  1. I find a couple rounds through the chest stops them pretty quickly. I’ve never tried to stop one when I had a gun in my hand. I’ve stopped a couple by yelling while bow hunting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. With a proper grip it doesn’t matter how much of your finger is or isn’t on the trigger. 1 finger will never over power the other 7 with a proper grip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I couldn’t agree more! I don’t love my job! I don’t hate it but I definitely don’t love it. I picked a career that allows me to work 2 out of every 6 days and take 3 months off for deer season and another month off for turkey season. I absolutely love that my career gives me the time and money to do what I love. I would way rather have time to do what I live than have a job I love but no time to do other things.

  4. A career change is always a hard decision, I’ve never been someone that thought you had to live your job. You should like what your job gives you. Nursing is a great field and I have a ton of respect for anyone that can do it! I wish you the best of luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. When I’m doing errands my pistol is often in my truck, bank, school, post office, etc. the problem is if I’m not at work my dogs with me so I always have my windows down. Truck might be locked but still pretty easy to get in or if it’s hot my truck is running and obviously not locked. What I did was bolted a finger Print safe in my center console. My holster and gun goes in when I pull in and comes out when I get back in truck. I’m not Loading and unloading a gun in a parking lot! That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard and asking for big troubles! I can only imagine the local news paper article of the guy that negligently discharged his firearm in the school parking lot!

  6. The cheap tiny little shrimp from Walmart. The more you freeze and thaw them the better they work. I think they’re called salad shrimp? It’s the best bait I’ve ever used I’ve always used a double drop rig with a pretty heavy sinker 1/2oz or so, I fish them in the Hudson so there’s usually a pretty good current up here in the spring.

  7. Thanks for the kind words fellas! There’s plenty of room for more if anyone else is interested! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. If you’re definitely coming on Sunday can you shoot me a PM with your phone number and I’ll give you the directions to my place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I’ve got 5 in various sizes, this one is the oldest and has been abused the most. From bull reds and Cobia to bass and trout this old reel has never let me down! They’re definitely my favorite spinning reel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. This will definitely not be a safe queen it will be a shooter! The turnbull commercial is very high on my list. I want blued and wood. Nothing shiny and no engraving! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Yea it’s a lot of jingle and probably a terrible waste of money. But I’m debt free and just topped off my daughters college fund so It’s a gift to myself as much as anything, I’ve always wanted one and they get more expensive every day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. House solar panels are the biggest rip off going! Unless you have the cash to buy them outright “still a terrible investment but better than the rent to own route.” I’ve been looking at houses and houses with solar contracts are selling for 5-10% less than ones without. Most of these contracts have been sold to 2 or 3 companies since the original. The contracts stay with the houses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I have traded/bought and sold probably 20 1911’s and I currently only own one, a kimber in 10mm. I still haven’t spent a penny of any of the stimulus money and think I’m going to blow it on a custom 1911. I want one I can shoot! But I want something that is handmade by someone who cares. I’ll likely never carry it but would want to be able to if I wanted. Anyone have any high end 1911’s? Any makers I should be looking at. I know Ed brown is the easy answer but I’m looking for other options as well. Budget- I would like to stay under 5,000$ give or take. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. CDC’s website 30-39 category. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. It’s too bad the roof wasn’t higher! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Fracking doesn’t fit their agenda, fracking is clean compared to lithium mines, 500,000 gallons of polluted water per ton mined! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Wind sure worked well for Texas a month ago! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Done, wind isn’t the answer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I will definitely keep track. I did some figuring last night. Last year I put 20,000 miles on my truck. I’m figuring I’ll still drive my truck 5,000 miles between pulling the boat and hunting and ice fishing. So using 15,000 miles it’s 1,900$ in savings in gas at 3.00$ a gallon. I paid 2,000$ for the car, insurance is 300$ for the year with registration and a maintenance number I pulled from my ass at 500$ it will take about 2 years to break even.

  20. I just lucked into a 2012 Kia Forte that’s spent every winter in Florida, it’s got 73,000 miles on it. I got it cheap enough that after a year I decide the savings aren’t enough I can sell it and make money. My grandpas neighbor has decided he’s not going back to Florida for the winters anymore and doesn’t need it anymore. Wear and tear savings on the truck added to the 25 additional mpg’s should work out pretty good but time will tell. If gas goes to 5$ a gallon this summer I’ll feel like a genius.

  21. Here’s the way I look at it. I’m young and healthy. I have a 99.99998% chance of surviving Corona. It’s actually higher but impossible to know exactly because asymptomatic numbers are still unknown. The science shows that the vaccinations are 95ish% percent effective at preventing serious symptoms. As a healthy young male my likelihood of having a serious symptom is very low to begin with. The cdc still mandates mask wearing for those that are vaccinated because they don’t know how effective it is against the spread. Now please excuse my skepticism but it’s hard for me to get vaccinated against a disease that I have to get tested to know I have, with a vaccine that doesn’t prevent me from getting the disease just nearly guarantees that it will limit my symptoms, the ones I most likely won’t have to begin with. The vaccine wouldn’t prevent me from spreading it, I’ve yet to see a percentage on how effective it is against the spread. It’s still unknown how long the vaccine lasts but most everything I’ve found is saying around 3 months. In 3 months you’ll need a booster of some sort. So without any vaccine and without the excellent effectiveness of it I have a 99.9998% chance of survival. I’ve yet to see a study done on long term side effects but it had better be side effect free for a lot more than that 99.9998% % for me to even consider getting the vaccine. I have had this exact same discussion with both of my doctors and neither one disagreed with my decision. My one doctor still hasn’t gotten vaccinated for the exact reasons I haven’t. He’s young healthy and not at all worried about the disease effecting him. If in a year or 2 we find out more and the numbers come out and say that you’re 99% less likely to spread it if vaccinated than I’ll likely get it. Until then I’ll pass. I’m extremely proud of this country and the way we were able to get the vaccine rolled out for those that needed it, it still blows my mind how fast it was done. If you’re older, fat or have other issues that would hurt your chances of survival it should be a no brainer to get the shots! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I couldn’t care less what anyone wants to do with their bodies but the military isn’t the place for social experiments! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Wouldn’t own a truck without a big tank! I never let it get below half but I’ve been quarantined so I’ve been driving from my house to my woodlot and a couple shed hunting trips up north so she was below E! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
