I have nothing to add other than to say that you are an interesting guy, Phade.

There's a gold and silver vending machine on 57th St if you're desperate.

Apparently, the cat was filed with quills and starving. But damn, that guy didn't hesitate.

He nearly beheaded it. I'm sure he damaged the spine.

Claimed.

I thought this was interesting: That is the most clear explanation for breakthrough infections I've read. Meanwhile, they're running out of morgue space in Idaho ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/09/25/idaho-funeral-homes-coronavirus/

This is a short, clear and fair explanation of what the booster does and how the vaccine generally works. https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/what-covid-booster-shots-can-and-cant-do

I think you missed the point. Lots of people stop or even get stuck at 3 and miss the zen of 4. I would say that half of the posts here during deer season seem to be, "Didn't see a deer, but what a great day of hunting." Or as said by Thoreau: "Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." Nearly everyone doesn't care about the why, what or how you hunt as long as it's legal. You, however, seem to question everyone else's motive. Is it deer semen?

Four stages of an angler: I want to catch a fish. I want to catch a lot of fish. I want to catch a big fish. I just want to go fishing. Seems to apply to many here.

Sure thing, Otto. DM me your address and I'll pop it in the mail.

C'mon, man! I'm bringing my wife. Oh wait ...

Closing it up in late November then heading to Mexico for a few months. GTG Tijuana style?

The whole thread just got weirder.

Jumped up to the main cabin and finally trimmed out the windows and put up some batten. Going to look like a circus tent for a year or so.

Lancaster Archery sent me the wrong tab and told me to just keep it, so I'm passing it on. It is a medium and designed for left-handed trad archers.

Is lunch included? Can you just answer a couple of questions as I am dead curious. Are these deer fed and raised in a farm and then put into this high fence area to be hunted? Are they fed there as well? How much time elapses between the release and the hunt? Do I buy a specific deer before my hunt?

Of feeding them? Probably. Do they come running to the sound of the side-by-side? You can't have this both ways. Every place I've looked at guaranteed success but now you're saying that, in fact, it could be harder than hunting wild deer on public land. My guess, is that guys aren't paying 10K for a farmed fenced challenge. They are, as you suggested earlier, shooting the deer they paid for then going for a soak in the hot tub.

I think there's a difference between a state-run stocking program of pheasant or trout and a private pay-for-play big game operation. These bucks ... are they fed? Every one of these high fence sites I look at all but guarantees success of whatever size antler you buy. That doesn't sound too challenging.

The difference is that few if any guys would mount it. Or brag about it. This seems to be a recurring theme with you ... how much money you make raising deer. If it's legal, then enjoy. But it seems a weird justification on a hunting forum.

Best part is that once the car was up they figured "what the hell" and decided to do a tire rotation.

It looks diseased.

That's a common misconception perpetrated by SNL. Don Jr is considered the idiot in and outside the family. "Never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking." I can't believe Biz hasn't seen it. Next thing you know he's going to say he hasn't watched Cool Hand Luke. No, but I'm not sure I'm following your point. There's no equivalence between heart disease and covid. Both can be exacerbated by lifestyle choice, but only one is contagious and mitigated by simple behavioural changes and an effective vaccine. And don't call me Shirley. You're not wrong. When kids were walking around in the '60s throwing up two fingers and saying "peace," I was responding with the split finger "live long and prosper."

Number 2 on AFI's Greatest American Films of all Time. It's a must watch as is GF2. Brando won Best Actor (arguably his greatest role) and it also picked up Best Picture and Screenwriting.
