better look into full body mounts as a backup but try to talk him into an actual pedestal mount as a first defense.

i don't really have the need to argue but i'll state my opinion here on this. i think crossbows are the future that will keep bowhunting alive. vertical bows are here to stay but they are a limited crowd. license holders same as population is expected to be less as the baby boomer generation grows older. in that group you have those older getting worn out or young with injury that have problems drawing vertical bows to deter them from participating. add in pressure on hunting and guns from those that oppose it. archery is easier accepted. youth recruitment into hunting is paramount in todays world if you care anything at all about hunting. youths can't draw bows that easily (especially girls). even new hunters that are fully developed adults will battle the learning curve of a vertical bow, especially when on stand versus just shooting in their backyard or at a range. crossbows i see keeps them ahead of the curve when it comes to skill or ability required to go afield with archery gear. if NY Bowhunters org doesn't acknowledge this they're just capping themselves in the knees, even if they don't go away. deer die the same way from a crossbow, the means of sending the arrow is still the same, and the potential energy is still stored used your own power. even if cranked to cock due to some deficiency compared to your normally capable adult, they could otherwise cock the bow without the crank. multiple arrows don't care. anyone that bowhunts with any regularity knows this isn't going to change the game much as long as you're not sending hail marys through the woods.

don't have a Weber but i use it all the time. go to spot to set stuff like pans, plates, bags of rolls, etc. i've used my side burner as an actual burner maybe 3 times in the last 10 years. (edit) ...steaming kettle full of clams, sweet corn, or lobster is what i've used it for. i guess it's a lie i've used it more than 3 times. still not very often compared to the rest of it.

i don't ever play unless the news is in plain sight that it's real high. i guess i'll be stopping at a mom and pop shop to buy a ticket or two.

trusts are the big ones people try to use as a loop hole but always turn into a sinking ship when they get audited.

no most people try to do that and it doesn't work NY gets their cut and then the other state depending on how you get taxed in that state (purchased assets, income, etc.).

How can you follow that?! Oh well, Nightmare Brewing Windlass Of Erasmus that i posted prior. Pretty good for a sour ale/gose. Pretty balanced with black sea salt, sweetness, and sour. I'm not that into sours but it gets better as you get through the can. It's close to a blackberry wine but id drink it over wine any day. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

These banquets are a lot of work. You can add me to the sucker list for our banquet. I bought an early bird raffle pack and as I was "directing traffic" for volunteers dishing out bucket prizes to winners my ticket was drawn. I had our emcee draw again. I'm sure Bob would agree its worth a lot to see banquets with full attendance and people having fun. That represents and justifies all the time and effort put in throughout the whole year promoting the goals of QDMA and conservation, not just for the event itself. nice job to you and all the branch volunteers Bob!

in all honesty the best thing for a grill is to use it. if it sits it'll rot. i don't care what it is.

All of it but passed on the stout as I'm not a coffee drinker. In hind sight I should've gotten it to try it. Was there even a presence of coffee? Theres only three of them. I got multiple packs of the QDHI ipa "drawn and quartered". I only got one pack of the gose "Windlass of Erasmus". Im not real into sours but it sounded good. I probably should've got more but I dont like being the jerk that takes all of something. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

i put my CharGriller Duo together in the living room and shit you not it consumed the room and then i was worried about getting it out of the house. assembly should be thought about in both time and on rare occasion feasibility.

grill models are like one off products. by the time they die they're junk. can't get parts and so you're forced to buy new. some people have this complex where their grill needs to be hooked up to their smart phone or has to be stainless steel (news flash other parts that aren't still rot out). i got a Char-Griller Duo that has lasted over 10 years and it's still fine. It's a monster so it stays outside all year long. i can still get parts when something rots out. it gets nice and hot too. i can bring it up to almost 600 degrees in the dead of winter in no time. they have other simpler models too that are priced right with other grills. i can't justify spending $1,000 on a grill like some people. $200-350 on a no frills good quality grill that you can get parts for is where it's at! Go with a Char-griller

i'm only 35 but my first deer i took wearing a trebark one piece coverall. that count?

so larry met larry and now we have this. i don't know if two larry's make a right but i accept it. happy birthday larry!

we'll see how the nightmare brews fair tonight. 2 of the three anyway. i'm not much of a coffee stout guy with not being a coffee drinker.

I'm not a morbid person but the artwork ain't bad. i like the description. i'll have to keep a look out for it.

i've pointed that out to vegans while truly being sympathetic to their intentions. multi times and outcome was always the same. ended in personal attacks at me and they would forgo anything further conversation of whether or not to eat meat.

those smaller pickups are handy in town or in the city compared to a full size but damn if they aren't just as much if not more $.

the Ridgeline i had setup decent.. it had a modest skid plate for anything less than a hard impact. ground clearance was over 8" and only an 1" less than most all your full size stock pickups. i never got it stuck in places on the farm and i should've been stuck. it had a button to turn off the traction/stability control so it'd just churn versus lessen power to certain wheels to TRY and get more grip. those auto features are dumb if you can't turn them off. i also had Hankook and then Cooper All Terrain tires on it since i owned it. it was a handful with all that stuff off but it'd keep digging along get you to where you were going. i had chains on standby i never used too. i'd never do that to a newer vehicle but it was older (2007) and fair game. things i did to that poor thing would've made a hell of a Honda truck commercial and probably considered being a down right a**hole. there was nothing wrong with it though when i sold it. only things i replaced when owning it were tail light bulbs, a sway bar link, a wheel bearing, and the again typical for mileage timing belt, tensioner, and waterpump. two things i did not like that made it not better than an actual truck where the 5' bed and mileage wouldn't get any better than 16-17 mpg on Regular gas.

had other full size full length bed 1/4 ton pickups that were used to slowly haul (2) 1000 lb round bales at a time from the field when they all wouldn't fit on the wagon. trucks take abuse more than some people think. they don't live when people don't maintain them.

i bought my ridgeline used and because it was cheap and low mileage. i basically did what you said used it for what it was. a handful of times on the farm it got a work out though. hardest i ever worked it was an atv in the back while towing a hay wagon full of haybales (about 9,000 lbs) for a normally 12 minute drive down the road. most use their trucks like a glorified sedan with a bed in the back. most of the time that's me too though.

you could totally swing that. take it from the landscaping pool budget and it'll be paid off in a couple years.

we had a Tri-star O/U as a prize at our banquet. i was turned off before i saw it because it was a brand i've never heard of before. getting my hands on it though it was a very well made gun. i didn't get to shoot it obviously but fit and finish was no issue. it changed my mind. Brownings aren't all made in Belgium anymore. BT-99s are now made in Miroku, Japan like my A-bolt. Not necessarily a bad thing and not sure if the used one your looking at is.

How's the 510 compare to the 500? My 500 20ga rattles a bit despite I've killed turkeys with it. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
