I have a 6A tag and was wondering how the acorn crop is looking this year. I know it's been dry but hoping that the wet spring we had was enough to produce some acorns.

My tastes went to Country Rock by the time Metal became popular. Growing up on Long Island there were multiple concerts every weekend to go to plus tons of local groups that made it big like Eddie Money, Billy Joel, Twisted Sister playing in the local clubs. Joe Walsh and the James Gang played my Senior Prom in 1970. Loudest concert I saw was Deep Purple. My ears rang for 30 minutes after I left the Coliseum. Typical ticket prices in the late 60's and early 70's were $6.50 to $8.50 and T-Shirts were $9.50 I've seen the Stones, Pink Floyd, Grand Funk, Doors, Joplin, Grateful Dead, Zappa, YES, ELO, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Bo Didly, Les Paul, The Who, Skinard, Charlie Daniels both with his band and also playing with Marshall Tucker, Allman Brothers, Ten Years After, Rory Gallegher, Wet Willie, New Riders, Sha Na Na, Buddy Guy, Jethro Tull, Buckingham Nicks, Fleetwood Mack, Both Winters Brothers, Sly and the Family Stone, Shaka Kahn, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Four Seasons, Bonnie Rait, Pat Benetar, Queen, Willie Nelson, KISS, Santana.Paul McCartney and Wings and lots of one hit wonders who were openers. I'm sure there are a few I missed. Never got to see the Beatles or Hendrix but Jimi would play at a place in the Village called The ELectric CIrcus and the cover was $2 but I was only 15 or so at the time. Didn't make Woodstock as I had a dad who was struggling to make ends meet with five kids and I had a job flipping burgers during the week and worked from 11PM to about 8AM Friday and Saturday nights for a guy who had a cleaning business which was a few office buildings and resturants and a few bars.

Soaked in local whole milkfor 24 hours, drained, pounded and seasoned. Then into an egg wash, into flour. Then dredged again and into cornmeal. Twice. Cooked in oil for about 3 minutes turning every 30 seconds. Nice and tender.

Guess he's a little butthurt now.

When chicken breast is on sale I buy a bunch. I found that wrapping each breast in plastic wrap then putting them in a gallon freezer bag works well to keep them from getting freezer burn.

If someone has an inkling to expand their skills here are a few things to try. 1. Shoot small bore silhouette. It's offhand and .22 out to 100 meters. 2. Shoot high power silhouette. Centerfire rifle calibers (no magnums) out to 500 meters. 3. Take your deer rifle and jump shoot jackrabbits. 4. Learn how to predator call for coyotes. Don't use a bipod to shoot from. Nothing like shooting a moving target offhand. Learn the habits and reactions of coyotes when they are coming into a call and what they do when they bust you. No reason to limit yourselves to what makes you comfortable with a rifle.

Pretty Bull, congrats all around.

It's worth being picky and holding out. Good Luck Sean.

Tred just passed away in an auto accident in Canada. Not a lot of details but I know for the last month or so he had an RV and had traveled to Alaska. Heck of a fisherman, hunter and all around good guy who managed to never give up no matter what cards he was delt. He is outta pain now and if there is a here after I know he is sitting around the campfire with people like Bear, Ruark, Learner and a slew of others.

Practice makes perfect.

"We all have to know our limitations". Some people don't know what they don't know and it seems like you ran across shooters than hunters. Each person comes up different. If there was a school for people who didn't grow up hunting that would be great. In the old days I would write a mail order course on this very subject, with steps. It's interesting to read the comments and see how others have achieved their current level. Coach, websites like this, Long Range Hunting and the fad of 1,200 yard MOA groups take a novice from 0 to 200MPH in the blink of an eye which is good but sometimes leads to limited skills and that is on the person behind the trigger.

It just takes one bull to start feeling his oats and the others respond accordingly.

Sweet Deal.

They revamped the Fishing Report about two years ago to what it is now, which is basically people calling in and giving a report when they catch something.

Didn't realize Regs were out but thanks.

I used the Trophy Bonded in my 22-250 and they worked great at 30 yards and 225 yards on a doe hunt with my two kids around 2000.

I will say that the 168 HVLD in my 7Mag put a fist sized whole in the neck of a Coues I shot in January at 225 yards. So I would almost welcome a bullet with a thicker jacket. The same load Goldfinger used on his Elk at almost 3X's the distance also was pretty explosive.

That's a sweet buck Ernesto. One step closer to the AZ Big 10.

Heard this guy a few times Saturday night. 20190907_132202.mp4

I'm sure he is looking for load data. It's a versatile round so my question to the OP is what game are you looking to shoot? I always loaded different weight bullets in my 300 depending on what the quarry was.

Could have happened anywhere. But did you report it?

So, should they not pay the ammo company who sold it, the vendor who delivered it, the employee who put it on the shelf? So tell me. Just where does that loss get absorbed in the business? Raise the price on tomatoes $.20 a pound for six months?

The wheels at NFPA move slow. I'm not a maritime warrior but the crews on these boats just give the passengers a very quick rundown on the safety procedures. You can expect to see some big changes as to what systems are on boats.

I'm sure many of you have read of this by now. It strikes home for me as over the 4th my son and I spent three nights fishing on a boat with the same dimensions. Our bunks were just below the hatch by the bow so we had a possible escape route but there wasn't any instruction on how to use it. Really makes you wonder why it seems that nobody made it out from below deck or if there was any fire suppression system in there. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/04/california-dive-boat-fire-33-bodies-recovered-1-still-missing.html

I read that they believe it started in the galley. Also the owners filed a lawsuit to avoid liability under a law that dates back to 1851. Looking at the boat it looks identical to the one I fished on in July. https://www.foxnews.com/us/conception-dive-boat-owners-lawsuit-liability-rescue-attempts
