^^^Exactly, and what percentage of people out there with masks on are actually N95? Basically none.
-
My sister-in-law is an emergency room nurse in the valley. #1, she's been furloughed for a month now because the hospitals are empty. #2 she says these masks people are wearing are total bullsh!t. The virus is, in technical terms, "very very small". The holes in cotton masks made out of socks, bandannas, underwear, etc are, well, not so small. Sorry for all the high-tech jargon.

Figured that wouldn't last long - ha ha.

I think the murder hornets ate all the worms.

Gut him? Naw, gets blood all over me, just toss him over my shoulder. It’s only a few miles.

Buy lowers. They're still cheap. XM 855 will come down too, but there's nothing wrong with $.22 tula if you want a big stockpile.

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-during-coronavirus-pandemic-totalitarianism-doesnt-shock-us-anymore You absolutely have to follow the link above. It's exactly what I started this thread about - and I found it *after* posting this. It takes a couple minutes to get into the meat, but, trust me. Watch it and you'll see, I'm not alone in feeling this way.

If I were doing a custom job right now, 6.5 WSM would be it. Heck, I already have every other 6.5, and I do love the WSM. I've had great results from .270 WSM, .300 WSM, and pretty much everything 6.5 is golden, so there's nothing but good breeding in that mix.

I thank you all for the replies here, and Dustin, I agree with you on a lot of your points - something needed to be done, and in most cases it's been more about erring on the side of caution, which is a perfectly logical thing to do. My point is, if something like this happens, exactly how much power does the government have to create laws off the cuff without due process. I mean think about it - we've already seen huge overreach. What if it was bigger, even than this? How far can they go? I can see everything from martial law, to disarming law abiding people if the situation was deemed appropriate by the ones in charge. What we are seeing is totalitarian rule, with no input from us - we the people. A handful of state governors with free range to make up whatever laws they want. A state of emergency should not be allowed to create a dictatorship, no matter how well-intentioned it might seem.

My sister-in-law is an ER nurse in the valley. She's been on furlough for a month because they shut down all non c-19 activity - nothing to do. Let that sink in. And she confirmed, these cotton masks people are wearing - useless. Just sheep doing as told.

Great job! From what I heard from other parents of youth hunters it was a pretty tough hunt this year. Congrats!
-
Looking for some good results too - kinda hard being out of state but I know I'll be hunting turkey in NM this weekend. Maybe deer in the fall if luck prevails.

I think the OP has a really good point. While I like to be optimistic and all, I'm in my late 40's. My wife and I have been planning for this a long time. We're in good shape, at least for the short-mid term. What I find a little scary is we keep talking about how we're going to be even more prepared the next time this happens. As if somehow things get back to normal, and can have the luxury of wiping our brow, and saying - now we get to really understand exactly what happens when a major catastrophe hits and how government and normal people react. I hope, truly hope, that this thing becomes one of those "If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger" moments in our history. But I fear that it might be one of those things that won't offer a second chance.

Exactly - I was thinking the same thing. In Oklahoma our response to a nuclear war was identical to a tornado. Crawl under your desk, put your head between your knees (and kiss you a$$ goodbye).

Anyone remember this? "Repeat, this is a test. This is only a test of the emergency broadcast system. In the event of a real emergency....."

I know campgrounds are shut down - does this include the boat ramps? How about Indian Point? Thanks

Thanks for the info.

Not to mention, the whole intent of the OP is to illustrate the general hypocrisy of the members here for having what he perceives to be inconsistent reactions toward poachers. Meanwhile he's talking about his dislike of poachers and how they should all be punished equally out of one side his mouth, while bragging about how he's going to pay off a $20K fine for a convicted serial poacher. You seriously can't make this stuff up.

Dang ^^^ That's a stellar buck - congrats yotebuster!

Last I checked, Anderson lowers are still around $50 or less on gunbroker.

And, for what it's worth, most of the folks here really do care what Lance has to say because he's been extremely helpful to a lot of people here on this forum, sharing his knowledge and insight and making this place better because of his contributions. Can you say the same? Well except for providing comic relief. BTW, we're laughing at you, not with you.
-
That's twice now. Next time you get a ruler across the knuckles. You ridiculed another poster about spelling and grammar, and yet you still can't figure out to, two and too. But don't stop posting, please. It gives us all a little levity in hard times.

Just bagged this sucker. So, here's the question, I don't know how to skin/gut this thing. I'm thinking gutless but I can't find the backstraps. Second question, is there a category in Boone and Crockett? I'm trying to score the points - looks like a typical to me, pretty symmetrical. What if it's a hybrid? Man this is confusing. Gotta get to the power lines for a better picture. And no, i didn't shoot it with a rifle and stick an arrow in it - too cli·ché.
