That does look like fun and it seems you guys are shooting well. I have to wait another two months before the shoots start around here. That's ok I guess,i just ordered some new strings and some arrows.

It is not politicians importing chinese crap,it is companies selling cheap crap and people buying it. As it is right now the U.S military budget is more than double of China's.

I agree with your last paragraph,but the debate is tiring to me. Trumps foreign policy being a success also depends on your point of view. There were plenty of countries laughing at the U.S for having elected him,and then almost re-electing him. Really,everything is subjective. I am right in my mind and you guys are in yours. That's fine. I am glad that @rachunter knows me better than i know myself. I dont hate Trump and am moving on anyway,he is irrelevant now.

Obama wasn't perfect,for sure. You saying he had no political experience is true,interesting point though when Trump had none. If Trump was so smart,how come he put a lot of effort into keeping his school records secret? Word on the street is Bowmanmike has a real high IQ as well,haha. Obama was about as quiet about race as a black president could have been,i think what happened is a lot of people's racism bubbled up to the surface with a black man in power. I do agree with one of your earlier posts,it is interesting how we all can look at the same thing and have a completely different conception of it. America should be first for an American president but not in a 4th grade bully way. No one knew where they stood with Trumps erratic foreign policy. But i waste my time here,you guys have your perception,i have mine and we all love to hunt deer. Well,most of us anyway.

Also a great rebuttal.

Excellent rebuttal,bravo.

Ok,here we go. I think a president should set a good example for everybody,at the least be civil and decent,you know lead by example. Obama checked those for me,Trump failed all three. Obama actually is smart where Trump wants to appear smart. That leads to the fact that as a leader you should surround yourself with the most qualified people in their respective areas and listen to their input as they are the experts. Obama did that,Trump tried to be the smartest person in the room. Chlorox as a covid cure anyone? Or light from inside the body? I guess it is mainly about character and honesty for me. Trump lied about the dumbest shit because he needs to appear great. The inauguration crowd? Stormy Daniels? Talking about grabbing women by the pussy? In my opinion Trump is a complete fraud who only got to where he is by starting out rich and bullying and playing people and the system. He had some smarts in that area. I dont hate Trump by the way,a looser like that doesnt deserve that deep of a feeling,plus it is not good for oneself to be hating. Trump was the big divider,his way or the highway. Did anyone fire more of his staff? I was very glad to have Obama at the helm when the great recession hit. I think that was handled pretty well. I also think in general Obama's speeches were more about hope and positive things where Trumps were more combative. I dont think admitting that America is not perfect is acceptable,no country or person is. To pretend the opposite is delusional and counterproductive. As far as policies go i think Obama tried to work with other leaders where Trump just tried to dominate. I dont know about you guys,but i know who i would rather deal with. What is truly amazing to me is that so many people were willing to look past all of Trumps flaws and mis-steps and to follow him blindly. Can anyine explain that to me? You may agree with his politics,but as a critically thinking person how can you not see what a malicious doofus he is? I am not excited about Biden by the way,I wish Bernie had gotten thw nomination. Here is a politician that has stood by his principles forever.

He may hunt from the ground,but does he shoot stuff as well? That matthews still needs breaking in...

Trump could have been running as Democrat and i would feel the same about him. I do think Obama was a good president. I will have to sit down and write a long response to @Northcountryman question.

Not quite,but you dont see differentiation. Must be nice...

See,to me you are describing Trump to a T,you only forgot selfish. How anyone could think that guy is looking out for him is beyond me.

It might surprise you guys,but i felt exactly that way about our last president.

There is a politics section for this kind of topic... That way it is kept out of the general area.

Welcome,a fellow 4F hunter,how exciting.

That's a good one,haha. Actually better than my joke.

I think Grouse has a crush!

I stopped using cameras,they did not help me much besides showing who is around. Good bucks would generally only allow their picture to be taken once. I lost a camera as well,i should not have moved it in the deep fresh snow. I never found the same spot again. I think the strap was sun damaged and it fell off. Cameras certainly have their place,i just dont enjoy using them a whole lot. I do more scouting both in and off season since i stopped using them. I killed my biggest buck so far last year,but it was a case of being in the right spot at the right time. I set up at the point of a ridge between two oak patches,and the buck was following a doe trail between the two like he was supposed to.

Hey,i dont think the red fox option is listed!!!

Couldn't agree more.

Season is closed over christmas,you can thank the DEC for your lucky stars @Belo

I have to agree with @Rack Attack,the longer season is not going to affect deer numbers taken by much. Most people are done by then anyway. There are hardly any vehicles by the state land around here during muzzy season. A split gun season would make more sense,even if that would cut into my bow season...

It was plenty expensive the last four years..Generally the right is only concerned with balancing a budget when they are in the minority. Tax breaks for the rich are helping the rest of us how?

The left thought Trump would ruin this country and he only managed a certain amount of damage. It will be a similar amount with the democrats at the wheel. This end of the world stuff is BS.

Excellent news. That will be a great chance to top off the freezer if it needs it. Deer will be back to normal by then for sure. They do act pretty normal by the time muzzleloader season is over anyway.

I am just hypothesizing. I very well may be wrong. I am not the one talking about the next civil war and the left being on the attack,it's a war. I am just tired of folks talking in absolutes when the truth is somewhere closer to the center.
