I believe Clinton signed NAFTA and "Reaganomics" worked.

When I was young, I learned to stop the symptoms of buck fever coming on, by thinking about all the work that nice buck was going to make for me once I shot it. Other than that, that work, or any other work, will not stop me from going. When I plan a day to hunt, it's is planned to fit into anything else going on in my life, so I have no worries about going for the day. I still regret all the days of the past I could've been hunting and didn't make plans to go.

Then: "If you join the protest because you're tired of COVID, you now need to understand you are breaking the law." —Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in February Now: "Everyone in China should be allowed to protest [COVID restrictions]. We will continue to ensure that China knows we will stand for human rights and with people who are expressing themselves." —Justin Trudeau in November

Or just shooting a lot less when out there. I've been in the woods for a couple of weeks, but without a doe tag and in the AR zone, I have yet to fire a shot.

I have fond memories of shooting rats at the dump with my uncle when I was a pre-teen. I got very good at it with a .22 single shot and a .22 caliber semi-auto pellet pistol. They would start showing themselves at dusk and we would shoot as many as we could before it got dark. It really was fun and really taught you how to shoot. The dump closed and was covered over with dirt. I wonder what happened to all of those rats.

Well, it's nice to know a deer like that was out there and passed along his genes. Maybe NY State will start producing more big bucks like this one during hunting seasons. It's proving to be capable of it.

The way crime is going in this land today, I don't think fewer hunters will mean fewer guns. Just fewer hunting guns. people are buying weapons for self defense in greater numbers than ever before. Fewer hunters will mean less votes though. I wonder if the number of hunting licenses sold each year includes all lifetime licenses issued, or just new ones sold that year.

Shots do not determine how many hunters are in the woods. The number of hunting license sales is a more accurate figure. Today there are more than 10 years ago.

If people think the side that hates the 2nd Amendment is as good as the side that supports it, they are beyond help.
