I expect more from people than a comment like that, I don’t care if they’re conservative, liberal or in between Sorry, I didn’t know this was a conservative safe space, sorry to intrude and point out a blatantly sexist comment. I’ve been a member of this forum since January, and most who have had some back and forth with me know where I stand politically. However, I’m an avid hunter, I appreciate the knowledge that is present on this board, and I respect political differences. I knew I’d get some banter for this post, I’m not naive. However, I won’t read bull crap like that comment and not call it out for what it is. On top of that, I know there are at least a few hunters on here that fall a little left of the fence. If that makes you uncomfortable, we’ll, that’s your own issue.

You know what, that’s not okay. I was gonna let that roll off, but comments like that just prove the sexism that exists in our society. If a woman is successful, the rumors of how “she slept her way to the top” start flying around. You should be ashamed of spreading that misogynistic bull crap around. It took all of what 5 hours or less for your macho butt to start flinging around sexist comments, I’m sure you’re very proud.

Classy...you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Ooph, now that’s a major scandal. Thanks for sharing that, it completely stamped out my support for the whole ticket.

Great photos!

Usually it's July/August. Here's a good list: https://www.thoughtco.com/when-are-presidential-running-mates-chosen-3367681

Biden just announced that his 2020 running mate will be Kamala Harris. I for one am incredibly pleased with this. He kept his promise of selecting a woman, she is a well qualified woman of color, and has a strong moderate streak, just like Biden. I am looking forward to a fun POTUS race this year!

Not sure what you're getting at with your analogy, but you're right, we probably won't agree on it. I'm cool with that though. The worst thing I can do is take any of this stuff too seriously, it's not worth it, to me at least.

If that bothers you, boy do I have an audio clip of Trump for you....

I wish you the best with the move.

Actual footage of Rattler going to pick up his salt licks after being called out...

I think he meant WW1, and it's widely agreed upon that the Spanish Flu did play a part. Again, I think he just misspoke, I've done it plenty. The "Yo-Semite" is actually really funny I don't hold it against him, it's not like he practices his speeches. Though funny, that pales in comparison to some of the other stuff he's said/done. I've always said that watching Trump deliver a prepared speech is like watching the school bully read a book report that he stole right before class

Trust me man, I do plenty of my own thinking, that's why I'm wrong so often I did see the clip, also the one with Trump shuffling down the ramp like an invalid, and the water clip. They mean 0 to me. I'm not their doctor. Clinton said she was dehydrated, and I've been there, I collapsed from dehydration while digging a grain bin footer when I was in my twenties. It's all fodder, and it doesn't matter. All of the news pundits use it as a way to fire people up and keep them watching their "news". As for Biden, he has always had a stutter, which leads to some speech problems. He's also gaffe prone, which, honestly, we all are to an extent. Just last night Trump said that the 1917 pandemic ended the 2nd World War. I know what he meant, but CNN had a piece on it this morning, it never fails. None of it matters, it's just a way for people to push an agenda on you.

I would really keep an eye out on Craigslist if you can wait until winter. People offload them in the winter just like motorcycles.

I guess moving from one high tax state that is run by a major city, to another, I didn't really feel any difference. I just know I'm pretty happy where I'm at, though there are times I consider possibly crossing the border to VT one of these days

I am hopeful that Biden wins the election, and I believe all of the "mentally disabled" "he'll resign and hand it over to the far left BLM/ANTIFA" is just scare tactics from the other side. It happens every election. I remember in 2016, Clinton was having seizures and was not healthy enough to serve, but somehow she's still kicking in 2020. The scare tactic for the left is now "Trump won't leave and will instate himself as a dictator". Both sides are invoking fear, which, let's be honest, is a powerful motivator. I can guarantee you one thing, there are people on both sides of this election making butt loads of money off of scaring the hell out of people. As I said, I'm hoping Biden wins, but I'm not scared if Trump wins either. Honestly, the day-to-day of my life is affected very little by who the POTUS is, outside of the number of times I've face palmed over the past few years. Obviously COVID has had a big impact on my life, but I realize that government has had very little to do with it. I don't think Trump has done a great job of managing it, but I realize that it just sucks, and it would suck if Clinton was in office, it's a far bigger deal than any one person. I'll put out my little yard sign, fill in the dot on election day, and do my best to be happy with the hand I'm dealt.

Gotta say, TN holds a special place in my heart. I've also always loved KY. I grew up 4 hours from Nashville, and spent a lot of time in town when I was pursuing a music career. A lot of great people, and a beautiful city. A lot of the area surrounding town is gorgeous as well. I actually proposed to my wife on the Shelby St. walk bridge. She has an aunt and an uncle that like just outside of town, and I miss visiting them. I don't regret a minute that we moved out of Southern Illinois to upstate NY though. We are blessed with some great people, beautiful country, great little cities and towns, and easy access to NYC, Boston and Montreal. When people from back home come visit us, they can't believe how beautiful it is here. They have in mind that we are in NYC, just the same as people who find out I'm from Illinois picture being from Chicago. I can probably count on both hands the number of times I went to Chicago, but always get asked "how about Chicago, pretty rough huh?"

With my Summit, I have actually re-hooked halfway up the tree. I've found a few trees with a good bend, or a limb that was too big to cut, and then unhooked the top, moved it to where I needed it, and then repeated for the platform. Not ideal, but not too hard if you have a tree that is where you want it.

I bought a used Field and Stream Eagle Talon a few years ago. I waited until winter and got a great deal on Craigslist. It's a sit on top, really heavy, but stable as all get out. Set up for fishing. Really, you just have to decide what is important in them. A sit on top vs sit-in, longer will usually track better and provide more stability, but can be really slow (like mine). I would definitely make sure that you get a fishing yak, and you'll probably need to replace the seat, as most stock seats are crap.

Wow!

Just ordered mine online.

The only issue I ever had was having the bottom drop out on me while I was climbing. The knot on my rope didn't hold, and the base fell about 10 feet. It was an uncomfortable shimmy to get back down to it

I have always used (minus a couple of deer taken with mechanical) NAP Thunderheads. I used to use 125gr, but now shoot 100gr. I've always had good luck with them, and keep going back to them. They are inexpensive and have replaceable blades. I'm sure there are others that are just as good or better, but I'm not going to complain about them.

Just moved my first batch of wine (peach) into secondary fermentation.
