  1. Go to any hunting forum on the internet and you will find plenty of people bitching about wolves....It's mostly that there were no studies done before releasing them on the impact of the environment and no plan to manage them...Everyone points to Yellowstone as the study, but Yellowstone is not like any other forest in most of the west. It is pristine untouched wilderness, where as most of the places they release these wolves have farms, ranches, developments, timber cutting, etc...Actually, the timber cutting and roads for timber cutting gives wolves advantages in hunting ungulates they never had in the past before our ancestors killed them off. Trying to get a Liberal Federal Judge to allow a hunting season on them is damn near impossible and they reproduce like damn rabbits...
  2. I much prefer the typical hunter way over the dudes that constantly go to the shooting range with their AR's and pistols to burn up buckets of ammo. That's not to say everyone who owns an AR or pistol is a bad person with criminal intentions. I run into more of the AR/pistol owner type guys though in the gun range and especially the deserts out here in AZ that are very careless and wild with their guns and just seem to have a different mentality about gun ownership..I mean I buy a gun as a hunter hoping/ praying I would never have to use it to defend myself or my family against another human being..I think some of the AR/ pistol dudes dream about that though...I watched my dad struggle for years with PTSD from having to kill people in war, I don't want any part of that..
  3. There's a war on gun owners that are hunters all over the country. Look at the West, they are trying to re-introduce wolves all over the place and so far it has been disastrous for hunters...Herds of elk and deer have declined by the thousands in a lot of areas where they have been re-introduced...A lot of people think it's a ploy to get rid of guns. If there is no game to hunt, then why do you need a gun? I have no problem with gun control or even a little stricter gun control than we have now, but it seems like they are going after the wrong kind of gun owners, the low hanging fruit...I know many hunters that don't even own AR's nor care to own one because they are not really useful for hunting or they'd rather spend the money on a nice hunting rig..
  4. I never said none of it would be exported to other countries...My point is do you really think the US would not benefit from and receive some of this oil for having the pipeline running all the way across our land? Do you think if we did not benefit from it in some way if it were up and operational that our government could not step in and make it happen?
  5. Shipping the oil to China is just DEM politician talking points they've used for years now to get everyone against the Pipeline...Do you really think we would have this massive Pipeline built all the way across the US and only foreign countries would benefit from the oil in it?
  6. It's hard to quantify the damage done by shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline construction...You, me, or nobody else has any ideal how many fossil fuel development, and investment projects that pipeline could have led to in the future... What we do know is we are not anywhere close to meeting our energy needs with renewable energy, green options, etc...We are barely even putting a dent in it with renewables and won't be anywhere near meeting the demand for decades so why would Biden shutdown the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline when we could eventually get cheaper oil from our friendly neighbors instead of having to beg OPEC and Russia to increase production?
  7. Trump asked Opec to increase production to hurt Russia (same thing Reagan did), he didn't need to go crawling on his knees to beg them to make his administration look better...
  8. Fire most of the defensive staff and PK for sure. And, fire the strength and conditioning coach. Most of the players have no strength, endurance, speed, stamina etc. Recruit a real QB or get one by transfer...
  9. It was a great job setting Kyle free...A better job than calling very unpeaceful protests "peaceful" and not arresting protestors committing criminal acts at these "peaceful" protests...
  10. Where do you see he only ended up with 25K? He was sueing some of these news outlets like the Washington Post for 250 million dollars...You are saying they settled out of court for chump change? I've never read the exact figures he got, but saw an interview with himself and his lawyer they basically hinted that he is set for life.
  11. You're right. Concealed carry with lots of training is a better option...
  12. That Sandman kid made bank sueing news outlets for Slander...The kid with the MAGA hat that had the Indian pounding the drum in his face..CNN apparently did not learn the lesson and will probably hear from Kyle's lawyers..
  13. Had the government / Cops did their job, the whole situation probably could have been avoided altogether.. I mean it was a dumb concept also to let people say they were "peacefully protesting" back then when they were clearly looting, rioting, destroying businesses, and private property. They weren't as out of hand that specific night as they had been the nights before, but surely you can understand why people woild get frustrated enough to want to do something to try to protect their community when the government and police force were not? The whole situation was messed up honestly...
  14. Have you thought of the precedent it would set if they find someone guilty of murder, when the prosecution has so little evidence, has done so little to take away any doubt that this was not self defense? Even the witnesses they brought in did not really support the prosecutions argument and did not do enough to prove that the kid was doing anything other than defending himself. The video doesn't help much either.. Forget about ever trying to use the self defense argument in the future if you can be convicted based on public opinion and rumors...
  15. My point is, the prosecution didn't prove squat. They sure as heck did not prove he was there for anything other than to provide first aid and put out fires. That's what the jury has to base their verdict on, what they saw in the trial. Not what everyone in the media or social media says...
  16. A lot of young people died defending their communities from Tyrrany in the Revolutionary War that had just ended in 1783, just a few short years before the Constitution was signed..
  17. You might be right, Or, maybe, due to how our society works today, they fear the repurcussions of setting this kid free even if they feel he is not guilty, which should not be part of the decision making...
  18. I think our forefathers were all for 17 year old kids with guns protecting their communities and themselves when they wrote the 2nd admendment in the Constitution...In fact, situations like that were probably really fresh on their mind at the time they were writing it. Based on what I saw in the trial, I don't think the prosecution even came close to proving beyond a reasonable doubt this was anything other than self defense. Not sure what is taking the jury so long to come back with a verdict.
  19. Even in this day and age where there is violence on TV 24/7 that video was hard to watch...Not sure there is any punishment sufficient for that dude...How could she remain so calm through all of that? She should have bought a gun along with the camera...
  20. Im not saying all the issues would be immediately fixed, but BOOM running the D would be an immediate upgrade. That is almost a guarantee at this point...I'd feel more comfortable with his ability to find, recruit, and develop talent over PK, and also, run a defensive scheme that actually makes sense.. I'm not sure if Sark has all of those abilities, but he can dang sure design plays. If he can find some coaches he needs on O to scout, recruit, and develop talent, we could be back in business in 3 years..Maybe he already has those coaches on staff and all the team needs is an upgrade on D... Winning solves all other problems.
  21. Boom is the guy we need, and not just for the defense, he would have the whole team burning like a forest fire...When you don't have any leaders on the team, you need coaches like that to get the team motivated and pumped up... No matter what, PK has to go...He hasn't shown anything here to suggest he is good at his job...
  22. What background check? Some Big Cigar probably just said that is who we are getting after watching a couple of BAMA games. It seems like they don't put much thought or research into hiring football coaches once the first option turns them away..
  23. That's the problem. Are their any consistently good coaching staffs in the PAC? Petersen is good, I guess, but PK wasn't building his resume' against Petersen. I wonder how PK did against Leach when he coached in the PAC?
  24. No joke about Diaz, he had success here at first because he inherited some studs that were already developed. Once those guys were gone, the defense got worse and worse..Plus their was a beef between him and Akina, I think Akina wanted to run the Defense and was butthurt over it...Diaz was never really good...
  25. You are right, this is apparently no ordinary coaching job, maybe almost too big for anyone less than a Saban or Meyer or Mack in his prime type... Since Sark isn't getting fired anytime soon, maybe they should really just do their homework and hire a dang good fit at DC...If possible find someone whose strengths are Sark's weaknesses...If Sark is not a great motivator, and it seems he isn't, hire that type of coach for the defense that can come in get the entire team amped up...If Sark is soft and not good at being the bad guy, ballbreaker, etc hire that type of dude for the defense....I guess kind of make it a 2 man type job if one coach can't handle it...
