  1. If you're better off now then you were 4 years ago, you're probably an illegal.
  2. If it were restored to like new condition, it would be worth $200K Indians are far more rare than Harleys. There is a motorcycle exhibit in the Smithsonian in D.C. with vintage bikes that is really interesting. Those bikes are worth millions.
  3. Most would need to take out a mortgage to afford it. They are rare.
  4. My friend that let me hunt his land and take my 8 point buck in 2023 knows I'm a motorcycle guy and was telling me his 94 year old father has an old motorcycle in the barn that he used to ride when he was young. I asked if I could see it and he invited me over yesterday to look at it. It turned out to be a 1914 Indian that is in ratty shape, but all of the original parts are still there (except the front tire). It hasn't been run in decades, but it's been in a dry barn and seems to be very restorable. After looking it over, the old man said he is not interested in selling it and invited me into his house to show me some other things he's collected over the years. He has a cool custom made 45 caliber muzzle loader that is beautiful and at least 50 years old, but I'm not familiar with the maker. He has many other things he's collected from around the world as well. Old firearms, bows, spears, shields and knives adorn the walls of his home. Each one has a story to go along with it too. He also has a 1970 Cadillac Coupe De Ville convertibe in the garage that is in pristine condition and keeps on a battery tender so he can take it out for a drive every so often in the summer. I never pass up any opportunity to meet and chat with people as old as he is. They experienced an entirely different world and the stories they tell and things they still have in their possession from decades ago always fascinate me. It's like speaking to living history.
  5. Democrats created the crime problem and denied it for years. Now they have to deal with it, but won't accept responsibility for it. NEW YORK (WABC) -- Governor Kathy Hochul revealed a five-point plan Wednesday to bring additional state resources to bear on combatting subway crime in New York City. The plan includes the deployment of 750 National Guard members and 250 New York State and MTA police officers into the subway system, and additional teams to handle cases involving people exhibiting signs of mental illness. The new deployment adds to the additional 1,000 NYPD officers ordered into the subway last month to conduct bag checks and follows the slashing of a conductor and other high profile crimes. Hochul is also calling for people deemed to be too dangerous by a judge to be banned from the subway. She is pushing for a state law that allows judges to block a person from riding the subway or buses for three years if they are convicted of attacking a passenger. https://abc7ny.com/nyc-subway-crime-nypd-governor-hochul/14495270/?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter
  6. Crime is on the rise, thanks to treasonous elected officials that refuse to incarcerate criminals. As a person looking to understand more about self preservation, let’s focus on the human predators that are looking to commit crimes against another. An attack cycle consists of the predator looking, choosing, stalking, closing and completing the attack on another person. Money is just one of the resources they are looking for. There are several outstanding resources out there to help us better understand a predator. One of them is Rory Miller, author of "Mediations on Violence." Experienced martial artist and veteran correction officer Sgt. Rory Miller distills what he has learned from jailhouse brawls, tactical operations and ambushes to explore the complexity of violence. He puts these predators in two main categories, Process Predator and Resource Predator. Rory explains that a Process Predator loves violence. They could care less about money, they want you and they want to watch the world burn. These bad people are usually serial rapists, killers and are all about torture. They want as much time and privacy as possible, so this can easily mean they come to your home. If that is not available, they will take you and move you to a place that they feel is a secure and private place to do bad things. This is often called the secondary crime scene. Heads up, if a person invades your home or is attempting to move you, you are most likely dealing with a Process Predator. You MUST fight back with everything you have. You MUST not allow him to move you because it will most likely escalate to torture and murder. This is 100-percent "Go time" and you MUST get out of there. Per Rory, a Resource Predator is looking for something to steal. Look at it this way: They think of you as a resource to get what they want. You are their “store” and they want what you have like your money, car, high dollar items, etc. The Resource Predator does NOT want to work hard for the “score”, they want to get the biggest return for the least amount of work. That being said, some will use violence but will usually only threaten violence if they believe you will not comply. Once you give them what they want, they will most likely move on. We must do everything possible to see the threat before or during the predators “look” section of the attack cycle and to deselect ourselves so we are never even “chosen”. Let’s stop the attack cycle before it even starts by keeping our heads up, walk with confidence, and train (and practice) non-lethal, less than lethal and lethal decisions.
  7. I once saw something similar at an old feed store. You would hang a feed sack of known weight on one side by the hook and load an empty sack with the same feed on the other side until it balanced. That way each sack would hold the same amount of feed after being loaded.
  8. A couple of years back I bagged a doe that went 200 live weight. I weighed it prior to field dressing it, but not afterwards.
  9. Famous hunter and Outdoor Life author Jack O'Connor gazes at some of his impressive collection of wild rams in his man cave office in Lewiston, Idaho circa 1950. O'Connor sold his first article to Sports Afield in 1934 for $12.50. Later that year he sold another article to Outdoor Life Magazine, where he would become a staple for many years to come.
  10. Buck came in at 306 pounds and scored 170 points.
  11. The 7mm-08 wins the lightest recoil title here. In a 7-pound rifle it will recoil with a velocity of 13.57 fps and energy of 20.04 f-p. The 270 will kick at 15.1 fps with 24.81 f-p. https://ammo.com/comparison/7mm08-vs-270
