    MO Success!

    9pt buck, dressed out at 152lb. Sat about 5 hours in the stand yesterday, dragged him way farther than I liked and uphill to boot. Monarch 170gr FP out of a Marlin 336, SiCo Hybrid and a Sig Tango 1-4 on top. Currently waiting on processing as her majesty refused to allow me to hang a deer in...

    I gots the Covid.

    A lot of folks doing the "just a flu/no worse than the flu" make me think they've never had the flu. Not the "I got a bad cold cough cough sniffle" but the "sweating in bed, passed out in the bathroom, vivid nightmares and watching my temperature because I might need an ER" flu. Flu kills a...

    New to reloading.

    Get on a notification list, buy in bulk when it comes. I will buy a pound if I'm experimenting with something new, otherwise it's 8lb at a time. Don't be scared to step outside the most popular stuff, as long as you're consistent in your loading and it does what you want.

    All day sits. Who does it?

    I do. If I have to take a little biological intervention I'll aim for noon, typically a little slower. I download a bunch of podcasts the night before a hunt and just listen to something in one ear to keep my brain occupied so I don't drift and forget to scan. Leave one ear open because...

    Our leaders and the stock market.....

    It's been a few years since I slung boxes but they started as at minimum wage and acted like it was a favor to get a nickel raise after 90 days. Who determines what wage is warranted it a philosophical question. I prefer to answer with an observation. As technology advances, three things...

    Our leaders and the stock market.....

    It's less below minimum wage and more less than a wage that the work merits. Meatpacking, for one. No shortage of reporting on the way that meatpacking brings in H2B visa workers, doesn't sponsor their extensions or help them stay legally, and if anyone speaks up about conditions in the plant...

    Our leaders and the stock market.....

    Keystone XL was to import Canadian crude. The US was a net exporter of petroleum products, but only because we were importing loads and then exporting refined products. We were still importing 19% of our crude from the Middle East. OF course if you look at 2019 there was also a sudden drop in US...

    Our leaders and the stock market.....

    Well help me see the light on oil, direct payments, and Afghanistan then. I'm open to being convinced by evidence.

    Our leaders and the stock market.....

    Inflation is very much a product of the logistics issues, which is stemming from having tripped over our own shoelaces with the pandemic response. So lets go through this list and you tell me what you want the government to do. Debt: Describe an actual problem instead of just saying "debt" and...

    Our leaders and the stock market.....

    The previous administration had 4 years controlling the seante and executive branch to work out an infrastructure bill. Strange how after 4 years of nothing it took less than a year to get one passed. Some people are talkers and some people are doers. Trump was a talker and the GOO got behind...

    Loaning out equipment.

    I'm on the other end here, borrowing an climber from a friend this season. He offered, it's my first time hunting from anything other than the ground or a homemade blind. If I break it, he gets a new climber, no excuses. I have a friend I'm trying to talk into joining the brotherhood of deer...

    Misfire, the book about the NRA

    I didn't include the GOA because they're doing the same thing as the NRA, they're first and foremost there to represent the interests of the right wing and the 2A is just the cudgel to scare you into donating. For example, when they pretend that the president is going to sign a treaty that would...

    Anyone C-Clamp their press?

    I'm in the press to planks, planks clamped on camp as well. 2x6s work well. I have one bench that has a lip and I found that I could drill and bolt together a few scrap boards so I had enough on the top and bottom to stay stable.

    Misfire, the book about the NRA

    There are several other organizations vying to replace the NRA and have been for decades. NAGR, FPC, JPFO, even smaller groups like the Pink Pistols. There's hunting and outdoors advocacy groups that don't try to just act as a GOP recruiting tool as well. "Keep giving us money no matter how...

    Misfire, the book about the NRA

    "Don't attack the NRA because that's what the anti-gunners do" is a bad strategy. The NRA is corrupt and has been for decades. The NRA doesn't spend nearly as much effort on gun rights as it does trying to convince gun owners to join the GOP and support candidates who support taking the guns...

    WTB Lightweight deer rifle

    I have a Colt Light Rifle in .270 with Warne 1" mounts. No ammo, 6.5lb with the rings. Bought it on a whim and then decided to build an Encore shorty instead. $760 shipped and it's yours.

    Alec Baldwin shooting

    If I had Alec Baldwin money I'd be overlooking my fiefdom in the Ozarks instead of Excel spreadsheets.

    Alec Baldwin shooting

    And if he asked and the AD said "yes" then what? Did the director ask for a double check? The cinematographer?Co-star Jensen Ackles? Are they all also liable as well?

    Alec Baldwin shooting

    Once again, he was not *the* producer. He is a credited producer. There are 6 credited producers, one co-producer, six EPs, and one line producer. Alec Baldwin is the name you know because he's an actor, and I would bet my next paycheck his producer credit is for reducing his fee to work on the...

    Alec Baldwin shooting

    As I explained previously, a dummy round is inert. It is a bullet in a case with a fake primer. Unless the prophouse or manufacturer adds some feature that confirms that one if a dummy (marking, added weight, hole in the side unsuitable for filming) you can't tell the difference. That's why the...
