Got this fella this afternoon going up the rain barrel.

For one thing, by reclassifying the individual mandate as a tax, Roberts made it much easier for a Republican Congress to repeal it without having to worry about a Senate filibuster. Tax matters can be passed via reconciliation with a simple majority of 51 votes, so Republicans no longer have to worry about finding 60 voters to end debate. That’s huge. It still requires the Republicans to keep the House, take the Senate and elect Mitt Romney president – but that’s still far more doable than finding 60 Senate votes to get rid of Obamacare. Indeed, since Obamacare lacks severability clauses, I see no reason the entire bill couldn’t be repealed via reconciliation. Elect a Republican House, Senate and president in 2012 and Obamacare is 51 and done. By Herman Cain July 2, 2011

Experience is really the best way to know about what a deer scores in the field... things like knowing that most 8-points won't reach 150 class in NY (unless they are exceptionally large) tell you that if you are looking for 150 or better... it will need to have at least 10 points usually.

HHHmmm 10 ft..wonder how he pulled that shot off...must have his gun pretty handy too...just wondering here.....lol Think he told the the boys to just stay there while I run for my gun?

I put the rest of the AC units in today. I got tired of my son crying because hes hot and sweaty with just a diaper on.

nice!!...I rarely get buck on my cams...at least not until Aug/ Sept....but always lots of doe and fawn ...because the doe come to our place to drop their fawns... Which is fine with me...I like surprises....lol

So let me see if I understand. I will start on a company level, Company XYZ has done some homework and finds that it is much cheaper to pay the penalty(ooops I mean tax) than to provide health coverage for there employees. So not only does the company pay into the government for this the employees will to for not having "adequate" health coverage. So that piece of shit we call our president not only gets penalties payed ( darn it I mean tax) in to the government for individuals but companies as well. Well unless you happened to be a Obama supporting company then you might get the Admit One ticket. SO due tell me who the hell wins in this situation? Its certainly not the employees or the working class americans in this country, Its the government and the welfare class that win. This is a joke a complete udder joke. When half or more of you yay sayers lose your health coverage from your employer you will think different about this. The thing that is left wide open is exacally what is ADEQUATE health coverage in Obamas Plan? There is no reason to be a working american other than self pride any longer. Why is there? When you can get a free ride through life on the curtails of the working class americans. Im sick over this.

Our current system is broken, but ObamaCare is like curing a headache by putting a bullet through your head. There are plenty of alternatives to fix our healthcare problems, but none give the government as much control, which is their main objective, and none allow special interests to make as much money, which is why they donated so much to Obama and the Democrats. Ask yourself this, Why did things work fine decades ago in the 50's and 60's, but they don't work now?" Answer: Government interference, lawyers and corporate greed. Think ObamaCare will reduce the influence of any of those things?

For me it starts with the most basic premiss in this case being flawed.. That is that it is the govt. responsability to make sure every american has health care. No i'm sorry but that is not a role of the Federal Government. That is an entitlement. Maybe at the state level the people can decide whether they want their tax money to go towards that but not on a national level. History has proven time and time again, that there is nothing the feds can do better or more efficiently or without levels of corruption that the private sector can't do better. Eg. postal service, social security, medicare, energy ect... There are plans out there but they never get reported on because we have already accepted that national healthcare is the way to go and that will always mean political fighting, devision and waste. Common sense de-regulation, open the market to compitition across state lines and allow the people to shop for their insurance like we do now for autos. And allow incentives and tax credits for low income people to purchase their own economy plans voluntarily. Affordable healthcare for all. All these will lower costs and spurr private industry growth and good paying middle class jobs.

The handguard got here today, so I swapped it out. I think it looks great! I got it in OD Green, which will match the grip and stock. I may or maynot get some rai l covers for the areas that arent going to get used. I havent quite decided if I will put the Magpul angled foregrip on it or if I will go with a vertical grip. I need to get my hands on a rifle with the angled one to see if I like it first.

We grow some big deer in this part of the state. They get big for a reason...not because they're easy to pattern/kill.

In the clover plot.

I'm joining that group. I have no plans to use one at this point, I feel todays compounds are superior ,unless drawing is an issue. Anytime compound compete against xbows in meets compounds win..... But as I age and shoulders hurt more I may have to settle for one. Personally I could care less what another guys uses. Ohio has had crossbows in archery season for well over 30 years, the crossbow kill rate is 2% higher, the deer heard is strong,the sky did not fall.......

whew i was nervous to open this at first
