7.5 years old. Both P&Y, but just barely. I don't care one bit as the memory trumps the inches for me. I doubt I'll ever get another shoulder mount no matter how big. I don't regret doing it. The only thing I don't like is not being able to touch them. It sounds weird...
I'm always a sucker for these types of threads. I think I've posted all separately before.
2017: My first solo elk hunt. Bad storm hit and I had to change units for fear of getting stuck in my rental 2WD SUV. I hunted hard and on the last day shot the herd bull at 7AM in the morning. I begged...
It's pretty simple here in MD. You either own, lease, or hunt mostly overcrowded public land. I'm saving my money to own, so in the meantime I lease and hunt public land. I think the issue is population density and lack of land here in the East that might be foreign to you. Don't get me wrong I...
With Southwest airlines now flying to Bozeman, flying would be a no brainer for me if you're hunting anywhere within a reasonable drive of there. You get 2 free checked bags (my framepack, and bowcase) a carryon (my soft-sided cooler filled), and a lap item (my daypack filled with binos...
You make some salient points. Risk and risk assessment are tricky things. Fortunately, in this case we have some general numbers to go by. Consider this a game of Russian Roulette if you will. With COVID let's say there are 200 chambers. About 90 of these chambers are empty (e.g. you get it and...
Fair points, we don't know the exact answers to those things, but we can reasonable extrapolate from the rate of decay of antibodies. We do know there are significant amounts of antibodies out to 6 months for both mRNA vaccines. A booster may likely be needed in the future as is the case for...
There are no other cases of successful use. I wasn't pointing to efficacy data, but "long-term" safety data for this class of compounds. mRNA based vaccines were/are being developed for a number of other (e.g. zika) infectious etiologies before COVID came along, so from that standpoint we do...
While there are always unknowns, science has come a long way in the past few decades. It is utterly a miracle of science that we were able to genotype the virus, publish it's sequence and design a vaccine for it in record time. Before either mRNA vaccine was approved they both underwent very...
We know mRNA has a relatively short half-life and is not integrated into host DNA. Other than the lipid nanoparticle (which I honestly thought would have caused more problems), what are we concerned about? How long should we wait in the face of a pandemic that has killed over 500k Americans? If...
There have been tens of millions dosed with both mRNA vaccines at this point. What exactly are we waiting for? If your logic is sound you should be equally afraid of the mRNA of the Corona virus and it's long term sequelae (which are well documented). I don't understand the cognitive dissonance...
