    String change fail

    With the advent of cameras in cell phone, I have adopted the practice of taking pictures of most everything I am going to take apart when I think I might have doubts when putting it back together,

    NV auction tags conflict? NDOW chairman is in the pic? Raffle these tags, not auction!

    Whether opportunity increased depends on the state and the species. Here in CA we have opened a number of new sheep units over the past ~15 years which has in fact expanded opportunity. Quick math question - if you 1) auction a tag for $300K and the entity that held and marketed the tag gets 5%...

    NV auction tags conflict? NDOW chairman is in the pic? Raffle these tags, not auction!

    That is a really poor analogy, to the point it is hard to modify it to make it topical to this discussion. Perhaps if you posted that the closed road was a private-public partnership, the rich payed vast amounts of money to use the private road, and those funds were used to expand transit...

    NV auction tags conflict? NDOW chairman is in the pic? Raffle these tags, not auction!

    It seems like you may be putting words in the mouths of the creators of the NA wildlife model, given Shane Mahoney - a noted supporter of the model - disagrees. “While some may find this type of conservation funding contrary to the North American Conservation Model, the Model’s renowned...

    NV auction tags conflict? NDOW chairman is in the pic? Raffle these tags, not auction!

    No offense, but you don’t have the numbers in front of you because they likely don’t exist. You can compare the revenue from states like AZ that both auction and raffle the same tag, and the auction tags generally out-raise the raffles 3x-4x. Never mind that raffling 2 of the same tag will not...

    NV auction tags conflict? NDOW chairman is in the pic? Raffle these tags, not auction!

    No, raffle tags generate far less revenue to support the resource. How exactly is that a conflict of interest, or did the internet just tell you it is and how you should feel about it?

    Shipping Food to Alaska via AmazonPrime - need ideas

    I think they taste better, but aside from that I believe the Peak meals generally offer more calories.

    Asking for Closed Road Access

    I was going to post this, thanks for saving me my precious WKR time. An intern asking management for permission for something that management likely can’t grant and that could jeopardize the project that is providing the opportunity for the internship just smacks of ignorance and entitlement.

    Shipping Food to Alaska via AmazonPrime - need ideas

    I’ve found Peak meals to generally be better than Mountain House, for whatever that is worth.

    It’s time to tell all the whiny hiny countries to shut up!

    If we are going to take discredited international sporting entities at their word, those of you who are relying on the eligibility findings of the IBA (which retroactively restored the “unbeaten” status of one of its country’s promising amateur boxers) are no doubt equally as supportive of...

    It’s time to tell all the whiny hiny countries to shut up!

    Are you suggesting that when the internet tells you that you have to be upset about something, you can just ignore it? That’s crazy talk.

    Tikka T3x Hunter Accuracy

    Are those manufacturer specs? Seems to me I’ve read here that ring caps need to be in the 23-25 in./# range to reliably keep the scope from shifting.

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    It will be interesting to see what happens, but my weekly update from Morgan Stanley (just received) indicates they believe there is a very low likelihood of emergency action by the Fed.

    Ever have to carry your dog off a trail?

    85 is actually approaching dangerously hot for dogs, especially thick ones like a lab. We have dogs die most every year on local trails here in the Bay Area due to heat, and it seems like labs unfortunately seem to lead the list.

    Stock/bond allocation

    Endowments usually continue to bring in donations from alumni and have a consistent annual payout % for perpetuity - both very different fact patterns from individual retirement. Not to mention tax considerations.

    Stock/bond allocation

    Endowments and individuals will generally have very different financial goals, so I wouldn’t presume a strategy that is appropriate for an endowment is appropriate for an individual investor.

    Getting equity out of rental property

    It sounds like the OP is buying a fractional equity stake in the firm he works for, not buying the entire business.

    Is the Neck too Small on this Mount?

    I usually try not to be that guy, but I tend to agree that it doesn’t look like you got the cape from your buck - and the neck measurement aspect may explain why the neck looks small. Just look at how the shite around the nose and corner of the mouth cuts from cape to cape. Edit: the brown...

    Am I the only one who hates RF pouches on Bino Harnesses?

    I agree. I do have a pouch on my bino harness but only to keep my RF and binocs together for travel. When I am in the field, the RF hand around my neck on a short piece of cord (just long enough to fit over my head). Much quicker to deploy and to drop when done and with less movement than using...
