re: Just heard Rory's comments about Bryson.

This isn’t a manufactured dislike like we had between Bruce and Bryson. This one feels like they could actually square up if they saw each other in the locker room.

re: Has anyone had to move their elderly parents in with you?

We’re considering tearing out the new tub to install a walk in shower.
That's a great idea. Just making things more accessible will help tremendously. Walkers and wheel chairs obviously help but the main thing is just being there for that piece of mind, although lots of elderly will prefer to ride it out in their own homes as long as they can. Problem is that lots of elderly hate the thought of being dumped in a nursing home or don't have the money for more personal care. Sometimes there is no other option.

re: Saban's worst loss at alabama

I know that loss on the surface seems pretty bad but it actually was the wakeup for a team that had yet to embrace his process. It actually laid the foundation on what he was gonna end up eventually building at Alabama. So that loss really needed to happen. ULM just got lucky enough to be the one to give it. They also got to capitalize on it by putting up billboards in Monroe that the Bama faithful got to see as they traveled to Shreveport for the Independence Bowl.
The NC loss to Clemson has to be the worst beating but the loss to Utah in the Sugar Bowl in 2009 was pretty damn ugly as well. That team had a damn good run up until they faced Florida in the SEC and then proceeded to get their arses handed to them in the bowl game. What made it worse was the Bama guys talking outrageous trash beforehand.

according to someone I trust completely, zebra was the best meat he ate in Africa,
I didn't care for it all that much. Maybe watching it get skinned and it looking like a horse (or donkey) made it a turn off for me. I have a hard time thinking that anyone would rate anything over Kudu. That is possibly the best tasting meat out there.

Never had axis.
You can order it and have it delivered. I found a place off IG that sells it straight from Hawaii. I guess Axis are like pests over there and this outfit that sells it will go on a massive hunting expedition from time to time for their supply. I am always informed when they have a restock or basically when their team goes out and goes pew pew all night. In fact, they usually have a drawing for people to come from stateside to get on the hunt. Company is called Maui Nui or something like that.
Meat is obviously pricey but not crazy. They sell it an all kinds of cuts.

Never seen them in Saskatoon. How recent was this? I guess it doesn't really matter for us, we don't bring any birds home anyway except the last day a few years ago we hunted an afternoon duck field before we were to fly out the next morning. We killed a Mallard/Pintail hybrid. Just couldn't work out getting it prepped in an ice chest for air travel when we were already running behind. Gorgeous bird that was already colored out. It stayed in Canada.... :wah:

Man Nilgai can take a lot of abuse from a big rifle and act like they aren’t even phased. I’m not saying a 270 won’t kill one but all the guides I know that run Nilgai hunts will not let their clients use much less than a 300 Mag. Shite I watched a video of Keith Warren putting a couple of rounds from a Barrett in one and the bull ate both before collapsing.

Nilgai is the best and you get a lot of it. If it's a meat hunt, you can get a cow for a lot less than a bull. Sounds like you already know about Axis. Those are really the only 2 I would truly consider really good tasting. I actually have become addicted to Axis meat. I get it delivered year round from Hawaii. Oryx is kinda meh to me although the one I shot was old so that probably had a lot to do with it.

I think you can only use this once if I am not mistaken so if you ever might need to use it to get a DWI erased later in life for an even worse driving decision I would just pay the speeding fine.

Yes, St. Jude is a legit giveaway, it's not rigged.
Yes, know someone that won it up in Monroe. The giveaway is completely legit. All of this is spot on.

Mandatory Appearance: Under Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 32, § 57, speeding in a school zone explicitly mandates that the driver must appear in court.
I got one going duck hunting in Lake Arthur a few years ago. It was about 4PM and I knew it was a school zone but thought it was past hours but no, the trooper's watch and mine obviously didn't sync. I was actually doing less than the normal speed limit but I guess my Texas plates didn't set well with him.
Went to court in Lake Chuck and trust me, there will be about 50 other yahoo's that are there for the same thing. A bunch will be from the same day so yes the ticketing officer will probably be there. I guess they lump all of the speeders into one specific court date and they move you in and out like cattle.

I will never light 100 mallards again in a group down here in the deep south. But it will happen every trip in Canada.
Probably multiple times a hunt if you are on the X. Down here, you may get a few birds to take a look running Mojos, but up there they seem to work them like they did when they first came out. I guess it is the fact you are hunting birds that haven't been pressured all the way down the flyway. Plus, you are probably hunting some birds that were hatched only a few months previously.

Now I know i definitely don’t ever want to hunt or visit Canada.
Probably the last opportunity in duck hunting where you can get 100+ Mallards to decoy right into the spread. Also, having huge groups of Canada Geese and Specks work to a call and not be super spooky.
It's a place every duck hunter should have on their bucket list. Problem is, there is nothing like it stateside so once you taste it, there is no substitute. The only duck hunting even remotely as thrilling for me anymore is Mallards working into the timber.
Well hotel prices in Monroe are up because of the workers in town for the META project. I think they actually come down on weekends when they don’t work.
