  1. Seems to me that it would be really really cold on your face when you are walking around on the ice in the snowy wind in perpetual darkness.  Like damage your skin cold.

     

    Danvers mentioned her Tinder reached Fairbanks?  -19/-27/-33 the next 3 days in Fairbanks.  That is not safe to walk around in for hours.

     

    Othern that I'm going to keep watching to see where in the actual fuck this is going to end up.

    I absolutely sympathize with that.  I hunted between George West and Orange Grove for almost 15 years.  1,400 low-fenced acres.  We did all we could to manage the herd.  Shot the right deer at the right age and protein fed.  We shot a few freaks and saw some trash here and there, but we just didn't have the genetics to get anything above 160.  Still miss that place, though.  I miss hunting in South Texas.  

    Buddy just got onto a place in George West and was told by his oldtimer neighbor that the place would max around 150 for native genetics.  Sure enough they shot the biggest mature buck they had seen on cameras and it was 148.

    Moral of the story is that oldtimers know some things about some things.

    My wife calls to me from other rooms and I intentionally ignore her until she comes in the room I'm in.  She knows I'm ignoring her because I've told her I can't hear for shit so I only know she's making noise at me.  I used to try and listen, yell to her I can't hear her, she'd try 3 more times, and then I'd have to go where she is.  This works so much better.  

    The worst one is her knowing where I am, knowing I'm in the middle of shit, and calling me so that I have to stop what I'm doing, take off ear protection if in the garage, take off gloves if needed, and answer a call.  Instead of just walking where I am like I do for her.  That annoys the ever living shit out of me

    My wife has started calling my cell phone instead of yelling at me across the house.  She knows my phone is on me 99% of the time.

    It's the better of the 2 options for me so far.

    He is correct.  Shankworthy includes only paper or plastic disposable plates.  Kiddie plates are also acceptable.

    He might be correct but dont feed the animals.

    Was at Russell Korman yesterday getting a link taken out and BS a little with the sales lady.  The Rolex watches they have on display are not theirs.  They are rep watches from Rolex so customers can see different models.  They change them out frequently.  They do not have any in stock that you can purchase.  You get on a waiting list and pay retail whenever that comes in.  My 118 series day/date is trading at $34,600.  Plain rose gold/stainless date is $15,000.  Platinum chronograph $77,500.  They are waiting for their first shipment of preowned and reconditioned Rolex watches.  Told me Rolex is getting into this space in a big way and expects to dominate the resale game.  

    That bodes well for almost no one.

  6. Tikka superlite .270 with 130 grain Hornady

    Other group of guys we were with flanked this herd and pushed them towards the field we were sitting in.  They arrived about 200 yards out and stood at the edge of this pasture then started slowly walking our way.  I was able to identify the one I wanted and waited til I had a clear broadside shot, about 125 yards.  Shot was a little further back than perfect but it blew a big hole in the lungs.  After stumbling around for a WHILE he crumpled and started coughing up blood.  Then jumped up and I was commanded to shoot again.  That did the trick instantly.  Official time of death was 4:22pm.
