  1. Back in my early days I used one of these to hunt salt water bays and marshes. That was a real experience and very effective. https://projectupland.com/waterfowl-hunting-2/barnegat-bay-sneakbox/?fbclid=IwAR1vr6RfVljn97kMas3Hw4yFeOWOqElj0_pe29Oh3TO8OIDQn_AJq98D_L8
  2. So when the time comes to defend your right to freedom, we know who we can't count on to stand up.
  3. Harris? Who said anything about Harris? Try looking up who bailed out 2020 protestors.
  4. More info on the matter. https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/shipping-your-rifle-just-got-a-little-harder-to-do/?utm_source=011223email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=011223email&utm_id=011223email
  5. No, they were charged but all were bailed out by Democrats and only a few did not have their charges dropped by Democrat prosecutors. Most were set free without any penalties.
  6. People who think the death penalty on the spot without due process is justice that fits the crime, for a tiny unarmed US female veteran protesting a stolen election, who could've easily been restrained and arrested, shouldn't complain when the government decides to infringe on all of your rights and shoot you when you resist. https://patriotpost.us/alexander/94105-second-anniversary-the-capitol-police-killing-of-ashli-babbitt-2023-01-11?mailing_id=7224&utm_medium=email&utm_source=pp.email.7224&utm_campaign=alexander&utm_content=header.default
  7. Enjoy your own demise after supporting Democrats that are looking to implement it.
  8. But you have to admit on a sunny day, no matter how you hunt, you have to be aware of it at all times.
  9. Same here. A friend was hunting deer with a Mossberg 500 pump gun with slugs and I could see the reflection off the receiver across the field at least 500 yards away. I've seen big 8 and 10 point bucks stand perfectly still on the edge of cover for an hour while I waited for a shot opportunity, then slowly turn and move back into the thick cover. I believe they were standing there looking for any sign of danger before moving forward. If they see anything that shouldn't be there, they spook. I'm sure if they saw a gleam off a shiny gun or scope they would turn away and the hunter that spooked them would never know they were there. Highly polished blued steel and shiny walnut look nice on many firearms, but if you need to remain unseen to hunt your quarry, it's not the way to go.
  10. Warren Archibald’s ‘cat’ Animal lovers might squirm at this story about Warren Archibald and his ‘pet’ bobcat. Actually, it wasn’t really a bobcat that Warren took for walks in downtown Margaretville in 1922. Nor was it an “American panther,” “puma,” “mountain lion” or “wildcat,” as variously reported in news accounts. It was an Indian lynx, at least according to an article written for the Kingston Freeman and republished in the Catskill Mountain News March 10, 1922. That story explained that the 40-pound cat was lodging at a Kingston garage while owners Warren and Iris Archibald and their son Andrew wintered in Florida. The Freeman said its cry was a “cross between an African lion and the bray of a donkey,” it enjoyed playing with visitors and it spent its days in the window of a second floor room watching activity on Clinton Avenue and the traffic on the U&D railroad. The story said the cat seemed to like riding on the running board of the family’s seven-passenger Cadillac, “viewing the scenery and eating . . .tidbits . . . dropped over the side of the car for him.” Warren reportedly bought the animal as a cub for $125 from a trapper in Montana. In November of 1922, while walking it on a leash on Main Street, he told the News that Dr. Reuben Smith, the local vet, had removed a couple of teeth “that were troubling the cub.” The Archibalds took the cat, named “Ted,” to Florida with them that winter and in February of 1923 it had its 15 minutes of fame as the subject of a Pathe short film that was screened at the Galli-Curci Theatre that April. The New York Tribune also carried a photo of Warren and his “large lynx or wold cat” in Florida in February. On April 4, 1923, the News reported that the Archibalds had returned from the south with their dog, and a pair of three-year-old alligators. Ted the lynx, the paper said, “died a short time ago.” An abrupt and unexplained conclusion to a short but storied life.
