The more I think of it, I still see no real ethical dilemma or choice either way here. Cool that you shot the baby., and to Bonecollector's point, you did the calf a favor by ending it's apparent suffering more quickly than would have otherwise. It was hurting, and it was a legal animal. On the other hand, had you passed on the baby and killed the cow, honestly for me that would have been just fine, too. That baby became injured somehow and nature & the way of things were running their course (with or without you). I see no moral/ethical obligation to shoot or not shoot the baby either way in this case. (But obviously this is TOTALLY my own opinion only, and we all know what they say about opinions..... As I said earlier, good show!)

Ah, I thought you were indicating it was an ethical concern that you shot the baby. Got it now....

I see NOTHING that makes me think of ethics at all. Good show!! Glad you were successful with the tag!! S.

Ya, from parts of the strip you get towers from the St. George and Kanab area. Likely pick-up some service from the tower coverage along I-15 & Vegas, too.

Screamer of a deal for that tent!

That's a real beauty!!!

I just love that you said "mofo"!! Haven't heard or said it for a LONG time, and it made me chuckle for some reason! 😂

I think on the "rain" thread that someone said 18"..... That's a lot of acre feet!

More good news. Just got last fall's bison hide back from Southwest Wildlife. Will trim it up a tad, then it should make a good rug to go along with the skull on the wall.

NM pronghorn in 3 weeks!!!

True that!! I'll listen to those same old stories again and again, and eat it up! One of them lives in Heber, and we're trying to get him to chase his wife off for the weekend so we can 'camp' there.

Yeah, the irony is that I was the one running my mouth earlier in the week when a couple of them were mentioning the forecast..... I don't mind a thunderstorm or two, but sitting under a tarp with a 7 rowdy month old bird-dog in the pouring rain all weekend is another level. LOL

I'm scheduled to meet old high school friends in the Canyon Creek area for a long-planned weekend of camping/fishing/story-telling..... Uh, maybe not. Waiting on a couple of them to blink so I don't have to be the first to surrender. LOL

Which means not enough AZ folks buying tickets??

And spending time with his special son, too! Yikes!!! If real, RIP, indeed.

Yup, indeed. I saw one big gun last night, and his name was Giannis! 50 points??? Yikes! 😳

Heck yeah, Nick!!! Looking forward to seeing more!!!! S.

My guess is that he was not kidding. My opinion (and we all know what those are worth... lol) is that if you want to have a great weekend in some amazing country with the chance to see some turkeys, too, then it's worth it! If you've not spent time up there, just the camping alone is worth it. A drive to Timp or Fire Point can't be beat! Long way to drive, but it's cool and unique country.

Darren72 is gone/banned. I can't find any user ID for Alex Turnage. Did he/she contact you through the messaging here?

"Dam dirty apes...." Love that! LOL In all seriousness though, what do you know is about ready to happen and what stars are lining up?? Genuinely curious about your strategy.

Just like death, I’m of course we’ll aware I won’t avoid the taxes. 😉 Your second sentence sums it up for me, though. I’ll hope to push any realized gains out a few years until I’m in a more reasonable position, tax wise. 👍🏻 Still curious who’s still holding AMC and who’s dumped it. Also wondering when the next meme stock will pop.

Don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment regarding storms and doves, but I'll take the monsoon rain any day! Besides, the dairy is going to be the dairy..... There will be plenty, I'm sure.

So who's still holding AMC?? I still am because I'm allergic to taking capitol gains hits on my taxes. (As mentioned, it's just going to sit there in my account for a LONG time.) Curious if anyone else is doing anything with it??? Feeling like the run is over for the speculators on this one, but who knows..... How about the crypto guys?

heck yeah!! Just came off a week in a house on Mission Beach with my kids snd extended family. Sweet times!! 🙏🏼 (Already booked for next year… 😉) Back to the real world tomorrow morning. 😩
