Yeah, does anyone have an old barn or something that they can set on fire in the Catskills? Rattler claims to be a fireman, so maybe he'll be called to put it out and we won't have to listen to him here.

What I'd like to know is how in the world did this guy get chosen as the Surgeon General of the United States? He was apparently head of Pence's health department in Indiana, but I don't know if I'd trust him to put a bandaid on a cut. Many claim that Trump drained the swamp, but he sure as hell scraped the bottom of the barrel with some of his choices for key government positions.

Jeez Rattler, is Trump paying you or something? You seem to be just like him. You won't let anything negative that is said about him go. Many love Trump while others can't stand him. I can assure you that you won't change anyone's mind no matter how much you defend him here. Just letting you know. Have a good weekend.

He's a 73 year old big baby.

That is a really great deal for all that. I've always considered the Howa a very underrated rifle. They are known to be extremely accurate. They're the company that makes the Weatherby Vanguard series rifle, so they are pretty much one and the same barrel and action.

I agree. Seems like there are plenty of naysayers here about wearing masks, but I for one think they work better than the experts tell us. They may not be 100%, but even 10 or 20% is way better than the 0% when you don't wear a mask. And yes, you can contaminate yourself if you don't use them properly, but if you use some common sense how can they hurt? I don't have any N95's but I wear a homemade mask and even put a folded paper towel on the inside of it for extra protection. What the hell do I have to lose? I can fight for my other rights when this drama is over. I will admit that I was a skeptic about this virus when it first started, and the real truth is that only a small percentage will die from it, but as others have said here, you don't want any of your loved ones to be part of that small percentage. So it's best to take all the precautions we can.

I honestly believe that masks are way more effective than most people and even the experts think. Notice how the Asian countries have managed this virus way better than Europe and the US? I'm sure wearing masks had at least a little to do with this. I get the slippery slope scenario with society being ordered to do this and that, but at this point it may not be worth taking unnecessary chances. Lets just all hope that we can somehow get rid of this freaking virus and hopefully get back to normal soon.

You might want to check out the Corona Virus thread. There's a black dude there who kept showing off his banana. LOL

I was slow in planning a summer vacation this year and I guess that was a good thing. Nothing needs to be cancelled since nothing was booked. The trip that won't be cancelled is next weekends youth turkey hunt with my son. It will be his first Spring hunt. We got a 4 hour drive to our leased land and usually stay at a hotel while up there, but to avoid all human contact we will be camping out in a tent instead. We'll bring everything we need for the couple of days and sleeping outdoors should just add to the experience. We are both looking forward to this very much!

The big question is whether Fauci will be with the Trump team until this thing ends? Trump dumps people more often than I change my socks, so the odds aren't too good for him.

I absolutely won't blame Trump for any of this virus drama like some are trying to do. What could he really do 2 or 3 months ago? Shut the nation down before anyone had the virus? No one knew $#!+ what was going to happen. It's easy to point fingers now. If anything like this ever starts again somewhere in the world, the first thing the entire world needs to do is completely quarantine that nation or whatever nations the disease is spreading in. No one is to leave or go to those nations. Some could cry racism or whatever the hell they want, but this is the only way you will ever contain something like this. Continue to let people travel freely and now you can see what happens. With that said, I completely agree with your statement. Trump simply can't keep his mouth shut. It's all about him and all he wants is accolades from everyone around him. It's embarrassing to watch him.

Just got the email from the DEC. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/NYSDEC/bulletins/285b66b

My son took the course last June (I sat in with him) on Long Island and there was absolutely NO hands on with any firearms, real or fake. So from what I saw, he learned way more in the homework part than he did in the 8 hour class. I was very disappointed with the two course instructors to be quite honest.

Great find, Culver!! My son took the firearms safety course last summer, but it would be great if I can get him an online bowhunters course where he doesn't have to sit through another 8 hours of pretty much the same thing. The website is not too clear whether this includes the bowhunters course, but hopefully the DEC might clear things up when they make their statement.

Dean Martin is probably on the ground passed out drunk by the bar. LOL

Blackbeltbill's hero David Carridine from the TV show "Kung Fu" is there too. He's on the ground level way back near the stairs.

No one recognized Yul Brynner from the movie "Westworld"? He's over Clint Eastwood's right shoulder. He's dressed in black with a black hat looking back from his chair.

It's a bit hard to see him because he's short but I think I see Pygmy pinching the Dukes of Hazzard girl's (the one carrying the beer) butt.

I don't know. I've seen enough play on some guns when sliding the barrel back into the receiver to make me wonder.

I don't think I'd go hunting with those guns before I shot them. Just eyeballing those fiber optic sights on to the barrel and thinking they are perfectly aligned doesn't mean they are.

I wish they made more turkey barrels for semi-auto and pump guns that had the cantilever style scope mounts, like many slug barrels have. To me they make the most sense, but it doesn't seem like there are too many out there being made for many popular shotguns. If you have the scope or red dot mounted above the receiver or with one of those side saddle mounts what are the odds that your gun will remain in zero if you remove the barrel for cleaning? That set up doesn't give me a lot of confidence, thus I've stuck to the plain front and center bead open sights. At least the gun will shoot where I'm aiming, and if I miss I will have no one to blame but myself.

I think the biggest reason it didn't get too bad in South Korea is due to people wearing masks. You would think it would have gotten out of control in other Asian countries as well, but they don't have any issues wearing masks, so this helped the situation. I think wearing masks, bandanas, anything on your face works better than we in this country had been told at the start. It seems like we were way late to the game with wearing them.

I agree, Cabela's is definitely NOT what they used to be. Luckily I haven't needed their customer service, but I know that you rarely get any good deals online anymore. You used to be able to find some good stuff discounted in their bargain cave, but now there is hardly anything worth buying. Everything is way over-priced on everything the sell.

You nailed it right there. I can't stand to look at Cuomo's face, but those who think that Trump is showing exemplary leadership in this mess or that the Fed's are somehow doing a great job are sadly mistaken.
