We're headed to New Zealand in about 3 weeks.. wife will be chasing tahr.. if time permits, I'll go for a red stag.. South Africa in September to attend a PH course.. while there we'll also do a little hunting.. probably a few culls to donate meat to a local orphanage we support, and maybe a...

You guys are way off the mark on American culture heros… George Floyd Trayvon Martin Colin Kapernick Dylan Mulvaney Lia Thomas These are the people the media and our politicians tell us we should emulate and herald…

I think you have several problems with a DC show.. While it would be good (potentially) for political exposure.. it would be terrible for exhibitors I think.. People hate DC far more than they hate Atlanta as a general rule.. Its congested, with horrible traffic.. the hotels and restaurants in...

at about 17 minutes he states that Kay Bailey still plans to be demolished and be unavailable after the World Cup... That is absolutely untrue.. SCI has already booked TTHA at Kay Bailey through 2030.. my understanding is they NEVER said they were demolishing the current facility.. they are...

Policy, yes.. I could agree with that.. Signal is a reasonably secure resource (at least more secure than telegram, WhatsApp, and most of its common competitors).. Im not sure what this group was talking about was strictly a matter of policy though...

We're saying the same thing... Gabbard and Vance both would be aware of NIPR, SIPR, and other less known systems that are in place for the sharing of sensitive information.. in their positions in the military (even with Vance being a low ranking enlisted guy and Gabbard being an MP guardsman)...

The right wing press seems to be speculating that Waltz is at fault and that his head might roll soon over it..

The guy at the Atlantic is a well established Trump Administrator hater… he’s feigning like he’s been a do gooder in this affair… he is not.. there’s no way he wasn’t going to purposefully take advantage of this opportunity when it fell like mana from heaven into his lap… Which leads me back to...

The stink definitely isn’t on the journalist… The only question I have is whether this was an intentional act (clearly a stupid one… whatever positive purpose intended has clearly backfired)… or it was an accidental act (also clearly stupid.. since there are far better tools at the disposal of...

I’m going to add a caveat… We need critter clubs that demonstrate integrity, honesty, transparency, and a commitment to the things we provide them money and time to support.. We don’t need another Wayne LaPierre run NRA… if Wayne’s in charge I’ll divert my money and time to organizations more...

Like most things, there is culpability on all sides.. How Canada managed the past couple of decades is reprehensible on the defense front.. And the tactics now being employed by the US to try to get Canada to comply with its commitment leaves a lot to be desired.. I just find it amazing...

What country? What are the target species? and if you find a new outfitter, will anything you've done so far be transferrable? or are you starting back at square one? For what its worth, a good friend of mine owns a farm just a few miles down the road from Wytheville.. his son does quite a bit...

Dallas and Houston are about equally bad honestly in terms of being spread out.. Houston metro is +/- 10,000 Sq Miles.. Dallas metro is 9,300... but DFW is growing north and west at a faster rate than Houston is growing "outward".. give it just 5-10 more years and they'll be identical in land...

I think everything that is driving the NATO discussion was stated in the first 60 seconds of that video.. NATO wants to complain about the US saying it wont protect it in accordance with Article 5.. But has over and over and over again failed to meet its obligation to spend the agreed amount...

Im not convinced this wasnt done on purpose.. (who knows what that purpose would be).. Signal/Whatsapp/telegram/etc isn't how classified information is shared among defense (and other) government officials.. even at the lowest level.. there are multiple govt systems in place where "chat...

taking a short anytime between about Dec 15-30th was a smart move.. anyone watching the market knew that ALL stocks were going to fall and all the silliness associated with Musk was going to have a short term negative impact.. and at that point there had been 3+ months of explosive gains that...

Which also points to what Elon has said time and time again (and his actions have proven this to be true as well).. Its no longer about money... He could give two damns if he never made another penny... he has enough in liquid assets that he could literally never spend in multiple...

Tesla stock and all of the associated outrage is much ado about nothing.. Its merely a time to buy.. Tesla isn't going away.. in a year those who are buying right now will make a small fortune.. On Sept 24th, 2024 Tesla was trading at $254 a share.. Today, exactly 6 months later... its...

It looks like GRB just announced a huge $2B renovation of their own that's planned.. Thats going to make things even more interesting.. https://www.houston.org/news/george-r-brown-convention-centers-2-billion-transformation-project It appears to be also driven by the FIFA world Cup and the...

Ive got a feeling that if TTHA is successful this year, SCI will engage KBH for 2031 and lock down a show in the second week of January, and have a clause added to the contract that gives me first right of refusal for the first half of January on a rolling 5 year basis every year after that...

I like Houston ok.. I dont think I would spend 3-4 days there to see the show, but I think most in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, etc would probably be willing to make the drive, overnight for a single night, and spend the day on the floor looking around on a Saturday or a Sunday.. Depending on...

I hope so... and think its got potential... but I also question how successful it will be... (although I am keeping my fingers crossed for DSC that it will be successful). mid summer isn't a good time for outfitters for obvious reasons.. for the same reason it can be difficult for hunters as...

Sadly the same is largely true of the entire western world... go to any beach during university holiday.. whether its somewhere in Australia, the south of France, Spain, or the US... you'll get the same version of idiot.. just with different accents and word choices..

The real question for me is.. how is Houston being negotiated? Is this in conjunction with or aligned with HSC (as has been rumored)? or in conflict/competition with HSC? Neither is a wrong answer (IMO).. but it does change the dynamic of a show in Houston depending on how things are...

Stimulus get paid by someone.. they aren’t free… Short sighted indeed… Canadas debt to GDP ratio is already one hundred and seven %… it doesnt have the economy to do much of anything.. whether we are talking about improving defense spending, or going toe to toe with the US in a trade war, much...

The rigby cartridge was developed in nineteen eleven, and the company built the first double in that chambering in nineteen twelve… so historically it’s entirely possible a guy that was hunting in Africa in nineteen twenty three could be using one..

I do t worry about price much. I reload.. so for me its availability of components..

I dont know... that article suggests that he actually expand the lower courts though rather than eliminate any.. there have been bi-partisan studies that advocate for this.. the federal courts are understaffed and incapable of hearing their case loads in a reasonable amount of time.. so, add...

How they ended up with F5's to begin with is a pretty interesting story involving several countries and Carter bypassing congressional approval to make it happen (sent to Yemen initially, later taken by the Hourthis)...

https://instapundit.substack.com/p/trump-and-the-lower-courts?r=9bg2k&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true a reasonable article written by a law professor that has practiced in the criminal courts on how Trump should take on these lower courts and their rulings.. (worth the 5...

Richard Cooper is clearly a masochist lol..

the state lottery pays for quite a bit in TN (education, etc).. and TN has a particularly high sales tax that makes up for much of what isn't collected through an income tax.. (I lived in West TN for 30 years, and East TN for 10 years at different times... its a wonderful state for a number of...

The lefts sacred cow to be sacrificed today https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-sign-order-shut-down-department-education-white-house-says-2025-03-19/ I’m 100% certain an Obama or Biden appointed judge will find a way to halt this one.. But the gauntlet is now thrown…

according to @SFRanger7GP a proper Gin & Tonic is made by allowing a full glass of gin to see a bottle of tonic water, but only for a moment.. you're not allowed to put any tonic in the gin... bitters arent allowed either.. nor is a slice of lime.. :D
