Trail cam/cctv for capturing urban wildlife
The IR ones have an IR flash. It typically emits a bit of a glow, but nothing that really disturbs the wildlife. A person might notice it if they are looking at it, however.

02 Sensor Replacement
Two weeks ago on my 2007 4.6 Triton. I had to go all in and cut the wires on the old one so I could pull on the wires with pliers while just barely reaching the connector with the tips of my fingers.

Yeah, but they dropped 300 blk because it was for the Ar-15...just like the 350 legend.

They got rid of 300 BLK but still stocked 350 Legend.

A Lotto Trouble for Texas
If you spend 25 million on lotto tickets, can you count that as an expense on your income taxes?

Alec Baldwin Shoots and Kills Cinematographer, Wounds Director
I mean, if you actually search for articles that interviewed armorer immediately after the incident, they pretty much all said the same thing. It wasn't until after the spin machine got ahold of things that the narrative changed. Regardless, I don't think they should have charged him.

Like the national forests? Go while they're still there.
So, your working theory is that all of the people who work for the USFS, who went to college for forestry because they love nature and being in the forests and want to keep them forever because they are the best thing ever in their minds are just going to suddenly decide that sustainable management isn't really all that important and who cares if we lose our national forests that they have spent their whole lives trying to build? Did you actually read the executive order? Because they would all have to be complicit for your doomsday scenario to play out. As stated earlier, the choke point is our sawmill capacity. if we are running at full capacity, soliciting more bids for a supply of a natural resource without and increased demand for it will likely only lead to a slight increase in USFS land timber harvesting combined with a general decrease in the price of timber for private growers. Great for the sawmills, not good for private landowners growing timber. But the sky isn't actually falling. It's a stupid EO, but it isn't likely to lead to the doomsday scenario that it has been touted as.

I assume you mean the treeline in the background. They are mostly brown because shade intolerant species are generally self pruning once the canopy closure stage is reached. For the unfamiliar, this basically means that lower branches don't get enough sunlight once the trees in the stand grow tall enough to shade them out and they die. This is a pretty typical growth pattern for most conifers. Some of them are all brown because they aren't used to getting that much sunlight and are basically the tree version of sunburned. As far as natural old growth forest being uneven aged stands, that is a pretty sweeping statement, and generally a wrong one for a lot of if not most shade intolerant species. The natural succession for conifers (and some others) in the west is a catastrophic fire take out whole swaths of forest. But the trees are ready for that and have mechanisms to reestablish themselves after the fire. Some of them actually depend on fire to open up their cones and release seeds, so fire is necessary. Then a whole even aged stand of timber grows in place. Way too many tree by modern standards. We thin out trees and sell them for pulp in the south to reduce the number of stems per acre, but the USFS generally practices natural regeneration. The way that works is eventually the stronger trees choke out the weaker trees and the weaker ones die. In the south they make a snag and provide habitat for a lot of animals and bugs and stuff until they fall down and rot. In the west, they just kind of hang out and create fuel ladders until another fire sweeps through and starts the whole process over. Done properly, clear cutting mimics this natural process and instead of converting the wood into carbon dioxide, it sequesters it into the walls of the houses built out of it. Obviously done properly is key here, but do you really think a bunch of USFS employees who have dedicated their lives to growing sustainable forests because that is something they love are just gonna say screw it, let's just turn it all into a moonscape?

It's actually a legal mandate to sustainably manage the national forests. No executive order needed. They can increase production, but never decrease it legally. So it's kinda like stonks.

About the only place you'll find wild bobwhite in East Texas is deep in timber country where a stand has been clearcut and replanted a few years ago. That kind of management is actually pretty important for a lot of plant and animal communities in the south.

Except the 1907 is blowback operated.

The 1907 has so much cleaner lines.

I wish someone would make something like a Winchester 1907 in a pistol caliber. Not so much a fan of these modern carbines.

Of it is only a couple hundred feet across we shouldn't have something big enough to destroy it pretty easily.

U.S.S. Harry S Truman carrier collides with a merchant ship while preparing to enter the Suez Canal- supposedly no below waterline damage to either ship
Unless said surface ship had previously been a submarine.

How? Open Range is probably the best western to come out during those years.- Cowboy Boots
$200 merino wool...so pretty decent material priced like it is closer to premium material.- Cowboy Boots
I'd wear that around the house on a chilly evening or morning. I probably wouldn't pay what they are asking, and I somehow doubt it is made from quality materials, but I love some good western throwback stuff. - Great Western Movies
