  1. You know what they say. You wake up in the morning and work for your boss. Then you get to go home and work for your other boss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Help!!

    That's not an arm guard. It's just a sleeve that holds your jacket sleeve tight so your string doesn't touch it. Does very little to protect the arm. An arm guard will also hold your jacket sleeve tight as well, I guess.
  3. Here's is a moral philosophical question to ponder. If lets say there is a 5% false accusation rate (which is pretty ridiculously high in my opinion). Would it be worth it to erroneously jail one innocent person is it means 20 ruthless murderers are removed from the streets?
  4. We should not discriminate. Hunting is for everyone. Even those with bad hand-eye coordination should have the opportunity to enjoy this sport. [sarcasm].

    Help!!

    I use this. Helps some. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11972987
  6. Not as crowded as regular season. I've never hunted Sterling on opening day but I've been told its filled with hikers. I guess that's why they don't allow firearms in there till Nov. 1st. Whenever I hunt Sterling, I usually hike in deep. Can't imagine too many hikers going in that far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
  7. Your shotgun must have a plug that limits it to 3 rounds when hunting waterfowl. The plug is not required for any other game. West Point is for active military personnel a only and their immediate family only if they are accompanied by their military kin. I haven't been there in a couple of years so I don't know of they've change the restrictions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
  8. I toyed around with iron sights on a few occasions but then I get frustrated because I'm so used to (or you can say spoiled) with the kind of grouping and accuracy I get with my scope that I always end up putting a scope on it. I hate...absolutely hate missing. Especially when there's a life on the other end of the barrel. I'll keep my iron sights for paper targets just for fun.
  9. Seems to me this person had way too much info on your stuff (location) etc. strong possibility the thief met you on time or another or might still be in your mist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
  10. Always play the wind. If I remember, I'll spray some scent killer.
  11. If your parents are not okay with you hunting alone are you sure they're fine with you hunting with a complete stranger you met on the internet?
  12. I agree. Whenever I look down on a kill, I get a mixed feeling of joy and sadness.

  14. I hear Obama is going after the Al-Queda because they're clearly violating the high capacity magazine ban.
  15. Bear Charge Package. Whatever brand of whisker biscuit and sight that came with it.
  16. I grab what ever is legal at the location, the season, and the game. If every is available, I prefer my Remington 700 VTR in .308 with a Nikon 3X9 - 40mm scope and Remington Core-Lokt soft points in 150 grains.
  17. Experienced with small calibers but not experienced with large calibers? I don't think it matters what caliber she uses. Pointing the muzzle in an unsafe direction is dangerous regardless of what caliber it is.

  20. Yes I did. I was wearing a harness but the fall happened right when I removed it from the tree trunk so I can latch it on a part of the trunk that was above a branch. 2 mistakes I made. First was climbing a tree not ideal for climbers due to its smooth surface. Second was I was standing too close to the trunk so I didn't have maximum tension. Lucky for me, the worst I got was a large scrape on my chest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
  21. Mount and brag...but I won't hide the fact that it was an escaped farmed buck.
  22. Growing up, I wanted to be either a professional baseball player, a national geographer explorer/photographer, or a jet pilot. I was taught early on by my parents that you priorities (and what makes you happy) will change over the course of your life and left me more confused. I stumbled around major but found out that I had a knack for computers and quick decision making. I became a network engineer - systems administrator - help desk supervisor - and now, computer support supervisor. I was fortunate enough that aside from technical courses, I also took a lot of project management and communication courses as well. Oddly enough, when I first starting working, engineering was my path. Now, I almost never touch a computer. All my work is on the planning and administrative side. All those project management and communication course I took on the side is what I use now. I second Belo's comment about very few people are truly happy with their work. Most people tolerate their work enough and seek their happiness else where. Unless your job is to sip Mai Tai's on a beach in Tahiti, you probably don't love your job that much. Ask yourself this. If you won the powerball...would you still continue to your job? When I was younger, my happiness was traveling, rooftop bars, and loose women. My dream jobs would afford me those things. As I got older, my happiness is more along the lines of spending time with my family, stability, and financial freedom. I have that now. If I want to make plans, I can. No "I don't know if I can take off" or "Oh, I'll be out of town that day". Nope. I just call in and tell my boss I won't be in that day so as long as I have my work taken care of and everything is up to speed and on schedule. I may not be 45+ but now I'm pass that drinking and going out stage. I've settle down, establish some deep roots. Do I still sometimes say to myself "man, I should became an airline pilot"? Yes, from time to time. But now that I'm married and with a kid on their way, I'm happy I didn't. I can't imagine son's first baseball game and not being able to be there to see it. Bottom line is that what makes you happy now most likely won't be what will make you happy in the future but you won't know what for sure will make you happy in the future. You can only do the best to prepare yourself for whatever may come your way. If you want to relate that to hunting - we always call some "lucky" because that huge buck came his way. Sure he was lucky. But let's not forget the fact that he was out in the woods with the rifle in his hand. You can't be "lucky" sitting at home in your couch. Be out there with as many tools as possible and you'll eventually get a chance to be "lucky".
