Cost of 2 rounds $22 . Cost of gas to get to and from hunting spot for the day $12 . Cost of turkey calls and gear is who knows . Time used to hike in , hopefully shoot one , then time to clean it even at slave labor of $1 an hour we will call it worth $10. Total cost of turkey if you do shoot one the 1st time out approximately $52 with no cost of gear included
Cost of turkey going to the supermarket . 99c a lb for fresh cleaned 15 lb bird $15 . 5 lb bag of potatoes $2.50 3 lbs of fresh peeled butternut squash $ 6. Bag of fresh trimmed and washed green beans $2.50 . Bag of corn $2 . Can of cranberry sauce $2 . Can of gravy $1 . Apple pie from the bakery $ 6 . Pack of 12 IPA $15 Cost of supermarket turkey dinner , dessert and beer $ 52
So can someone remind me why its such a great idea to get up at 4am and fight ticks all day to hopefully shoot a turkey ? LOL
I love when non-hunters think about how much $ we save by hunting. Hunting makes no economic sense as a means toward reducing your food costs. The same is true for fishing, especially if you own a boat.

About 15 years ago, I bought a brick (325) of .22 long for about $14.00...about .04 cents per round. Looks like prices have doubled...at least.
I have some 20 round boxes of Remington 30-06 Core Loct with price stickers of $9.99 from a no longer existing big box store. I'm guessing same time frame.

I found this tidbit amusing. He states in the article " Despite a level of condemnation by the media that dwarfs anything to which Nixon, Clinton, Hoover or Grant were subjected,..." The author is Dick Morris. Dick Morris is a former adviser to President Bill Clinton [states this at bottom of page].
I don't recall condemnation of Clinton in the media, except on FOX News. He should have left Clinton off the list.

I hope this works out for you. These aftermarket stocks are not always drop-in and may need some fitting.

Not for nothing but I do believe only congress has the power to regulate interstate trade
#ThankYouForLessOverzealousModding #WeDemandUnlimitedLikes

You may be right, but regulate and states banning are two different things. There are already vendors that will not sell/ship to NY. Our government, Federal, State, and local pass many laws beyond their authority and unconstitutional which stand until they're challenged and overturned in a court verdict. For arguments sake here, let's say NYS passes a law banning online ammos sales, do you think Congress is going to step in to stop it?

You’re being willfully blind if you don’t see a difference in the moral fabric of Biden vs Trump. Biden isn’t perfect, far from it. But there’s a reason both parties breathed a sigh of relief today. The nation and the world are markedly better off today than they were yesterday. Rejoice.
Not blind at all, and you are reading too much into this. I never once compared the two or mentioned moral fabric. I don't defend or compare DJT or Biden. None of these politicians are saints! I am pragmatic. I care about policies and how they affect me, I compare that. Nation and world markedly better off? I make no prediction and time will be the judge of that. The MSM has made disaster and apocalyptic predictions about every POTUS. After 2024, the historians can compare 2016-2020 DJT to 2021-2024 Biden, that's what will matter.

The thing is none of us have a magic ball to tell us the future. If I knew I had enough I wouldn’t be buying, until I know what the future will hold I’ll keep buying. If that makes me a hoarder than I guess I’ll take it.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkFolks are buying for many reasons and no one can say what reason is acceptable or not. Even the person profiteering may be trying to financially survive having lost their income with COVID shutdown. Can anyone with 100% certainty say Cuomo (or Biden/Beto) won't ban out-of-state online ammo sales? I'm confident this law could be passed in this state and enforced by the AG. How about a tax on ammo equal to the selling cost? Think it's not possible? Until shooters believe things will not change for the worse I do not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I agree. Politicians are a different breed and one would be naïve to expect them to not sway with the trappings of the job. There's nonstop posturing and procedural gestures aimed at little more than vying for next election's vote. The problem arises when the private ambitions of the individual overrides the public obligations of the position. We clearly saw that happen with Trump. That's behind us now.
I've clearly seen it with all POTUS (Dem & Rep) alike. No exceptions.
Rules of politicians (All parties)
1) Get elected or Re-elected
2) Make as much money as possible when in office
3) Say and do anything to achieve Rule #1
4) Tell populace what they want to hear but in a manner that doesn't say anything or commit to a position
5) Your position is with party unless it conflicts with Rule #1 or 2
6) Your position is with country unless it conflicts with Rule #1 or 2
7) When in doubt see Rule #1 or 2

I clarified your point. This wasn't merely partisan bickering... it was a president who would pretend to solve issues that he himself initiated. One side clobbered him for it while the other, ever shrinking, side illustrated spineless sycophancy. But don't despair, today is a beautiful day, for America once more has a president worthy of her.
That's politics and corporate America! Folks get rewarded for being the hero and putting out the fire while ignoring how & who is responsible for starting the fire in the first place; when it's one in the same.

Leupold advertises a muzzleloader scope. What are the spec differences between a muzzleloader scope versus a regular riflescope?
They used to be advertised as ML/Shotgun scopes. I believe the primary difference (s) are parallax at 75 yds versus 100 (rifle) and adjustment clicks may be 1/2" @ 100 yrds versus 1/4".

Not quite. For your analogy to hold, Trump first lights the building on fire...
The analogy was intended to be solely a demonstration of how the various news has become editorials and op-ed pieces with political motivation. I would expect your more extreme comment (implying arson/arsonist) to come from someone like Don Lemon, which again isn't news. Can you appreciate that these opinion attacks is the exact vitriol dividing the country?

They are NOT private companies . They are public companies as they are listed and traded on the stock market as such . You have to admit that it was total bias to the left at all media companies. Things need to change. We CANNOT have our country run by Google, Twitter, Facebook , Apple , and Amazon. This monopoly needs to be blown up .
Even the national news stations , ABC , CBS , and NBC were totally off their rocker when reporting the news. I would actually watch an event live , and then when it was reported by the big news anchors , Stephanopoulos , Muir , etc , I would sit back and scratch my head wondering what they were talking about . What they were reporting didn't even resemble what actually happened . I guess honest reporting of the actual news like Walter Cronkite is long gone.
I agree. I meant to say that they were non-government and not news organizations, so they are being allowed to censor. The various news agencies clearly censor via their spin. Most are actually op-ed at this point.
I use this as an example of media bias reporting. An orphanage is on fire with 12 children trapped. DJT enters and rescues 6 children to safety. Before he can get in for the remaining 6 the building collapses before his eyes.
FOX News: DJT bravely and without concern for his own lif enters a burning building to rescue 6 orphans. Unfortunately, another 6 perished before he could rescue them.
CNN: DJT cowardly watches as six orphans die in a fire, when 6 others were rescued only moments before.

According to Wiki, Here's a list of speech categories not protected by the 1st Amendment:
Categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment (and therefore may be restricted) include obscenity, fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites imminent lawless action, speech that violates intellectual property law, true threats, and commercial ...
I would imagine that, according to this list , those on the left - who , by far constitute the majority in media (this also includes social big media tech giants such as Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.)- would say that Trumps Tweets and subsequently, his speech prior to the riots, should not be protected speech because they fall under the speech category of "speech that incites imminnent lawless actions". But , according to the Supreme court decision (see Brandenburg vs. Ohio, 1969), it doesnt meet the standard.
Here's a brief summary of their decision:
To be considered incitement and thus not protected by the First Amendment, incendiary speech must:
- Be intended to provoke imminent lawless action; and
- Be likely to cause such action.
As Brandenburg’s speech was not made in the presence of potential targets of his advocated violence, it was not likely to cause imminent lawless action. As such, reprehensible though his speech may have been, Brandenburg’s speech was protected by the First Amendment.
Since Trump CLEARLY said in his speech that the crowd should "peacefully" march and have your voices heard , it , thus, CANNOT be considered an incendiary speech intended to promote violence and imminent lawless action. The conclusion reached otherwise by the majority on the left is arbitrary and coming from a biased and subjective perspective and therefore, is erroneous. If this speech, and various other Trump tweets hereafter, are considered to be UNPROTECTED speech , then why is Twitter NOT banning other tweets coming from ANTIFA/BLM thugs back in the spring/summer advocating rioting and violence? In numerous cases, they were using Twitter as a means of organizing the riots and inflaming tensions in order to promote them . Why, then, were they not banned ?? CLEAR DOUBLE STANDARD, THATS WHY
Heres one example of their clear bias because this was NOT removed by Twitter (Kathy Gifford tweet):
And what about the Madonna tweet about blowing up the White house? No such ban on her Tweets resulted as a result of this hugely offensive post.
Why is this?? BECAUSE THEIR'S A DOUBLE STANDARD!!
Twitter is CLEARLY left leaning and liberal-biased and they agree with the content posted by the aforementioned users; consequently, they do not apply the same standard for removal of "content which may incite or promote violence" that thay do with Conservative/right-leaning content, whom they diagree with. AGAIN, CLEAR BIAS
And This is why those of us on the right are often frustrated...
Further legal conundrum of this bias is that Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc are private (not public) companies, thus not 1st amendment protected, that can censor YET courts have ruled that politicians (particularly POTUS) as public figures cannot block viewers in this same media/ platform because that is a violation of 1st amendment protection of the persons blocked. Hard to comprehend that 1st amendment protection does and does not apply within the same media/platform.

Perhaps he has discovered the joys of whitetail deer hunting. This strategy gives him multiple states and seasons, where he will be able to hunt all year round, and with nuisance permits, no bag limits. Plus the bonus of managing for world class trophy antlers.

ok i know this is more on a president level but king andy now says open after saying we must close everything but after trump is gone, trump has said this for months, and he does it when covid is in a upswing someone explain this, i do agree to open up but this obvioulsly political move on king andy... also the left saying LEO did not do enough during capitol riots but did to much during other riots for the past year wtf the cops cant win ,,,,,
Yes, Govs actions and timing are suspect. I think he has come to realize that NYS has been closed for so long that it is destroying the state finances beyond return. When his actions were destroying individual NYers finances beyond return that was okay, but the State not okay. Perhaps he knows or been made aware that the BIden administration is not going to sufficiently bail him out.

Nice reaction! All I did was make an observation regarding the times we are in. One side would add DJT and the other extreme would equally take the whole thing down and I gave their rationale. I never took a position for either side, yet you were able to put me on one side over the other. I believe that fits the definition of prejudice, preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

The reality is the powers that be never seem to want folks to be able to defend themselves. Just about every device that can be used for personal defense has some sort of law prohibiting possession. Knives, pepper spray, brass knuckles, a sap or Billy clubs are some examples. Like firearms the criminal elements to not pay much attention to laws having such things that they would gladly use against their victims to carry out their crimes. So unless you are a black belt like our friend Bill or someone like Shaquille O Neal you are to take your mugging, robbery or home invasion like a man or rape in a woman's case and like it.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProA ton of doctors, wait many doctors, wait 2 doctors one breastfeeding and one trying to get pregnant. Although this is not consistent with the CDC guidance, I can understand an individual woman's concern and choice regarding potential effect on lactation and fertility. Their refusal is based on that, and they happen to be doctors by profession (which is irrelevant). This is not doctors against the vaccine or vaccination.

He sure funded them thru the govt which in glad for. Trying to get a vaccine out. But they hate him right. Lol. He has fast tracked everything and pushed the FDA to get it out. Man I bet those pharma guys can't wait to get him out . Lol https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/explaining-operation-warp-speed/index.html
DJT/Fed funded some/most of the companies. Credit due DJT. Pfizer/BioNTech did not take 1 cent of Fed money and did it 100% on their own; and were the first to get authorization. No credit due DJT. Technically, he did not fast track anything. Emergency use authorization, which is not FDA approval, already existed (for just such a crisis) with no change in requirements/regulations. No credit due DJT. The vaccines are not FDA approved. FDA approval requires 2 years of safety data, no change in requirement/regulation. Pharma has no friend in DJT or Biden as they are both for price controls of medications. Pharma may have a preference for DJT based on corporate taxes.

I think things are purposely being stalled by drug companies and shipping concerns to make Trump look bad and Biden look like the hero.
1 hour ago, Robhuntandfish said:That def isn't the case. These drug companies love Trump for dropping regs and FDA hoops. And actually they couldn't care less either way who is in for the most part they cash in. But the left actually could hurt them with regs on how much they can sell drugs for and socialized medicine hurts their profits.
Remember these drug companies are also selling and supplying overseas. And they approved and ordered far ahead of us.
No conspiracy of "them" works on this one. Lol. Plus let's face it. If the govt had to get everyone one apple it would still be a mess. No matter who is the president.
Drug companies make their money by selling the vaccine. They are not going to "stall" anything as that hurts sales. It has nothing to do with Trump or Biden.
Recall Trump was going after the drug companies regarding prescription drug pricing and controls. In this regard the drug companies do not like Trump or Biden. Trump also did not drop any regulations or hoops with respect to the FDA!

Yes, you’ll find that in the healthcare setting, those with advanced degrees and with training in physiology etc. will have no reluctance whatsoever to get vaccinated. All the cases you hear about healthcare workers not wanting the vaccine come from lower end support staff that’s more susceptible to disinformation campaigns and conspiracy theories.
All the cases I hear about healthcare workers not wanting the vaccine come from here!

Ammo prices WOW !!! Why so much for .22 lr
in General Chit Chat

Thank you for the bingo.
That's a good example of excessive taxation for things the government deems not good for us, just like guns and ammo.
Ammo bans, restrictions, taxes are all on the horizon. Just further gun control through any and all means.
Cuomo could care less how expensive ammo gets, the more unaffordable the better; and if you can still afford it that's good too because of the taxes. Excessive taxes on ammo to him is a win-win situation.
Post WWII, you used to be able to buy firearms through the mail, no FFL, USPS right to your door, and military surplus rifles were dirt cheap. After Kennedy assassination this was ended. Consider too, WWII veterans were considered heroes, Vietnam veterans vilified, and now veterans are considered potential domestic terrorists. This shows just how far America has fallen.
