Yep. http://freebeacon.com/columns/pardon-hillary-now/ I personally believe presidential pardons are terrible ideas.

Thordsen stock is pretty sweet. I think you should go that routed instead of bothering with a fixed mag, if you were debating it.

Yep, it's about time he pardoned her "for the good of the country" to "save us" from Trump. I also believe presidents can pardon themselves. Also it appears they can pardon themselves also before they are even convicted. One thing we can say with total certainty: if she is ever elected she will never be convicted of anything; preemptive pardoning for everything. This could be for her and her entire cabal. It is so incumbent, so absolutely crucial trump not say a thing now and don't be stupid about this. This has to be about clinton, not him.

It is there now. it is on the head of every network from clinton news to NPR.

Mine have all been at least 250 field dressed.

Yeah, that. In the history of october surprises I would say that the FBI announcing 11 days out that you're now yet again embroiled in a criminal investigation is pretty damn significant. It's too bad no investigation will close by the time the election happens but as long as trump doesn't screw this up, this serves as a fantastic reminder of the greatest scandal of her run, ripped open anew just before people go and vote. Her camp must now be scrambling.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/28/politics/fbi-reviewing-new-emails-in-clinton-probe-director-tells-senate-judiciary-committee/index.html?adkey=bn (CNN)FBI Director James Comey said Friday the bureau is reviewing new emails related to Hillary Clinton's time as secretary of state, according to a letter sent to eight congressional committee chairmen, a surprise development with 11 days until the election. After recommending this year that the Department of Justice not press charges against the Secretary of State, Comey said in the letter that "recent developments" urged him to take another look. "In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear pertinent to the investigation," Comey wrote the chairmen. "I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation." Wow, thanks, Comey. Nothing like taking your job seriously 11 days out from the general. Let me guess, you found a bunch more classified emails but "no prosecutor" would charge this case, eh? Thanks for waiting until it's too late for anything but news conjecture from these. By the time you finish investigating, if Clinton has won office, she will just pardon herself.

Yep after the last one, a carbon copy of my event last year, I bought not only a cart but spent hours researching pulley systems and now I have one. I believe I can now hoist a deer up any damn incline I want!

Any deer is big when you're dragging it up a 45 degree incline, and that slope is no exaggeration, either. I have to imagine it would be even worse dragging up a "big" one.

My favorite memory of the deer is eating it. The couple of long drags I've had are pretty awful if I'm totally honest about it

You know until this thread I wondered how the hell do people ever die during deer season--even without blaze orange? Obviously it increases visibility but I can't imagine shooting at something that is simply moving and I cannot confirm it's a deer. Now I know how: it's people with no discipline shooting wildly without a care for what is beyond their target.

Wow that's a pretty cool trip. I want to do something like this at some point. Good luck!

Ethical hunter would say no: keep all shots on deer to the head area only never shoot out past 800 yards with rifle, 400 yards with shotgun 150 yards max with vertical bow (100 yards if recurve) in wide open areas pre-exhaust the deer first with a drone chasing it to ensure that if the hit isn't clean it lacks the energy to go far afterward

It sucks. Snow completely destroyed this for you covering the trial as you slept, and that was out of your control. Short of a dog I don't see how you could get it at this point unless you happen to stumble upon it somehow.

I clicked the thread because the pic of you and the deer came up. Very well taken picture, like magazine good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have some symptoms. Not full blown disease but I did ditch work last Friday to walk around in the rain, so i think that qualifies.

I just personally won't do it. The drop off in activity during the day by deer is profound (even during the rut it is less than sunrise/sunset, no doubt) and although I can get a couple hours after sunrise or sunset, if I tell my family I'm gone all day and I know the odds of a deer coming under my stand are virtually nil during the day anyway I just won't do it. Increasingly people are spending time indoors in front of screens. Kids do it, adults do it. Many adult males my age are so distanced from anything outdoors or conventionally masculine that they can barely even paint a wall, let alone take it upon themselves to get outside of the house and embrace something physical. I have a guy across the street who's one and only hobby is watching pro sports. This guy is about 38 and he's so essentially incapable that he owns no tools (had to borrow my tools when he was setting up a basketball net from a box for pete's sake and it took him and his wife several hours to do it)!

I don't support it. If I write that here I expect it won't be delivered to the governor, so perhaps I should write his office directly expressing my desire that crossbow remain a separate sub-season of bow. I know a great many people share my view on that.

I should mention on my Mossberg 500 I was using the improved cylinder screw in choke.

Cold and overcast, looks like a great morning if you can make it out. Oh wth I just looked at the weather. Seriously another weekend of rain?

You got that right. Compared to last year parts of this season have been tropical and then it's also rained too much.

I plan on hunting with a rifle this year, but I am also going to run a through slugs through my mossberg 500. Rifled slugs are $1-1.50/piece, yet on sale/rebate I've gotten foster slugs for as little as $.30/piece, plus the rifled barrel is well over $100 for what I don't really expect to use. So I guess my answer is I doubt I will ever buy a rifled barrel because I can rifle hunt in my area (but the shotgun is a decent back up inside of 100 yards). I tested a number of slugs last year and my favorite out of my gun were the Remington 7/8 oz high speed slugs. I think they go out at 1600 fps or something. I was getting really nice groups at 75 yards. I can't remember the exact numbers but something pretty solid like 3" groups--definitely no more than 4". This was with a red dot. But all the slugs I tried including the cheap federal were all perfectly fine out to at least 75 yards--way tighter than a pie plate.

Wish you had posted pics!!!

I feel you. I have some private land a 20 min drive (not too bad) and it was great until October. I have sat a couple of mornings and a few evenings and just nothing ever comes by. In fact tonight is the first time this month I have had a chance to hunt and just didn't really want to. Hoping I can blame the last two hunts' no-sightings on the hard wind. Guess I will be back this weekend *shrug* Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the Flextone Extractor with a slide for buck down to fawn. I think it's great; it sounds like deer to me. That said, it doesn't work worth a damn for me. This isn't the device's fault--it does what it should. I just can't get deer to respond to it. That said, I can honestly say in my 1.5 seasons of hunting I've never, ever heard a deer vocalize anything, either. They must sometimes but I never hear it! I did manage to scare a couple doe off a week back trying to call them in with fawn bleat sounds. I also got another deer 80 yards back at the beginning of the month to simply look my way and then walk off after.
