    Open window or through the mesh

    Only significant blind experience I've had was antelope...shot fixed blades through mesh. No issues for me except the shot that partially hit the window pane/strap and deflected. I wasn't willing to try open windows on antelope based on reports from others with being seen drawing.

    Noting that this isn't exactly the same purpose or type of VPN as being discussed here. This is a VPN creating a secure tunnel into my work network. Luckily I don't have to use it for everything.

    Sling may be your answer...lots of sports on 24/7 between all the ESPNs, PAC12, SEC and other networks. I use vpn for work too and not sure I understand the application being discussed here. Our work vpn is so slow no way I'd want to stream anything through it. A VPN should not be affecting your speed. You might have another problem.Definitely the VPN. Common complaint with coworkers too. I can test speed off vpn and on vpn and it's an awful difference. Our network folks say there's nothing to be done about it though.

    Has anyone shot a swhacker through mesh?

    Rick Forrest (Swhacker inventor) advised me not to shoot them through mesh. I know folks who have with mixed outcomes...he told me in a blind he always shoots them through open window.

    CMA Fest

    Haven't been watching long but not too much new fake country yet. Dustin Lynch is a good kid and seems to be keeping it country. Sporting an elk t-shirt too, even if it's his own clothing line.

    Name that gun!

    Old school 700 in THE camo of the times. Ive Only seen a few of them, and never in person. I'd like to own one.Yeah I really liked that pattern at the time too (still do, just can't get much except waterfowl gear in it anymore) Guess I know who I'll contact if I ever want to sell it...

    Name that gun!

    I'll play...not vintage or too difficult to ID the model, but a little obscure since I think these were only made for a couple of years.

    Hunting beards

    Past couple years I've started about now and tried to keep one through Jan deer season. Some years it happens some it doesn't. Not sure if I will this year or not.

    I have Viper HDs 10x42 in east Tucson. Will be in SV in a couple weeks for the Hunter Ed field day... Reading it again you probably want 15s though. I have non-HD 15x50 but no comparison to the HDs or kaibabs.

    Cutting the cord part II

    Sling has several PAC12 network choices. No problem watching just about any PAC12 team.

    Cutting the cord part II

    Correct Sling doesn't have CBS. I haven't been able to find any cbs streaming without paying cbs directly. We get CBS over HD antenna though. Give Sling a look...pretty sure with the sports pack you'd get NFL Network and an MLB channel. I don't watch a lot of pro sports but everything I want in college sports is covered.

    Coues Scouting

    I like both and just depends on what's going on and how much time I have. Killed my nicest buck last Jan at a spot I can hunt on a quick morning run from the house.

    This. Previous owner left his album on the truck hard drive and I listen to it very often.

    Monday Check in

    Finally back in gear...made some significant nutritional changes and back to exercising regularly. Currently in week 3 of one of the DVD programs like P90X. No real hunt prep until Dec so plenty of time...will see what happens.
