It made it to 12 pages. Looks like I'm heading to Walmart and/or Gander a little later this morning. Glad in a way, I have a lot of wool socks and can actually use the new coat more. Thanks for the boost on posts folks, we should do it again sometime.

It's good to see you happy for a change.

Holy crap, this is one hot topic!!

I did some looking at illegal immigration numbers yesterday - the actual numbers, not what's being touted in the media. As it turns out, there have been over a million illegals crossing the border this year alone. Which seems like a crazy high number, right? However, most of them were turned back (and multiple attempts to cross are not unusual). In fact, the numbers are not really that much more that what was seen pre-COVID. In fact the idea that this is a surge given the "meh" increase seems a bit silly, now that I've actually read the facts. And they are all (supposedly) tested for COVID, though as usual getting any real numbers on infection rates and such is impossible, at least for me. Whether they actually contribute appreciably to our COVID rates is beyond my ability to ken, but with Florida going off the deep end, I'm going to stick with drop in a bucket.

What has changed so far as I can see is the number of minors entering by themselves. And they do not appear to be getting deported at the same rate as the older folks. So maybe the surge is kids? Anyway, the numbers aren't what I expected to see given the furor. But don't believe me, look for yourself!

Where did you get your information ? Where did you “check” and how .

74% of them in that out break were vaccinated.

AND that's why they were not very sick and didn't die. They were vaxed!

 

[nybuckboy]

The states with the most outbreaks are the Retrumplican states. FL, LA, MS, GA, AR and TX. The least vaxed states in the US. Get ready for another shutdown in some places.

Did the ones who got turned back get to keep their Biden/harris T shirt?

If the Live From The Woods thread stays on topic this year I'll treat myself to a new bow for next year, does that count? LOL.

With black powder if switch from a 300 grain sabot to 250 grain sabot,  50 caliber,  should I increase or decrease powder charge?

Keep the powder charge the same, see how it shoots! It may be a touch high going to a lighter projectile, but may group just fine?

I am gonna try. A buddy of mine, while we were talking asked. Lighter bullet =less pressure so means more powder was his thinking. He reloads, that is why he asked, which got me over thinking

Can you site a source for this info or did you get it from CNN?

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html

BTW vaccination has nothing to do with people having the virus or being able to spread it.  Vaxxed people still get it and spread, they just have less chance of dying from it, if you believe the virus makers.

They do have some of the highest "numbers" currently. Order and other states that are in the high numbers vary depending on whether you look at total cases, per capita of 14 day change.

Top 10 for 14 day % change are 

Wisconsin ›
	Rhode Island ›
South Carolina ›
	New Hampshire ›
Oregon ›
	Tennessee ›
Puerto Rico ›
	Louisiana ›

You just dont like me cause I make fun of the people you vote for.

[Grouse]

So they're not all Republican states, and the vax rate has nothing to do with new cases.

[The_Real_TCIII]

If the vaxxed transmit the virus then what are we even arguing about?! Ill say it again, mind your damned business and get the shot if you want it. Same applies to a muzzleloader
