    That is a big wow.  I wonder how the populations rose to such a level?  Were some predators removed from the area that would ordinarily keep the jack rabbit population in check?

    I'm sure people shot the Coyotes, cats, etc... plus Big farms popped up.. so more food... less predator's.. = Rabbit Boom!  lol

    I am one to go by personal experience, it has always been well known that shiny surfaces on firearms can reflect sunlight and a hunter has to be aware of that fact and there are ways to mitigate that problem. I am not going to sit in a sunny area fidgeting moving my firearm around making it look like a signal mirror. When I set up I will make sure that the least of my worries is my firearm shining a warning of my position.

    Been hunting Deer and Varmints with walnut and steel firearms mounted with gloss finished scopes for over 60yrs, not to brag but I think I have done OK. 

    If someone wants to use muted finished firearms I am totally OK with that, but you can't tell me one can not be a successful hunter using fine walnut and steel firearms.

    If the DEC put it to a vote, would you vote to allow off-season or out of season mineral supplements? Not legalizing feeders, but things like salt/mineral licks to encourage antler growth. They would still be illegal during the season (for those of us who follow the law of course)

    Sure...

    Even if we believe all of the COVID deaths are correctly coded (I don't believe the numbers are this high), the chart below shows exactly what we/conspiracy theorists said all along. Covid will have its ebbs and flows regardless of vaccines, masks, lockdowns, etc.

    Bingo!  Cases went up and down no matter what we did...  Hopefully the Scientists and politicians will learn from this?  Doubt it... too useful to control people...

    Good luck, it's amazing to me the amount of people that have gotten Covid the last month or two. Way more than i have heard about the last two years...

    That's because it's the Omicron variant... WAY more contagious... but luckily way milder...

    Tested positive today after two days of sore throat and congestion. I have two shots and the booster. Feeling a bit tired hope it's mild. I did work out this morning but I knew something was up. I'll be watching deer hunting videos for a while! Just have to be careful of my brother who lives with me. He is unvaccinated. 

    If your brother is unvaccinated... he'll probably fair better than you!  Unless he has underlying conditions...

    The cheapest utility bill I have (HAD) was my gas bill.    $75 a month year round for furnace, dryer and hot water tank.    This is some major suckage……

    And All because the Biden Admin shuns Fracking and energy independence 

  9. I worked down town.... luckily I took the earlier train that day... got to the office... logged on and a co worker was like.... Look at all this paper floating around outside the window!  It was like a tickertape parade.... then I noticed most of the paper was burnt around the edges... like you'd see in a movie.  Crazy...

    After that we went outside to see the tower when the second plane hit.... THAT was when we knew it was terrorism. Never thought the towers would collapse.... so we stayed in our building... then the First one fell... and we were enshrouded with that black cloud of dust. After the second fell... after the air cleared up a bit we got out of there... ran over to South Street seaport... got a ride on a police boat over to NJ.

     

    I'll tell you one thing.... I'll never forget that smell.... like burnt metal. It smelt like that for a week or two afterward.

    Chickenpox is a great example ,how many of us went to chickenpox parties as kids ,not any more, theres a vaccine for that .

    Exactly... but there is obviously a risk associated with these Covid vaccines for teenagers and kids... that and the fact it seems like you can Still spread the virus even when vaxxed...

    The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study that some scientists wish came with a “Don’t try this at home” label. The newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than never-infected, vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms from it, or become hospitalized with serious COVID-19.

    https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/having-sars-cov-2-once-confers-much-greater-immunity-vaccine-vaccination-remains-vital?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email

    The study, led by Tal Patalon and Sivan Gazit at KSM, the system’s research and innovation arm, found in two analyses that never-infected people who were vaccinated in January and February were, in June, July, and the first half of August, six to 13 times more likely to get infected than unvaccinated people who were previously infected with the coronavirus. In one analysis, comparing more than 32,000 people in the health system, the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 was 27 times higher among the vaccinated, and the risk of hospitalization eight times higher.

    If this is the case.... then shouldn't it be a Good thing that many kids are getting the virus now?  And why should they EVER get the vaccine?  Except to make Pharma richer... along with some Doctors and politicians
