Well , i don’t think that’s the point though . My belief is that it is wrong to disqualify a potential patron Of a business based on their voting patterns and sets a dangerous precedent . If this becomes the norm , then our democracy is in serious danger , I fear . The Dems started it with the Twitter / Google / Amazon nonsense which is wrong , And now it continues . Eventually , it will be nearly impossible to exercise ones suffrage without persecution in some way , shape or form And that is disturbing . And Ultimately , we’ll end up like the Soviet Union or China , with one choice only, but hey, at least it’ll be easier cuz everyone’s voting the same way !!

It is if your honest in your response

You’ll never grind the left into dust — it will never happen , same as the reverse will never happen to the right as well. There will always be opposition , Or opposing points of view in any given electorate , and that’s actually a good thing ... well , it is most of the time , at least . I think think we need to stick to our principles 100 % or the time when dealing with our political opponents and try , as much as possible , to find common ground . Once we become real people to them , it’s much harder for them to demonize us , much the same in reverse As well. That’s the only way we’ll win this struggle and I am confident that we will .

Well, probably not, but I'm not talking about gun control necessarily here--I'm talkling about excluding others in a business situation based on who they voted for. I think thats wrong...period. Again, I understand the ammo companies point of view--hell , I'm inclined to agree with them and would feel the compulsion to do the same if it were my company. But its the wrong approach , I believe because it results in oppressing others because we ourselves are being oppressed (well, at least potentially we are ). All I'm saying is that it could trigger a never ending cycle of retaliation. The Dems never seem to take that into consideration when they make choices because many of them--especially their current leaders--have no honor, but we do... right?

Conservatives will not win with this approach--essentially, becoming that which you abhor. I like to think that we are better men than them and can transend personal feelings, avoid visceral responses based entirely on emotion. A new Tyrant replacing an old Tyrant results in the same outcome for the citizenry: Tyranny.

Yes, I have but I would invoke the old adage "Two wrongs dont make a right" in reply. I'm with you in sharing the anger and frustration for all that they (i.e., the Left) do and the hypocrisy they engage in , but I do feel this is the wrong approach. It could ultimately degenerate into a "tit-for-tat" type of dynamic which is never ending and lose-lose for all and, sadly, is likely to IMHO.

Very nice!! Glad to hear it

Sounds like a good time; wish I could make it... LMK if and when you go to Delaware; I probably could do that much sooner than an Oswego trip at this point

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and invite scorn and rebuke from you guys and disagree with their stance. Let me tell you why: EVERY privately owned business has a right to do business with whoever they choose --that is clear. But do you really want this precedent to be established where businesses are asserting this right everyehwere and anywhere? This will open a floodgate IMHO and it a slippery slope. When if a bunch of libtard restaraunt owners decided to throw your butts out cuz you voted for Trump? See what I'm saying? Also, if you support their perogative to survey their customers and disqualify those who voted for Biden, does that mean you support the right for Twitter to summarily ban many conservatives the way that they have? Or google and Amazon based on business moves that theyve made? If you were against that then i would say your position appears hypocritical, although its not "quite" an apples-to-apples comparison because Twitter holds a monoply on social media and can effectively silence those they ban. In contrast, this ammo company in Michigan does not hold a monoply on ammo purchasing so those Biden voters could, conceiveably , go elsewhere for their ammo if they wanted.

I just saw his unrepentant, defiant ass on FOX; blaming others and circumstances, anything but himself. He is an absolute scumbag and truly hope he goes down for whats he's done.

I think(not sure though) he said it all came out on the internet the night of the election on one of the social media platforms but was quickly removed . Yeah, That part is kinda nebulous; I would like more clarification as to how he obtained the info myself.

Hope you're right, cuz he deserves it.

Cool ,I just signed the petition. If ever an impeachement of an elected official was warranted , it is now.

Unbelieveable, do you know why theyre pushing for the overseas one , by any chance? Does it just boil down to money!!

I noticed last season that one of the major crossing points for the deer jus happened to be across an old logging road or trail that abutted the stream. It was old and very faint--couldnt see it that well at all with the naked eye from the main road unless you actually got in there; but there it was, and made alot of sense that they were often using that spot as their main crossing point cuz it wasnt as steep and much smoother to walk. It never ceases to amaze how deer are--like people--kinda lazy and , when they are afforded the choice, will select the easiest routes to traverse that require far less effort.

I dont; he has too much cover provided by the Democrat party. He is, unfortunately, untouchable...

I know, it is a pretty tall order, thats why the guys in my club thought it would be too difficult, but I think its worth a try, at least. I think what I would do is scout it out real good this spring vis fishing excrusions and figure out stretches that provide easier access and travel. I DONT see my self traipsing up the creek for miles on end , but perhaps, could do roughly 1/2-1 mile here and there if practicable. What would be cool is to find some spots and lay down pins on myapp to erect a climber at different point along the stream that look productive. Then , before the season, I would bring my climber in and chain to a nearby tree across the stream and adjacent to several different spots so that I didnt have to lug it across the water each and every time. My thoughts are it would provide a faster and more stealthy approach to my spots while scounting AND hunting--until I fall on my ass and get soaking wet that is!! lol

Yeah, I havent gotten a chance to watch the whole thing yet , but will try to do so today. I have a feeling that ultimately, nothing will come of all this anyway because the democrats are way too powerful and now control governement , media and academia--the pillars of power requisite to establish and maintain a coverup. They can and will do this because , simply put, they can shape, control and regulate information--that which is perceived as "the truth"-- disseminated to, and received by , the populace. Thus, they "make " reality so to speak. Very Orwellian and very scary whats happening currently...

Maybe, but justice was done yeaterday as this impeachment was unconstituional from the outset.

Many times during this past season, I sat in my stand wondering if the stream that I regulary crossed to get to one of my "spots" could potentially be an excellent entry and exit route to explore some other nearby areas. A few times, I actually did wade into the stream to follow some tracks along a fairly well-traveled route used by a family group of does, but I never actually tried to walk directly up or downstream in the water for an extended period of time. I did mention my thoughts to a few of the "Elders" in my club but they advised against pursuing that course or strategy, saying that I would likely fall and either get hurt and/or damage my gun and thta it wouldnt be worth it. Based on their advice, I shelved the idea but am thinking maybe they're being overly cautious and it might be productive, afterall. The stream itself is no more than like 10-15 ft wide and is approximately 2 feet deep, maximum--in most places, less. It is a little rocky here-and-there but I've negotiated far more precarious waterways when fishing. My idea is to slip in and walk upstream using a walking stick -- gun carried slung over shoulder , backpack and all--to stalk stealthily, and efficiently , thereby covering more territory in the process. what do you think?

Glad it helped !! I did it usually a couple times a day for a good five minutes . Also , another thing you can do is put your hand on top of the fingers of your afflicted arm and apply a gentle force downward. Then, push against this force back and upward to, once again, “ undo” the repetitive motion that caused the pain in the first place .

Yeah , I noticed !! Lol

Sorry , I meant Squirrels !! Lol

Really , so you think it’ll make a significant difference if I go early am Then instead ?I never had to before , but you may have a point . Also , Sit and watch for awhile ? Why , cuz of the snow? Note : I have hunted deer my whole life but NEVER tried for them in the winter , always In early fall in full foliage !!

Itchin to get outside after bein holed up in the house since Christmas , so I decided to go out for a walk w/ my .22 and see if I could bag me a few squirrels. Walked around for about an hour and a half and saw ABOLUTELY NOTHING (well, except for 2 in-flight birds lol)!! It was wierd because the woods were eerily quiet and notwithstanding a few coyote and rabbit tracks, no signs of life whatsoever. I went to a trail where I had marked several nests back in the fall and noted mutltiple still intact, but again, nothing!! What gives? Guess I May have to go up to Sullivan next week to bag a few...
