These are what I used on a whitewing hunt in south Texas last year. With modified choke, they worked out very well.

This reminds me, I need to order another case!
Prisoner or not, I really don’t see why anyone could let a man die of starvation.

My birds have basically doubled within the past couple of days! Just cleaned and filled all of my feeders. :nana:
Sorry for the loss of your friend….too damn young.
Suprisingly, I know none. Most of my family are farmers that hunt, so they live their life outside in rural settings most of the time. I can’t think of even a close call,

People keep saying that there are no rules, but that’s just not true. NCAA has a clear set of rules. However, the AD’s and Presidents of these schools refuse to back the NCAA or conferences



Absolutely true…even Finebaum says this.

The trouble is, everyone can find a crooked judge (who just happened to graduate from their state’s law school) to overrule the NCAA’s ruling.

Dump the fuel tank and run it dry until it stops every year at the end of the season. It will last many years, if you do that,

What if no watering during this drought? Will it die or eventually come back? Centipede also


Yes, it will. I have centipede and seldom watered during the 2023 drought (which was much worse). That drought actually killed one of my pine trees…but it didn’t kill my lawn.
Looks like the Detroit public school system is in line for some budget cuts…
I have no experience reloading rifle ammunition and just wanted to drop by and say you guys definitely speak a different language.

I read the whole thread and didn’t understand a single post so far! :lol:
I think that’s going to create some very shallow root systems. I would do something like water twice per week at 1/2” per time or even once per week at a full 1”. Nothing wrong with letting it get slightly dry between waterings.

Check with Boone's Hunting and Trapping here in Cenla



Man, I haven’t thought about that place in decades….I remember when Mr Boone started that business. I used to trap and sell my furs to him.

I think they ought to package all of the cancer vaccines into a single shot. That would definetly be worth getting,

re: People that get in wrecks????

90% of wrecks are caused by inattention….if you watch people as they are driving, they are constantly fricking with some electronic device. Phone, radio, etc.
Honestly, I thought drones had been prohibited over Tiger stadium for years. I have never seen one actually over the stadium. Heck, last year when we had a drone show at halftime, it was not actually over the Stsdium. :dunno:
