  1. I have an old Buck 105 I use on deer to open the belly and split the ribs. I also use it to split the pelvis. Then I do the fine work with an old Buck 110. I carry other smaller knives while small game and waterfowl hunting, depending on the game I'm hunting. I have more knives than I ever use, but not as many as I want. I even had a couple of Randall knives I would never use. One day, when I came to my senses, I sold them for a good price to a collector who will never use them. I still have about a dozen that will probably never be used, even though I intended to use them when I bought them.
  2. I hope my review shows up on it. I said I put the sign in the business window on Monday and got robbed at gun point on Thursday.
  3. I remember every one of those, but I'm sure dirt was around a while when I was born.
  4. NIKE should be boycotted for life. "You want to talk about someone in the NFL sacrificing everything? Pat Tillman. NFL STARTING, not benched, player who left to join the Army and died for it. THAT is sacrificing everything for something you believe in. How about other warriors? Warriors who will not be on magazine covers, who will not get lucrative contracts and millions of followers from their actions and who have truly sacrificed everything. They did it because they believed in something. Indeed, the one who sacrificed everything isn't the ingrate millionaire who hates his country despite his success and who turned a failing football career into social justice martyrdom and a lucrative ad campaign. It's America's Patriot Armed Forces and their families — particularly the ones who lost their lives serving the country they love. It's men like Pat Tillman and Chris Kyle." Mark Alexander
  5. Sacrificing everything means you lost it all after expressing your beliefs, not finding something to create controversy that will grab attention and publicity after you are about to lose everything. Also, did anyone else notice these NFL leftists didn't protest, or even discuss the myth of police brutality during the off season on their own time? Guess it really isn't so important to them after all, now is it?
  6. This has been common knowledge for NIKE for years. You need to stay informed. Click on the links for details. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lormand/poli/nike/nike101-4.htm How much do Nike sweatshop workers get paid? Not surprisingly, the countries that produce the most Nike merchandise pay some of the lowest wages. Vietnam has the most Nike contract factory workers, according to an interactive map on Nike's website. Those workers in 2001 earned the equivalent of $73.94 per month in 2014 U.S. dollars.May 20, 2014 How much do sweatshop workers get paid in China? Workers at a factory in China used by the company that makes clothing for Ivanka Trump's fashion line and other brands worked nearly 60 hours a week to earn wages of little more than $62 a week, according to a factory audit released Monday.Apr 25, 2017 http://thehigherlearning.com/2015/04/09/u-s-factory-workers-make-76-times-more-per-hour-than-workers-in-indonesia/
  7. Hillary got a lot more press, but thankfully, most Americans are fed up with the media's propaganda pushing leftists on them.
  8. When people discuss this guy, it's most often in response to something he's doing again that people feel needs to be addressed. The man's a complete fraud, pushing a false narrative, to advance a leftist anti-police agenda. The data doesn't support their claims, but the media won't discuss the data. It's not smart to let that type of thing slide.
  9. Sherry Potter 20 hrs Dear Nike, I want to have a conversation about this hat. It's over 13 years old. I don't remember when I bought it exactly, I don't remember where I bought it. But what I do remember is why I wore it. On August 10, 2005, I was a newlywed with two young sons. My husband Tim and I had toasted our one month anniversary the night before, and I was enjoying a rare evening to myself, catching up on reading and relishing the quiet. Until there was a knock on my door. I had no way of knowing that the small act of turning a knob was about to shatter my life into a million pieces. I sat numb and in sheer disbelief as I was told that my husband, while in a foot pursuit and subsequent struggle with a suspect that ended up in the road, had been struck and killed by an oncoming vehicle. He took his last breath lying in the middle of the street. What I lost in that moment is indescribable. I had to watch his mother be dealt the most agonizing blow a parent can face, and I couldn't comfort her because I was in my own hell. I had to find a way to gut my own children in the gentlest way possible, and tell them that this man they had come to love, who they looked up to, who cared for them as his own, would never walk through our door again. I don't know if you've ever attended a police funeral, but watching grown men who've seen the absolute worst things a civilian can imagine, break down and sob over the casket of their brother is an image that never leaves you. The bagpipes haunt my dreams to this day, but it was the faces of my children, the innocence that abandoned them at such a tender age that brought me to my knees. I had no choice but to move on. We trudged zombie-like through our days for weeks and weeks on end. I never left the house except to drive the boys to school, or buy food we barely touched. I realized that I had to do something. I had to move my body or I was going to crawl out of my own skin. So I put on the only cap I had and I went for a run. It was short, it hurt and it was ugly. But I felt, just for those few moments on that road, like a normal person. So I kept doing it. I put that hat on and I ran every day. Sometimes I had to stop and sit down because I was sobbing so hard. Sometimes I was so angry I ran until I thought I my heart would stop, sometimes I would just scream over and over again, but it still felt better than doing nothing. That black cap became a symbol to me, it is sweat stained and it's shape is gone, the buckle in the back barely closes; but that hat represents my family's rise from the ashes. It stands for the strength and the sacrifice we made loving a man who had a job that we all knew could end his life, every time he walked out that door. And it did. And I accept that. I still wear this hat, I wore it on my run this morning. And then I heard about your new ad campaign. Colin Kapernick has the absolute right to protest anything he damn well pleases. I don't dispute that for one second. My father, my husband and many, many friends have all served this country and were willing to fight for his right to kneel. But that right goes both ways. I also have a right to express my disgust at your decision to portray him as some kind of hero. What, exactly has Colin Kapernick sacrificed? His multi million dollar paycheck...? Nope, you already gave him one of those. His reputation? No, he's been fawned over by celebrities and media alike. Funny, Tim Tebow was never called courageous when he knelt. This man, whose contempt for law enforcement fits him like a...sock, has promoted an agenda that has been proven false time and time again, in study after study. But facts don't seem to matter anymore. This man has thrown his support behind divisive anti-police groups, and donated money directly to a fugitive from justice who escaped prison after killing a police officer. I question the judgement of anyone who would put someone this controversial and divisive at the head of an advertising campaign, but it isn't my company to run. I don't know if I'll have he heart to ever get rid of this cap, but I will tell you this, I'll never purchase another Nike product as long as I live. You got this one wrong Nike, terribly, terribly wrong. Sherry Graham-Potter, surviving spouse of Deputy Tim Graham
  10. Which he uses to claim America is keeping the black man down.
  11. Nike is betting there are more people supporting Kap and the NFL that will buy it's crap, then there are people who don't support the kneeling and don't buy it's crap. It's true they are utilizing the free market here, but they are promoting a myth by doing so. The whole kneeling protest is based on a myth designed to divide the country (and has gotten a lot of police officers killed) and Nike seems to think that's fine. I hope more people than not, decide to have a free market impact here, by boycotting both the NFL and Nike, for life. That's how the free market works to punish leftist corporations that put money into the hands of subversive agendas.
  12. The .30 carbine is legal in NY for deer and using soft point bullets within 50 yards, it is quite capable of bringing down a whitetail deer. I've taken a few with one over the years. The 7.62x39 is about equal to the .30-30 and nobody questions it's ability to kill whitetail. The rest you mentioned may not be made for deer hunting, but in the hands of a hunter skilled in using one, deer will be taken quite easily. Not the best choice? Depends on the choices available. When you consider the only real difference between poor folk and rich folk, is that rich folk have more choices, maybe it was the guy's best choice. Or maybe the old SKS just enhances the quality of the hunt for the guy. Freedom of choice.
  13. If it's a legal round to hunt deer with, it has the capability to do so within it's limits. However, the hunter has got to know it's limitations as well as their own.
  14. I don't really worry about the round as much as the bullet it shoots. The .22 caliber centerfires get a bad rap because some guys shoot deer with them when they are spewing varmint bullets that fail to penetrate. If you shoot a Barnes TTSX in a .223, you will get good penetration and enough expansion to do the job. As far as putting the bullet in the right place goes, that's easy on the range, but an animal may move at the very last micro second and the bullet may strike some heavy bone. You need decent energy for that. My concern with .22 centerfires is the lack of decent energy at longer ranges. I think hunting with them really handicaps a hunter with limited range on deer. Lots of rounds do, but the .22 centerfires are the ones many hunter's don't realize do. I think the only bad round for deer is one that's not legal.
  15. If not for double standards, Leftists would have no standards at all.
  16. Cuomo, like most leftists, doesn't know a thing about the US Constitution, individual liberty or rule of law. The US Constitution is a legal document designed to limit the power of the government. Cuomo is a big proponent of violating the Constitution anytime he can get away with it. It didn't hear him say anything about the political corruption in PR that caused all the aid sent there to get stolen and diverted. Do people realize how much money Cuomo's lawsuits cost the taxpayers in NY State?
  17. The majority of the public would vehemently protest that and it is only a privilege to drive, whereas the 2nd Amendment is a Constitutional right. If enough of the populace objects to something, the government would never do it. People don't really care about people getting killed. They only care about how they get killed. The majority of the public certainly doesn't care about abortion and blacks killing each other in Chicago.
  18. I was born to hunt. As a child I can recall taking friends into the woods to show them how to hunt, when nobody had ever taken, or shown me. It was innate, as if I was a hunter in a prior life. I mostly associated with people who would take me hunting as I grew up. I always thought hunting was great. I loved reading Sports Afield in my early years of grade school, spending time in the woods as much as I could. Fishing was great too, but hunting was greater. I'm going into my 48th hunting season this year. I have done nothing else in my life for that many years. It's an all consuming passion that steers my life's course, and I'm quite pleased with the course it has taken me on. How did I learn? I'm still learning. That's part of the lure.
  19. When these studies come out and get wide support from people who find it help's push their agenda, without any peer review or secondary analysis, especially when the researcher refuses to present the data for review, one has to suspect it is completely intentional and corrupt. Still, it gets pushed vigorously on the naive public and sold as fact, while actively calling for removal of individual freedom and rights. We lose more of our freedoms when the public voluntarily gives them up, without questioning the government's desire to take them from us. It serves the people well to have a healthy mistrust of the government. The government has earned it.
  20. There sure are a lot of them birds in your area. Seems they need to have their numbers thinned for sure.
  21. So sorry to hear this Eddie. Keep us updated and keep your spirits up. Wishing you the best.
  22. I would really like to hear their spokesman explain the racial inequality they're protesting. Perhaps the reason they're getting push back is because they don't make their case well.
  23. The NRA and Republicans are not members of a "Protected" class. It's amazing how the law has been twisted to allow for legal discrimination of anyone not protected by the government, when it was supposed to stop discrimination and harassment against anyone.

    The one in the video is $4000. That's pretty steep. How many years will it last?
