No. Its a good time to buy reamers and barrels. I heard someone had primers for $50/1000 recently. I am still working on 2008.

Since some folks seem to miss the point, they should just invest in a nice 3d printer and print some antlers. Then maybe spend more time clubbing baby seals and scamming senior citizens?

Depends on many factors and expectations, but I do know that $500 today will get something better than $1000 did 15 years ago. I have put $500 scopes side by side with $2500 scopes and optically the only thing I see is a different hue. The advantage of the higher price is durability...

Or a cheaper scope with a digiscope adapter? Or a really good friend who can sit near the target?

I bought a Pentax 80mm a dozen years ago, and still a great optic. I have directed helicopters on to animals from some number of miles (12?) with it. I look to the bird watching community for opinions on glass.

Rifle hunters need to be tested also. First, ask them if they have watched any "long range hunting" videos or forums? If they say yes, they are limited to a slug gun. If they think about holdover at 300 yards they have to hunt with a spear.

I think it is a shift in demographics. More than 40 years ago in hunters ed they warned how hunting in the future could become only available to the elite and wealthy......and here we are with $350,000 bull tags.

I think that's something with your computer adding a graphic file.

Well, the TPO application was withdrawn after I informed the Court I request it be reversed and would be filing my own. Some folks appear to be de-escalating (realizing) things. So I extended my offer to pay some or all of the vet bill, but also requested the TPO application be made part of...

Thank you, they are doing their jobs very well. I am a part of this community in a multitude of ways and I think I will be treated fairly.

My plan tomorrow is to have the judge reverse the TPO and make it them who are subject to it. I am feeling good about it, they are claiming some things happened that are physical impossibilities and I have the pictures to prove it. The dumb SOB stated in writing that I pulled the gun because...

The only thing that I can possibly see is something under animal cruelty, which includes things like abandoning, neglect, etc. So......we can go there I guess. I am leaning pretty heavily on 575.020, its been around a while in one form or another. I was actually trying to prevent the killing...

I did, its not my first armed confrontation, but certainly the closest I have come to a discharge. Its bringing up more than legal issues for me. This is literally city folk moving to a town of 500. What I did that precipitated this has been common practice for me (and probably you too) since...

Ag laws only apply to working dogs working, same with hunting dogs. I am going to be curious to see if signage means anything when the intent is to do bodily harm? I had to admit it, because it was pretty obvious, and that is another reason why it was justified and his reaction is the problem...
