So there is a lot of BS justifying thieves stealing something. "If left out for 72 hours or even 24 hours it is abandoned property, free for the taking". Doesn't matter it is chained to a tree with a name and phone number. Cut and pasted from a previous post so everybody can read it: Currently there is no specific regulation regarding game cameras left in the forest. The forest service does not recommend leaving any property in the forest. Game cameras have been frequently reported stolen. Nothing about game cams being considered abandoned. Yet it does state blinds must be taken out of the forest daily so steal all the blinds you want after dark. So there is your justification to be a thief while "upholding the law". So I put something out and check it every 24 hours, after 24 hours or 72 hours, depending where you are, it is abandoned and free for anybody to take. That is BS reasoning for thieves because I don't see these sorts of post on trapping. Traps are left out for more than 72 hours, checked every 24 hours. If you want to use the BS abandoned property it has to apply to all property and not just game cams.

True that! I have never know anyone to do all their time even when not model prisoners. Unless your Charles Manson. From what I understand certain crimes, like first degree murder, are not eligible for good time. He has to spend all 30 years. I still say take out a contract on him.

Oops! Dyslexia set in. I think if you only flew it from Dusk til Dawn it would have to be lit.

Check out youtube and see if you can find the video by Colorado DOW. They have two crazy butchers deboning an elk or deer. I was waiting for one of them to get sliced up the way they were handling those knives. There are also good videos on the gutless method. The only thing I do differently is I open the cavity at the end to get the loins out, then again I also take the heart and liver so it has to be opened anyhow.

"If a arrow traveling a <280fps can pass thru an animal and kill it quickly, why do people think a bullet traveling 6=700fpds+ cannot?" Because you are comparing apples to oranges. Arrows kill by cutting and hemorrhage. Hence the reason broad heads must be razor sharp, to cut rather than push tissue out of the way. Bullets kill by hydrostatic shock and crushing force, temporary wound channel vs. permanent wound channel. ​.270 said it right. The bullet construction is the important part. I can take my .222 Rem and have varmint rounds and not kill a deer. I have plenty of energy but the hollow points "blow up" and don't penetrate. I change to a lead nose bullet, with a different construction, hit with the same energy and kill deer. The only reason you need energy is to make the bullet perform the way it was designed. Now for the stupid term "knock down power". There is no such thing. The law of physics state for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The force that hits an animal can be no more than the recoil you feel. I haven't had a rifle knock me down yet.

I think you have a right to demand OEM but I could be wrong. Depends on your insurance company and what you are paying for. They can have a clause where they don't have to use OEM parts.

No you don't have to feed him for 30 years. Just do what they did in Santa Fe that led up to the riots. The guards wanted information and if somebody talked or not they put a snitch jacket on them. Lots of prisoners in PC didn't talk but had a snitch jacket on them and paid the price. Start a rumor out that he is going to spill his guts and I bet the cartels could make it so he don't make it 30 years. Send him down to Joe as he knows how to take care of prisoners. Besides even if he had the death penalty it would take over 15-20 years to carry it out. Unless you were in TX, then it might not take so long. Then you could have a governor like Tony Anaya who commutes the sentence, based solely on personal belief, so three prisoners can break out and go to CA and kill somebody else.

Yeah. Ticked off at the guberment for losing 2,000 guns in a botched gun trace deal. Blame the idiots not talking to each other "because we want all the credit and won't talk to other agencies". So the death penalty is off the table, the a-hole is still doing 30 years, at least it is on our side of the border. Put out a contract on him and let him get shanked.

I was just at the body shop, wife crashed the 2013, and some lady with a Toyota had this to say. Her "LIMITED EDITION" was in a hail storm and this is what Toyota told her. Regular replacement hoods won't fit since it is a "LIMITED EDITION" and the replacement hoods are inferior in metal to any original replacement hood from Toyota. The only way to get it replaced is to buy the $600 hood from them as they are the only one that has them. She is in a fight with her insurance, Toyota, and the body shop. Her insurance doesn't want to pay for the Toyota hood, Toyota says that is the only hood that will fit is from them, and the body shop is caught in the middle. So that is something else to think about.

And they are full of crap. Oil pump should be mechanical off the crank shaft of the engine. If the engine is turning, with a good oil pump, you are getting oil. Fuel is probably electronic and computer could be shutting off pump but I bet it is sending fuel either to the throttle body or to the ports if MPFI. One time I took my wife's old Pontiac to the dealer and the first code was check o2 sensor. Five trips without them fixing the problem I looked over what the had done, first trip showed me the engine code, and I fixed the problem. They gave me all my money back. All my cars, with routine maintenance, have had over 200,000 miles on them before starting to have problems. They are not Toyotas however.

Just bought 2 40lb bags of roasted hatch chili! Oh man what did I get myself into???? Chilis for life That is a years supply for me.

I put a chain link fence top rail built like a saw horse 8' off the ground. Parents had carpet taken out of their house so I cut 3 pieces 10'x16' with padding and threw over top rail. That is my backstop, carpet and padding thrown over the top rail,10'x8' six layers of carpet and padding. If I miss my target I won't hit the brick wall again.

Can't wait to see them.

So depending on the type of catchment they built you can see it on Google Earth. Also depending on the date of the picture you can see if the dirt tanks have water in them. Secret spots aren't so secret anymore.

All the horse roundups we have had over here have not taken all the horses off the land. Where is the FS proposal to remove all horses? They reduce the herd of the horses but never eradicate them. When we had the old SF pen ( remember the 1980 riot?) they had a horse program where the prisoners broke the horses and then sold them for the program. I thought it was great for both the prisoners and the horses. One time up by Farmington I cam across a snare with a horse skeleton in it. Better to round them up than have some idiot do that.

Don't use just one book for loads. I found this out when I started loading .38 semi-wadcutters using Unique powder. My Hornady book for minimum loads was +P or over for that load according to two other books. Good thing I only loaded 100 rounds and was using a .357 Mag, a S&W 686, to shoot them. So try to average three books or take the lightest load from all three books.

I don't think they make them anymore but I have an old engine air. Pull a spark plug, put the adapter in place of the plug, hook up the air hose and five minutes later after idling the engine your tire is all filled up.

Love the fawn in the last one.

Took this yesterday at the local grocery.

Go Cubs!

I hope to see those bulls on the ground with a happy youth hunter!

I wear ear protection. It makes my bow soooo quiet. No seriously any form of shooting/hunting with a firearm I wear them and make my daughters wear them. It helps to slow things down to make one good shot. The worst my ears ever rang was only one shot with a . 22 out of a pistol.

I don't think width will get much more at this point. I think you will see an increase in tine length. It appears to me to be a younger deer.

I would score him medium-rare, side of fried taters and onions, and a nice beer to wash it all down.

I've got two now both Cannon. EOS Rebel T3 and EOS Rebel T5i. I will either have the 75-300mm or 100-400 mm lens on almost always since I like closeups. When you start getting into cameras better than this they are heavier and bulkier, and weight makes a difference since I carry one with me always when I'm outdoors. I'm learning the big lens now. It was kicking my butt because of the weight and I don't use a tripod. The better I get at controlling camera shake carries right over to my bow and shooting. My 15 year old daughter wanted a good camera so last Christmas I got her a Nikon D3300 DSLR with the 18-55mm lens. This year she is taking a dual credit class (high school/college) in photography to start learning the ropes. Then I get to buy her more lenses so it looks like the 75-300mm will be my next purchase.
