     you wore a mask and you ended up in the hospital with covid...

    Exactly. It reduces risk BUT doesnt make you immune. I work 3 jobs chances of me getting it are high im out of my house 14-16 hours a day! So yeah I know imma get it eventually but imma minimize the amount I get it. My mother wears a mask at the hospital and works with covid patients each night. NEVER HAD IT

    if that was the case why did they come out and say you should be wearing 2 of them? and when 2 isnt enough theyll tell you to wear more. face it, they dont work. never did 

    Dr. Trphy, what's your source on masks not working? They do work! They are made to decrease droplet range. It reduces risk but just cause it doesnt garuntee you immunity doesnt mean they arent effective. 

    I wont tell you to wear a mask or not. It's the people choice! It's a right to choose! But to say they dont work is not correct

    Come in my stores  and want help, put a mask on or you're on your own.  Your choice, our choice.   Simple. Don’t come in self righteous and demand help saying you don’t have to have a mask on  and claim your B S medical condition with CFS.  Told a guy who said that he had a medical condition that being a Dick head didn’t count. 

    AMEN TO THAT! Well said!

    I haven't had the Covid, but as a frontline healthcare worker, I'll  share my personal and professional perspective. I had 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine in December and January and had the chills, body-ache and felt like crap for weeks after the first dose. My wife was in the Moderna trial and had no symptoms. Neither of us have gotten the Covid yet. I have lots of friends and acquaintances who've had the virus. All but one had minor to moderate symptoms. The one exception was a 45 year old, very healthy and fit man. He ended up on a ventilator and on ECMO and they told his wife he wasn't going to make it. He survived and doing better after many months. While it's true that the majority of those who get critically ill from Covid weren't the healthiest to start with (the morbidly obese and diabetic populations were hit really hard), there's exceptions like my friend. 

     

    I work as an ICU nurse, and I've seen the worst of it first hand. Thank God the Covid numbers are way down and things are back to "normal" at my hospital, but it was a rough 8 months or so, and I admit I was feeling the stress. There just weren't enough nurses or respiratory therapists. Every 12-hour shift I was doing 3 people's jobs with twice twice the normal patient load. Covid patients that ended up in the ICU had a 5% survival rate. 

    My mother works as a respiratory therapist and that's 100 percent true. She says the same thing. It's tough. Had the same issues with the vaccine too. I'm glad things are on their way to being better

    PLUS ONE!

     

    Had one of the USFW goobers approach me a couple years ago at the fish clean to ask if we caught any.  I told him yes and we released them all.  He asked why  and if I knew they were trying to get rid of them.  I told him why, and yes I was.  That was the first I heard about them  considering offering a "bounty" on them and if that would change my mind.  NO! He was not very happy with our conversation.

    What is the fishing like over there? I do catch and release too with barbless and I havent caught a brown trout yet

    Can anyone explain me this? 4A, 6A, 17A, 20A, 22 and a lot of other units will now not be available to archery hunt in December or January, only in August. Why are these hunts not going to draw when units like 7 or 11M? Seems like the dec/jan is going to disappear and the august/sept hunts go to draw (see units 1, 27, 2ABC, 3a/3c).  So this means in a few years there will be no dec/jan archery hunts? Why don't they convert the dec/jan hunts to draw instead of eliminating them?

    Or a limited first come first serve OTC like leftovers are done. Like block hunts or single unit tags. I knew they would be getting rid of some hunts but I didnt expect that many

    You don't want that hunt dude.

    The archery deer or the elk? I know chances of seeing an elk are the same as a unicorn. But if I did see one. I'd be doing the state a favor at least. And if I'm already up there with my tag or someone else I know for their hunt then I might as well get this too

    Yeah, that was my thoughts for the points range I'd consider putting in for 12 at.  Over 10 I'd probably just keep going and hope to get lucky.  At 6-8 maybe I draw/maybe I don't, but if I do I get a taste of it and it might alter my path forward after that.  That being the case, I would hate to blow the points for an opportunity and not see a thing.

    With so few tags I sure have a lot less folks to ask who may have hunted them there.  Tags have to mean antelope though, might just have to make a Lees Ferry trip in the next year and glass around for a day in the valley,  

    I honestly am doing the same as you. I am going against my own advice and putting in for it. I am only 19 so I still have so much more time to get another few hunts in. If you're young then go for it. But if you're mid aged, then I would search for rifle. You dont know if that'll be your last hunt if you're a bit older! Just gotta time it all right and have some luck!
