I think the biggest concern about full inclusion is the idea of a bunch of ying yangs, who never picked up a longbow, and never took an archery course, running out and buying crossbows and invading the woods thinking the weapon they are now holding is on par with a long gun.....at least that's mine. I think the majority of good, ethical hunters who have been hunting for awhile will not do that and will hunt with it much like they do with their compound or recurve....at least that's how I hunted with it, that and somewhat preserving the tradition of bowhunting the way I always envisioned it. I saw none of that last year, to be honest I didn't see another hunter hunting with a crossbow at all.....as far as it recruiting new hunters? I'd be very surprised if the numbers climbed that dramatically because of it.....harvest numbers would probably jump through the roof, but because of the hunters who know what they're doing already, those who suck will always suck no matter what weapon they choose....my biggest gripe of all was not making an archery course mandatory, especially if it's archery gear like many say....after hunting with a compound for 30 something years and using a crossbow for the first time last year, I will say it's 100x's easier then the compound and probably 1000x's easier then a recurve.....you remove so many aspects that are needed for being successful with a compound or recurve.......as much as I hate to admit it, if full inclusion happens, it will probably rank up there in the unfounded fear category, much like the dreaded youth hunt that was started a few years ago.

I absolutely think that a bowhunter education course should be required to use one.....

Actually, I find it quite difficult to take good quality pics of a mount where everything is in proportion. I may be a bit biased, but...I believe my mounts are more realistic than what most people around here get back from their taxidermists. Honestly, most people don't know what to look for in a quality mount; if it resembles a deer they are happy with it. Not me...
I agree, many places just pump them out as fast as possible.....I've seen quite a few that I've had to bite my lip while looking at them.

I hunt with both compound and crossbow, I have no problem with the split season myself.........I can also understand the guys who don't want full inclusion as well as understand those who do, we can't all share the same feelings.....I'll also add that I'm personally against full inclusion, but not to the point of fighting against it.

I got better patterns at 40 yards out of my Benelli with the Winchester Longbeards than the Hevi Shot Mag Blends.....that's with the 3.5's, also got some discoloration in my cheek while doing so...those things aren't too pleasant to shoot as far as I'm concerned.
-
yeah, I did miss the point.....I'll write letters, emails, and answer surveys from home as well as following any pending proposals or pending changes....that doesn't take much time or really interfere with other stuff I have going on. I don't have the time to devote to spending a few hours going to meetings to listen to topics that don't interest me......as far as how important it is considering all the other stuff that affects me and my family? probably down in the lower quarter on the scale....but I certainly do not do anything about it.
-
I think many greatly overestimate the amount of hunters who really give a crap about Deer management.....

Then he shouldn't have been where he wasn't supposed to be in the first place.

yeah, two bad decisions in one day....it takes a special person to run once already stopped.

when you look at it, it's not like he saw the Officer from a distance and took off, the guy was standing right next to the truck talking to the kid when he made a decision to run......bad move and obviously something he made a conscious decision about doing.....tough to call that an accident.

I would think a license suspension with restrictions is pretty inconvenient, not allowed to drive anywhere other then work, school and programs has got to be a pain for anyone.........at least for the person who follows the restrictions, but I doubt too many of those exist.
-
The rub is that the prisons are overcrowded so some sex offender gets parole to make room. And does this kid now learn more about crime in prison and as an ex-con end up doing more harm later on because he can't get a job?
I don't know the answer, just food for thought.
yeah, I can't imagine prison is a good experience, community service, suspended license, heavy fine...something along those lines, but something to make him realize his mistake and not just a slap on the wrist.

I think it has something to do with the water......
-
we see more and more "kids" killing and hurting people theses days with reckless and drunk or drugged driving then ever before.....at what point do you stop slapping them on the wrist and start really punishing them? maybe this kid, if punished properly, will smarten up and his buddies will learn from it as well......but probably not.
-
I would think if someone is old enough to take on the responsibility of driving a motor vehicle, then we should hope they have the brains to know right from wrong and suffer the same consequences of someone 10 or 20 years older....

just make sure the ground venison is free of fat, it can be hidden in many dishes, but in jerky it congeals into nasty tasting white spots once it cools.

I saw a similar letter yesterday that was sent by another manufacturer, something about anything built on an AR upper is no good.
-
remember, others may miss the smallest imperfection, but if you're anything like me, your eyes will always be drawn towards it and it'll drive you nuts.

That's probably not quite the right fixture for what you're talking about, but I agree with the idea. Something a little bigger and more ornate would give more wiggle room.
that's what I'm thinking....I just grabbed that photo to show a base that would cover any mess.

Is that a thing?? Ive seen ones with rectangular bases but not that you could slide to one side, Ill have to go to a real lighting store and not Lowes. Thanks
I don't think so, but I think the part that goes over the box that has the threaded hole for the mounting screw can be played with a little or maybe you can make or modify something that would work???

if you still want to get rid if it i'll pm you my address.
do you know what the LOP was when it was on an 870?
no idea....and PM me the info.

Here's a beaut; I turned a closet into a half bath. I centered the light fixture on the back wall, but the vanity is centered to the narrowest point, which is the correct position for it. So now the fixture isn't centered and moving the junction box is going to be a royal PITA
Ideas to fix or workaround are welcome
get a fixture that sits on a square or rectangular base and slide it over till its centered on the wall. I think the backs are pretty much open for wiring so room to play with......maybe, or at least it will cover the hole if you have to move it.

do you still have this?
yes

yeah, this isn't going to really be a huge recruitment tool.....at this point, lack of interest and dwindling numbers has very little to do with the weapons that are available.
