    Mask Requirements

    I don’t get it. People should WANT to do the right thing and protect the elderly or vulnerable. You better believe that if this virus was killing the young, the vast majority of older people would do ANYTHING they could to protect us. And in this younger, self centered generation, we as a whole can’t even wear a stupid mask to protect them. the WORST case scenario is that masks only help prevent the spread of this virus a little bit. If we could prevent the spread by each infected person by about 1/6, thiS pandemic would be slowing rather then exponentially growing. its easy to act macho, or buy into the myth that this pandemic is some political ploy until it’s your loved one that doesn’t make it. And the way things are going, most people will probably lose someone they care about to this. We have. And a good number of those could be prevented by slowing the spread by wearing a stupid mask. It’s not that hard. All we have to do is swallow our pride, stop politicizing this pandemic and Follow some VERY simple but effective common sense practices to protect our own.

    Bighorn Fire

    Thanks man, me too. Lot of family history up there. Where our place is located, it could have already burned. Probably won’t know for a month. Aspen fire all over again

    Uh was already great habitat.... but I appreciate the optimism. We have a cabin up there, and I’m sweating bullets. Today’s the moment of truth

    Anybody interested in trading for a Springfield XD40 subcompact? Looking to trade it for a smaller single stack, something like a glock 43,42 or similar. .380,9mm,or .40 would be ideal. I could add cash if necessary. the XD40 is in perfect condition, have everything it came with, box, mag, mag with extension. Maybe 100 rounds through it. im in Tucson

    Legality of Orders

    Wuhan 3869 deaths ( plus whatever China hasn’t told us,probably a lot.) NYC 13,600 deaths. ....200x? there is ALWAYS a political angle in everything. I just don’t think this is a conspiracy to take our rights. rights stepped on? Yes probably. Should we be concerned about it? Yes for sure. Is this a big conspiracy to take our rights? No I don’t believe so, at this point.

    Legality of Orders

    I’m not assuming my opinion is the correct one. It’s just my opinion, and there are a lot of people that can’t handle an opinion that’s different then their own. I share the same concerns as you and others on here. I just don’t think that’s what’s happening. I also don’t blame you for feeling the way you do about it. I agree with the free market system, and that there are better ways to deal with what’s going on.heck I agree with most of what’s been said. I just don’t think it’s a big conspiracy to take our rights away.

    Legality of Orders

    For example. I read coach’s post. Well written, well founded concerns that I share. Truly something that I agree we should be concerned about. Something to really think about. but my opinion is that I don’t think this is a conspiracy theory to take our rights away. I think the government is trying to react to a pandemic unlike anything anybody alive has ever seen, and keep this from being absolutely catastrophic. my view on this could change as more information comes out. I’m not entrenched in this view. I’m open minded enough to let the evidence guide my opinion.We still know so little. But this definitely isn’t just another flu, I can tell you that from what I’ve seen personally.

    I do not think people should be getting arrested etc Darryl! I think people should want to do the right thing to get everyone through this pandemic! not doing our part is no different then if the country refused to mobilize to supply our forces during ww2. No different.

    Legality of Orders

    I hope you’re right that a lot of people already had it! That would be best case scenario! But we just don’t know. I want to open up as much as anyone. Smartly. And we just aren’t there yet. Erring on the side of caution vs potentially letting this thing get way out of hand and killing a whole lot of people is an easy decision to me. Darryl I was with you. Me and a large group around me got sick in February. Checked all the boxes of covid. Even lost sense of smell. We were convinced. Antibody test says I did not have it.... no need to get panties in bunches over me saying that I don’t think it’s a conspiracy. Or do you not agree in me having the freedom to disagree with you? the lack of being able the hear about a different opinion then your own, with an open mind, even if you disagree,without getting on a soap box, is the real threat to our country.(extreme,no common sense partisanship) For those that are worried for the wellfare of our country.

    Legality of Orders

    Might wanna fact check. Most countries that got hit hard did stay at homes. Cases in Japan and Sweden are starting to take off. They say at a minimum, 20% of ny got it, with mitigation efforts. so say with no mitigation efforts, 20% of the us got it. That’s approx 70 million. Then not even factoring the overwhelming of hospitals, say 1% die. that’s not acceptable to me. And unchecked that would be a best case scenario. just to be clear, I don’t think you guys are wrong at all for being skeptical for our rights. Or taking a close look at what’s going on. I think that’s a great thing! I just don’t think this pandemic is a big conspiracy.

    Legality of Orders

    I love freedom as much as anyone here. What do you suggest the government do? If they did nothing, virtually everywhere in the country would look a lot like New York did at its worst. Probably worse actually, because as bad as it got they even did a stay at home order... likely millions dead in our country, many of them younger healthier people that couldnt get basic health care because the sheer numbers overwhelming our hospital system.... I don’t see the benefit of these conspiracies people keep pushing. There’s always many conspiracy theories thrown out EVERY time anything significant happens. Time has shown that they are virtually NEVER true. i think the government is just trying to keep the millions dead scenario from happening. Maybe they went too far, like in war, this is a pandemic. I’d rather they try to do too much then too little. nothing this bad has happened to the world in over a century. im just not buying the conspiracy that it’s to try to take our freedom away. Doesn’t make any sense. just my point of view.

    NM unit 27

    after the busiest hunting year I’ve ever had last year, I convinced the wife to let me put in for New Mexico deer again on the condition that I only put in for high quality low odds hunts... well I drew a nm muzzleloader coues tag in 27! I’m pumped, but my wife is convinced I pulled a quick one! anyways, I’m heading over there This weekend to start looking around for some places to start scouting, but as I’ve been researching, there are potential issues I’m running into. if anyone’s spent time in that unit and is willing to answer some questions, I’d be in debt! Most of my questions are about access/access that’s been closed, but I’m open to any info on things like areas to avoid, or starting points, if anyone’s feeling generous! Quite a few people on here know that I’m willing to repay the favor if I can! Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone who has hunts this year!
