I’ve noticed having a bad cell signal makes a big difference in the accuracy of what it’s showing you too.

Regarding Bill Kaz, I used to go to his gym in Auburn on occasion back in the late 90’s. I remember seeing him around town sometimes too. He was a mountain of a man, even at that age (50s?). Truly impressive. Certainly inspiring at my young age.

But I was reliably told that Bama is the greatest football program ever and every other team sucks compared to them. If true, why would the rush defense of these teams matter? Wouldn’t the greatest program ever dominate everyone they played no matter what?

In case anyone was wondering about the intelligence of Gump fans, Exhibit A

We had a very dry summer, which I believe is the reason why there are no acorns or apples where I hunt. Didn’t see many deer this October like we normally would. Hoping it’ll be better next year.

But I see you all beat me to it.

Carry on.

My family has land in Pennsylvania, and I’ve hunted there every year for 25 years. When I was a kid, you hardly ever saw bucks, much less a mature one. PA has around 1 million deer hunters every year, so all the small bucks got shot. Killing a mature buck was like winning the lottery.

About 10 years ago, the state put in an antler restriction, 3 points on one side (except for youth hunters). Now we see mature bucks like never before. 10-pointers and better all over the place.

This radical change in the number and quality of bucks has made me a believer in antler restrictions. If you want meat, shoot doe. If you want antlers to hang, there are many more bucks to choose from now. If you don’t care about the antlers, you can still shoot a 5-point and be legal.

The antler restrictions incentivize the meat hunters to shoot doe, which improves the overall herd health, while also leaving more bucks to get big. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Another factor I have not seen mentioned yet is the potential for the state to make more money off out-of-state hunters. Big bucks bring in more hunters, which means more money for the state to use to improve public land and purchase more land to be used for public hunting. Out-of-state hunters also bring in more money for the local economy. Hotels, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, sporting goods stores, etc. all get more money from guys who come in for the week to hunt big bucks. Those guys also shoot doe, improving the herd health.

Although, I do understand the “don’t tread on me, keep the state out of my business and let me shoot what I want” perspective too. But I like what I see in PA and support it.

I saw one while archery hunting in PA a few years ago. I thought it was a cat at first until I realized the tail was too long to be a cat. Picked him up on a trail cam the following summer and got a good look at him. Big damn weasel.

Apparently the state started releasing them a few decades ago. They’re the only predator of porcupines and the state wanted to reduce the population due to the damage they cause to peoples cabins. Cool to know they’re around.

Sorry if you already know this, but don’t shoot steel shot through them or barrel bulge potential. But you absolutely should use them to appreciate how well the mechanisms work

Thank you, I had no idea.

The McCallie entitlement in this city is astounding. They're all gold-plated assholes.

It’s called having high standards, sweetie. Maybe you should try it sometime.

I know a bunch of McCallie kids and every one of them is intelligent, polite, and hard working.

And then there’s you and your ilk, who talk shite about children on the internet.

There’s an old saying: “if everywhere you go people are assholes, YOU’RE the a-hole.”
