I shoot-lead free bullets for hunting not because I’m concerned about what condors (or turkey vultures or coyotes) ingest. I do so because I’m concerned about what my family ingests. Plus, they seem to perform well. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to oppose a good idea simply because a bad idea might follow it. Maybe just wait for the bad idea and then oppose that. Sometimes the slope isn’t a slippery as it seems. I concede, however, that sometimes it is.

What if they made it in .223? They could remove the muzzle break and make it even lighter. Hmmm. It'll be interesting to see where they go with this idea.

Please don't tell me this collection was from this year! Either way, great collection. Thanks for posting.

I like it! Difinitive, yet understated.

quote name='Vowell' timestamp='1335590417' post='307553'] looks like hes a smart kid with that hat! Congrats, Nice bird! + 1! Great video. He's got the best attitude: "Huntin' first. Filmin' second." Well done young man! Thanks for posting.

Beautifully written. Like others have said, a fitting tribute. He was a good dog. May we all have one like him in our lifetime.

Awesome! After a long, tiring hike, it's amazing how finding a shed can put a spring in your step. Thanks for posting.

+1 I have the Outdoorsmans as well. With the pan attachment and pistol grip it is plenty tall for me while standing. I have the same configuration (Jim White panning attachment + Outdoorsmans pistol grip) except mine is in the medium tripod size. I love it. It's light, packs small, adjusts to some odd positions, has nifty rubber feet that grip rocks well. I rarely need to glass while standing so the lack of that capability doesn't bother me, especially in light of the portability. Plus, it's not just made in the good ol' U.S. of A, it's made right here in Arizona! And they're a CWT.com sponsor to boot! Sure, they're spendy, but so are [insert high-end bino brand here]. Ultimately, it's an individual choice. The bright side is that the cheapest tripod is better than no tripod. Let us know what you end up with.

Awesome! Great time to be together out in the woods! Thanks for sharing.

Good eye! You have to respect a guide who under-promises and over-delivers.

Thought the same thing! Cool pictures. Thanks for posting!

These pictures (along with the ones Azlongears posted) are awesome! Thanks for sharing them. I took one of the pictures and with my limited computer skills tried to make a funny. Here's my lame attempt:

He found it for sure! And not just technically, in every sense, that's his shed! Great post! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Whopper of a bull. If I was there you'd be all "Jimmer, there's a..." And I'd be all "Bang!" (And maybe a few more. )

Great job! Way to keep after it. Thanks for posting.

:lol: Too funny!

Bump. Because everytime I read your signature, especially "Well... that and everyone Wang Chung tonight." I laugh.

Awesome! Spartacus is your lucky charm! And because he's a pup, you'll have lots of years roaming the hills with him.

Are you talking about tactics unions use like strikes? Or are you talking about tactics used by company owners like lockouts and hiring replacement workers?

AGREED! Thanks for posting this.

Yes, a couple of examples come to mind. 1- an employer that has collectively bargained a contract. A contract that was negotiated by both parties, not just crammed down the employers throat by a union. That means it was agreed upon by both parties. 2- a federal employer that provides health insurance for federal employees is my second example. Thanks. I was actually thinking more about how it originally came to be that employers are expected to pay for insurance. Was that largely because of unions? Amanda, According to this article, “Our employment-based system was not the product of a carefully designed health policy. It was a byproduct of evading wage controls during World War II.” http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/22/is-employer-based-health-insurance-worth-saving/ There are many who criticize the current employer-based system. For example, the following which states, in part that the employer-based system “happened through a weird combination of historical accidents, and it makes no sense. Why should an airplane manufacturer also be in the healthcare business? Why should you lose your health insurance if you get laid off?” http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/03/employer-based-health-insurance-going-way-dodo Conservatives decry our current system as reducing our competitiveness but the Left is none to pleased either, as this article shows. http://www.pensitoreview.com/2012/03/20/u-s-free-enterprise-employer-based-health-insurance-system-coming-apart-at-the-seams/ As stated previously, I do buy American where possible. But I don’t blame American workers for our lack of competitiveness by asking for a living wage. I don’t blame unions either. It takes two to agree to a contract. CEOs who can increase profits without increasing revenue by decreasing costs. So they find a foreign country with people willing to work for less than Americans then send the manufacturing jobs there. Increased earnings make the stock price go up and, as this article observes, “And ‘while we’re all uncomfortable with the amounts some companies pay,’ shareholders want companies to hire the right people who will make the stock prices go up, Johnson says. ‘It’s a competitive market,’” http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/story/CEO-pay-2010/45634384/1 While CEO bashing may be popular (or unpopular depending on who you hang out with), “the most recent study in the same series found the figure in 2009 was 263 times the average worker pay.” http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/dec/21/bumper-sticker/bumper-sticker-says-ceos-make-431-times-what-their/ You may have asked me what time it is and I told you how to build a watch but I hope this is helpful. -Jimmer

Great story and pictures! The beautiful shed is a nice bonus too. Thanks for posting.

Sweet pictures. We can use all the moisture we can get. We even got some here in the flatlands. We could use this much tomorrow too. Thanks for posting.

WOW! Well done! Very creative.
