The Ridgeline is AWD, the Maverick has AWD available... so the same as any other 4wd truck, provided we're talking about the typical bass/ski boat and not some cabin cruiser monstrosity.

95% of truck owners would be perfectly happy with a Ridgeline, it'll do everything they need quite easily, but their ego won't let them. Same with minivans for that matter. They're exquisitely functional for hauling kids around. 4runners border on awful in comparison, but guess what the parking lot at the soccer field is full of?

I don't mean to sound flippant. You're in a crappy situation. I think state or federal level help will be required, the locals are far too entrenched. Even TWRA can be ... difficult. I used to work with a guy who's son was a game warden. If half the stories he told were accurate, it'll be an uphill battle. The problem I see is racoon hunting without permission may not be thought of as a big deal at the higher level. Racoons aren't exactly endangered. I think you'll need to find something more to get their attention.

Exactly. I used to live near there and rode my motorcycle all over the place around there. This area is as country as it gets. Everyone knows everyone else and has for generations. The OP is the outsider and will always be viewed as such. There's a good reason why they always leave just in time. Theres also a good reason why rural appalachia has the reputation that it does. If they've been doing it for 30 years, their family has been doing it for 130 years.

Merry Christmas folks!

That looks like a really light strike to me. I'm surprised it fired at all.

11 pages and we finally got Rick rolled.

What do the casings look like after firing?

The playoff committee nailed it! I'm bummed that Clemson lost, but Texas is clearly a better team. My guess is Texas and ND roll easily in the next round. Hope the Vols put on a good show.
