    Cheater, Cheater - WILDCAT NATION

    While I agree 100 percent that to call it slavery is a huge stretch and I am in no way saying it is even close to slavery. What I am saying is that the ncaa created this mess by not allowing these athletes to make money while in school. But the ncaa wants to make the money off of them instead. That's the problem. Not just a huge stretch, not even in the same zip code. Scholarships are OFFERED and then accepted. Not one person in the history of athletics has been forced into a scholarship. EVER. Tens of thousands of student athletes every year compete without a scholarship and would GLADLY subject themselves to The "slavery" of a FREE EDUCATION. When they agreed to the scholarship, they agreed to the rules. What the school makes off of them is IRRELEVANT. The money DOES cause corruption. That is indisputable.

    CLEARLY YOU did not go to college and rely on opinion pieces from ESPN for your education. Stop embarrassing yourself and please READ ANYTHING about slavery from an actual reliable source. Your statement is an INSULT. Next thing people like you will be comparing college athletics to the genocide of the Jews in WW2. BUT....since you offered, I will be more than happy to take your bet. What amount would you like to wager?

    Ya know....as I have thought about this I am leaning towards agreeing with ThomC. It IS slavery! As an ex-slave I DEMAND reparations! Pay up people! ThomC, let me know how much you would like to contribute to my entitlement.

    Opinions/help with my stepson

    As parents, and step parents it is very difficult for us to not project our interests onto our children. I am guilty of this very thing(as I think many parents are). Love him, support him, and continue to OFFER but not push. If he is going for the wrong reasons eventually he may grow to be bitter about it. HOWEVER, if he is going, let him go for HIS reasons and not yours. Maybe just being there will change his mind. I have to share custody with one of my children. She LOVES to hunt and be outdoors, but she HATES to go hunting. What I mean to say is that she very easily forgets how much she enjoys it until she is out doing it. When she balks at an opportunity to go, I remind her of this, but I never push her. If she says no it is a "no".

    Cell phone signal boosters

    Weboost/Wilson. Pretty much the only way to go. EASY to install in a vehicle. I keep mine in a Tupperware box and plug it in when I travel. Outside antenna magnets to your roof. Line runs through the door jam seal to the booster(which I put under my seat). Booster has power to a 12v outlet. From booster, inside antenna line runs to antenna which I put on my console. Takes two minutes to set up. Or can be installed permanently. I transfer it between vehicles and trailer so no permanent installation. Is NOT carrier specific. Can boost signal for up to 4 or 5 phones at a time. The closer your phone is to the inside antenna the stronger the boost. They DO have cradles, but I have never tried one. No monthly fee. Happy to let anyone see it/try it if they want. Not that exciting but may give you the extra confidence to get one if you are on the fence.

    Drones for locating downed/lost game

    might be useful if it has a FLIR, but other than that I don't think it would help at all. That and it getting shot down.......

    My Mother

    I have never shared this kind of thing on the interweb. This morning my wife went to take my mother to her chemo appt but received no answer at the door or phone. I rushed over and called 911. The ambulance met us there and found my Mother breathing but unresponsive. They took her to the emergency room for observation and treatment. She is currently in the icu being treated for sepsis and who knows what else. She is old and has cancer, but it is not her time. At least we don't think it is. If any of you are prone to pray, please keep her in your heart.

    My Mother

    Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Last night she slipped her earthly bonds peacefully with all of us by her side. Her fight is over and she won, to return to her Father with honor and glory. We love you Mom.

    Cell phone signal boosters

    Good point Shed. In my own little myopic viewpoint I didn't think he could be asking about home install. Us down here in civilization don;t think about those things....lol I also use my 4gm for our cabin and also my trailer. Works anywhere. If I were at either regularly I would get a permanent solution like the kind Shed installs.

    Cell phone signal boosters

    Yes, they absolutely work. To a degree. The caveat is you have to have at least a little signal in order for the booster to work. I have the weboost drive 4g-m. I use it all over and RARELY lose signal. I have also tried the 4g-x which is supposed to be twice as powerful but did not notice a significant increase. I was not in a hugely remote area though. The 4g-m has been awesome. As an example, at our elk camp with Verizon I get 1bar of 3g. With the booster I get full bars of 4g. I do think the bigger outside antennas are worth the upgrade. The closers your phone is to the inside antenna the better your signal. Bottom line....WELL worth the money. Wish I had done it years ago.

    Tag Donation

    Probably a stupid question, but is it too late to donate my wife's early archery cow tag now that the hunt is half over? Because of the situation with my Mother we will not be going out.

    Polaris Ranger Questions, aftermarket seats

    The negative camber CAN be indicative of worn bearings or joints, but can also be due to suspension, tires , etc... Hard to know without looking at it directly. The suspension can be adjusted to compensate. I have never worked on a ranger, but the rods/joints are usually very easy to replace and not expensive. I you are getting a good deal I wouldn't worry about it,. The "issue" is very common. Rossi- That rumor has been around a LOONG time. THey lallygagged banned it in Cali( but heck, they have banned everything but kale salad) nad people have been worried it will eventually carry over to here. May still happen, but nothing hard on it YET. That I know of.

    National Forest travel maps-what am I missing?

    Sucks when you play by the rules only to get screwed. Sounds like there are two camps here.. One that gets mad that they try to close a road, disregard the rules and drive down any road they find and the other that gets mad at camp 1 for doing it while following the rules. Sad but seems pretty clear that if they want to actually close roads, cables and chains are the only solution.. At least the people driving around a chain can't play stupid. And no doubt, some will do it anyway. They are not only going around chains they are driving OVER the barricades in their jacked up machnes. It is disgusting. and don't get em started about camping near water holes....

    Costco stretch pants

    Just bought some a couple weeks ago. They're nice. A little loud but similar to most weatherproof pants. One complaint is the belt loops are insufficient.
