  1. Dying from and dying after are two very different meanings.
  2. From Dec. 14 through March 8, VAERS received 1,637 reports of people dying after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the CDC. That covers all 50 states, several U.S. territories, and Americans living abroad. More than 92 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States during that time, the CDC noted. “CDC and [Food and Drug Administration] physicians review each case report of death as soon as notified and CDC requests medical records to further assess reports,” it said. “A review of available clinical information including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records revealed no evidence that vaccination contributed to patient deaths,” the agency said.
  3. I'm not sure of current status but the animal park in Wyoming county might be an option if they are open. Pre-pandemic it was a cool experience. In amongst alot of animals and was able to feed them.
  4. Call Jerkman's attorney! Make it pink cellophane and up to $250! LOL
  5. I will pay you $100 to wrap Biz's truck in cellophane so he can't get in and has to spend all day unravelling it. In fact, I'll double it to $200 for your wife, as well. That way you can enjoy some quality time making someone's day a little brighter.
  6. Brush guards and bull bars are called damage multipliers for a reason. A steel bumper will require heavier load springs and suspension and it gets $ fast. Aluminum is also an option, lighter, but more expensive and creases/bends easy without ability to rework it. With regard to rear ending, people liked to post photos of minimized damage as evidence. But in most cases the bar pushes the energy to the frame, which can cause hidden damage (if not inspected) or do things like throw specs out of whack (causing uneven tire wear, water leaks, and so on). For me, the real concern is that the bars bypass the designed safety features of the car. Bumpers are designed to crush, absorb, and displace impact energy properly. They're designed that way for a reason, let them do their job. The last thing you want is a hard impact and the airbags not tripping and the energy going right into the frame and cab with no reduced absorption/spreading of energy. Hard pass. Hard pass. In a former life I was an ICAR Gold certified estimator for collision repair and accident re-enactment.
  7. Legality of use aside, they have helped some people recover deer. Plus they're just cool. I want one so bad. Haven't yet because it's a slippery slope. I'd be all in 6 mos. later with like my third or fourth upgraded drone....ha.
  8. nice timing. its so rare but feels awesome when it happens. I've been mostly sitting on my dividend plays. Frustrated I missed out on one of the lower raw materials stocks I was eyeballing a month ago now sitting at a full double in 30 days. FOMO on that one.
  9. Right, it's once upon realization in this scenario.
  10. Yes, rising prices = higher taxes. A property valued and taxed at 100K sells for 125K is now going to be taxed at 125K. Taxes of $3K now go to $4K; obviously pre manipulation/reduction efforts, but when rising land prices are realized in the market the tax implications go up. No different than homes. It may happen immediately or at re-assessment by the jurisdiction. Depends on the specifics and timing of last assessment. Either way, it results in a higher starting point for taxes. Meanwhile the same parcel in Ohio gets taxed at $800 and the price increase from $100K to $125K now makes it $1,000. Still went up with the increased land price, but only $200 vs. $1,000. Difference of $800 a year.
  11. I've been in the market and its underwhelming. The per acre prices have gone up alot; and the subsequent tax scenarios make it shockingly expensive. I've noticed the inflation of per acre prices more here than in other markets (which I've been looking at simultaneously for the past year). I've started looking more in Ohio and also Kentucky, IL, and MO. They used to be more per acre in many cases, but the NY ground is now on par and add in tax implications, much more outlay overall. Crazy.
  12. The Burris FF3 has been popular as of late on the .410 crowd. We have Sig Romeo Zero coming in to go on ours.
  13. I have reached out to a few but none of them can promise anything or even by when. I see a few on the marketplace type sites and may go that route. Just not a fan of buying and not being able to inspect and see for myself before buying.
  14. I have 9 for the season and my hunting partner 3, which I believe is probably my best count in 3-4 years and by far my best "start" to a shed hunting season. That said, it'll tail off quickly. One of our best shed hunting spots doesn't exist any longer - literally wiped off the map due to clear cutting and earth moving. If I found more than one or two more, I'd be surprised. I don't and won't shed hunt areas I can't hunt or at least deer that I can't hunt. I don't hold value in finding a shed that I'll never be able to pursue. Some people use them for art, for resale, or home decorations, etc. I'm in it for the hunting component. Find trails that come off fields getting into tight cover. I'll find quite a few in those spots. Usually that and places where deer have to jump. Fences, creek banks, etc.
  15. Confirmed a few 2021 targets.
  16. Several of our properties are going through big (and negative) changes unfortunately. We'll keep looking for another spot but starting to focus on punching the bow tags early and heading out of state this year. We found one side of our #1 buck and have confirmed a few nice two year olds and a three year old made it through in addition to the #1. So, goal is to have our bow buck tags punched before October ends, then head out of state. Might not even be here for the regular opener. Then, when back, leverage the weekends and late season food sources. We'll be heading out of state at the end of the month to scout and prep.
  17. if the soil is in shape or best you can get for the time being with lime and other amendments...fertilize! It makes a world of difference IMO with brassicas. They love N but we usually go with triple 10 or 15 and lay it on. The difference in even a week or two is astounding. I plant and fert at the same time lightly and then come back 30 days later with it again and it hits a growth spurt fast.
  18. The large companies are valued at way more multiples than people historically are comfortable with. I think that is what is causing them the dropsies....them Amazon, etc.
  19. Radish, PTT, DER has been a reliable mix for us. We will mix in some wheat/rye/peas at times too. Clover we usually mix medium red and I prefer Alice white clover but usually end up with ladino due to availability. I know people push hard on brassica and going direct, but if you're putting in a 1/4 or 1/2 acre, alot of the buck on bag mixes can work well (some are full-on traps). I buy half my seed from TSC and the other half from an Agway. You can't tell them apart, and the driving distance along offsets the cost.
  20. I won't buy from Hancock any longer. Bought from them using a credit card, that had never been used before, and it was the only charge. Had an employee there decide to go on a spending spree with my card. That was fun. They shipped me a ton of free seed which was nice when all said and done, but that was enough of that business.
  21. I got back into my drip/dividend play stocks right at the right time. I prefer the long game I guess.
  22. State land can be productive but you need to ensure you get out what you want. Some people prefer a small slice of private over vast public because it is what they want - peace, quiet, unless something goes awry, nobody on your ground without you saying so, etc. There are pockets of public that will produce. The comment about county is true, also look for local govt owned land. Often times they are small parcels and or hard to reach but the by laws sometimes don't explicitly forbid hunting.
  23. We're trying to debate going out there for turkey or going this month to do legit shed hunting and scouting before green-up! We didn't see turkey there but there were turkey feathers on the ground!!!! LOL Edit...I guess I completely forgot that I saw five gobblers on the firearms opener....so yes they are there! HA.
  24. I'm no expert in that space that is for sure. There are several here that have much more experience at it than me. That trip started the night we were texting back and forth though with that late night recovery and realizing we had time and no buck tags left!
