There you go, trying to bring logic into government funding....

  Sales Tax, I assume. 5733 - 485 = 5248 before tax. 485 is 8.8% of 5248. I don't know CA sales tax, but that seems like a reasonable guess. Either way, it was money well spent. I got up early this morning to do a little pre-breakfast snipping. I love my new riffle!

Sorry Dustbuster, you missed out. Thanks glowdotGlock. It was great meeting you. That snipper rifle is going to be awesome when I'm in my Gilly suit.

Holy crap. This better be one tasty deer if I ever get one. I think I could have had a live Kobe cow shipped in from Japan and custom butchered for what it's costing me to get in to deer hunting. So far I have to say that I'm not enjoying it enough to keep dropping so much coin on it every year. I know a lot is sunk costs in equipment, but taking the rates up will only make me less likely to get a license each year.

That would make it a 54!!!!!!!   That's bigger than a Desert Eagle! Are you mad? Only Chuck Norris and Darryl Dixon can handle firepower like that!

I watched Titans on 2 tonight (was cooking dinner and couldn't find the remote...) and heard Whisenhunt say that they're on their 8th tackle. Holy crap! Usually you have 2 with a 3rd that might play a little.   Clipboard Jesus had better not get hurt out there. This is our new backup QB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Palmer   Yep, you saw that right. Our backup has 0 TDs, 2 INTs, a whopping 59 yards passing and a Fantasy Football worthy 34.4 passer rating.

I know they clarified it in 2011 at 250 yards (at least that's the date of the news reports covering it), but I couldn't find it in writting from the TWRA anywhere on their site. Either way, it looks like that's the magic number. I'm definitely not going back out there until I hear from my cousin and know what the resolution is + 10 days.   She did confirm what I had read in the 2011 news stories and what Hozzie stated earlier: 250 yard radius is a fully protected zone. Can't shoot in or into that area.

  I called the Region 2 office. She said 250 yards is not in the regulations, but it's what the field officers use as their guideline. I suppose depending on the circumstances they could choose to shorten or lengthen that radius.

  Don't forget your scarf.

Nate probably has at least 2 - 3 years in him if he wants them. Maybe more. WRs can have a 15+ year career. He's wrapping up year 10. The receiving corps is not too bad with Washington & Wright plus Walker at TE. To get a good QB, they need to fix the O-line to give the passer some protection. Picking up a 1,000 yard RB (or at least >750) to take some pressure off the pass rush would be great too, but you don't have to have that (look at New England). Sankey and Greene aren't it. Maybe Sankey could be with a better O-line to make some holes, but we'll never know...

From the article:     It should read:   The Titans have been searching for answers to engage a fan base which has dulled following multiple changes since Bud Adams pissed away the franchise on Vince "I sprained my vagina" Young.

  Because deer fed a steady diet of real Wisconsin aged cheddar taste better than deer raised on government cheese.

  You're not a real lumbersexual. You self-confessed to having (oh, the horror!) dirty work boots! If you had a spotless pair of these, you'd be a real lumbersexual.   http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Red-Wing-for-Brooks-Brothers-4556-Iron-Ranger-Boots/MH00388_____BRWN_13___D___,default,pd.html?cmp=ppc_us_google_pla_P_P_M_PLA_Mens&gclid=CNz4-9GxyMICFQIQ7AodwFgAlw&gclsrc=aw.ds         I'm still in shock knowing that Red Wings sold their soul to sell through Brooks Brothers. What's next, J.Crew selling Carhartt? "I'll  have the Carhartt-brown overalls with pink/white-checkered lining with the cuffs rolled up. No socks please."

    The only thing more dangerous than being around that guy, would be eating something from Olive Garden.  :)

  No way to stay anonymous. When I found the bait piles, I was standing right in front of one of his trail cams. If the warden showed up, only a total moron wouldn't put those 2 things together.   Anyhow, I spoke with my cousin who immediately said "Whoa! That's illegal!" which is a good sign. He said he'd talk with Master Baiter and let me know what's what. Cuz' was appreciative. He needs to know what's going on in his woods. I'd rather lose a place to hunt than try to keep a hunting spot only to have that come back later to bite me. Family is worth far more to me than some backstraps and jerky.   I'm done there until at least Christmas at this point which sucks big donkey balls because I have several days of vacation planned between now and then.   Anyone want to Apopt-A-n00b for a couple of weeks?   :D

Thanks guys. Stuff like this puts everyone in a bad spot. The guy is my cousin's coworker, so that can be awkward for him to have to address, but master baiter has made his choice to hunt over bait, so I'll be letting my cousin know and he can handle it as he sees fit. Although he has ruined my hunting, it's not my land so I don't feel like I have much say so in the matter. I'm pretty sure my cousin doesn't know, but I honestly don't know if he would care or not. He's not a hunter himself and we've never talked about stuff like that (why would we?). How he handles it will tell me all I need to know about whether I'll be going back next year or not. Since I don't have any other place to hunt, I'm not in a hurry to get my stand down. Season ends in a few weeks anyway so I may just leave it up until then.

  What bum knee? Where you see "knee brace" I see "tactical attachment point"

  It's both. My mother in law was home when a couple of punks came in on her and held her at gunpoint. They kicked in the door. Both the doorframe AND their wooden door failed. The striker plate broke out of the frame and the lock itself fell out of the splintered door. A steel door with a long (10" or more") striker plate to spread the force is a good setup. Better yet, one about 2' to 3' long with opening for both the latch and the deadbolt. If nothing else, at least get extra long screws for the striker plate. Usually the stock ones just get it into the door frame. You want to go through the door frame into the studs the frame is attached to.

Arise! zombie thread!   I need some advice. I think some ass wipe has just ruined the rest of my first-ever deer season.   I've been hunting some land that belongs to my cousin. There's another guy that hunts out there too (friend of my cousin). We've texted to make sure we're not going to be out there on the same days, but other than that I don't know the guy at all. The lot is about 150-200 yards wide and goes deep. I'm setup on the far right side and he's just left of center, so only about 50 yards from my stand. During another unsuccessful hunt today, we saw 2 big doe, but it's a wooded lot and we didn't have a good shooting position from where we set my stand. After a while, my hunting partner and I went walking to where we have seen the deer moving on 2 different hunts.  We found lots of tracks along some dirt bike trails so I think I know where I want to set my stand next year.   Anywhoo....as we were making our way back down the hill, we came out where the other guy's stand is setup. I found 2 large piles of pellets just 20 feet in front of his stand with a game cam aimed on them. That puts those piles just 50 yds from my stand. That means I'm done, right? The only way I can get >250yards away is to go all the way to the back of the property, but that means ascending and then descending a 150ft rise in terrain, and having to drag any deer out from there. No thanks.   I suppose all I can do now is go back and take my stand down. I think I'll do it the day before he goes out next and make as much noise as I possibly can.   1) Am I correct in what I've said above that I'm done? 2) Would you call TWRA? Tell the landowner? Send the master baiter a nasty text? Move on and call it a day?

Since you're trying to leave, it may not be worth the hassle, but if it were me and I was staying longer, I'd be replacing that wooden door with a steel one tomorrow.

Prices on TVs at Sam's and Costco are hard to beat.

  In court, not on the side of the road.       Dave's right on this one. A call from a citizen informant establishes PC as long as the facts being provided by the informant are within their direct knowledge (not hearsay, etc.) and no reasonable suspicion about the informant's reliability on that particular report is known.   That doesn't mean a good lawyer can't bring up the unlawful search though, and I think JayC may be right about shutting up and adding to the chances of getting the search tossed out.     1351n says we have to present the permit at the request of an officer. It doesn't say that we have to disclose if we're carrying or not. I wouldn't think that having a permit establishes PC to think a person is carrying anymore than having a Drivers License is PC to think a person is driving a car.

I thought a deal was struck where Agnew would resign, the broadly acceptable Ford would be appointed VP, then Nixon would resign. I see now that, while that's what happened, the why and the timing is different.   I stand corrected.

  Time for Dolo to get busy on that mill and make one of these. Monkey Cannon!   http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=113581735
