  1. This bad decision was made by one of the “captive consumers”. Why didn’t the developer that encroached this ROW pay for bollards, because profit. Why should ET shareholders hold the bag when it could come from the person who caused it, or their insurance? lol, at “most”. I agree, but it’s sad that most isn’t all.
  2. Correct. This doesn’t have shit to do with being industry subsidies, or having a profitable year due to a Wx event, or holding bitchmade feelings of contempt about the success of the company. This is a math problem and I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time it’s been looked at. Capt, what you going to cry about when the bollard companies post the best income statements in their history?
  3. You diarrhea dumb thoughts constantly comrade, no need to put words in your mouth.
  4. But you don’t understand. They made 2B by being in a business at an opportune time from an event that they had no control over, once. They made money and it’s just not fair11!1!
  5. Sometimes you just got to move the box over to get it right. I’ve had to do it several times and not a huge deal.
  6. That particular turd. And some Taurus ones. But I won’t throw a stone, I’ve got an old mossberg 410 that used to live in a barn that I cleaned up and let the kids shoot.
  7. The orange plastic tips on the ends of the guns. Those are air soft, no? I understand the heightened threat past of the tweet, not so much the cache pics.
  8. Game cam pics was showing 109* yesterday at our place. That pork would start sizzling as soon as it hit the ground.
  9. Of fucking course. All this guys have made too much money. Propose an adder to the end user and this righteousness goes right the fuck away.
  10. About as much as the discussion hardening every pig trap and riser across America because clownworld.
  11. Fucking PHMSA and their lack of gaf about the safety or regulation of pipelines. It’s about time we demand this government run entity much more heavy handed. Someone needs to be held accountable for these subsidized freak accidents. Also, should we be burying lines anymore? I know you are required to do an 811, but imagine if someone excavated into one…
  12. Yes, we get it. It is subsidized and someone, somewhere is making a dollar so it’s evil. I’m sure the fine folks in those Deer Park neighborhoods never understood there’s 1,243,473 pipelines running thru the middle of their community - just totally hoodwinked and bamboozled by Big Oil and its oligarchs. I bet they were specially told there was no pipelines there - what an injustice. How long does it take to put on your clown makeup every day?
  13. one of the reviews on the site has them straight. The horns are smaller but it's at least been done.
  14. 12.7х99NATO, 12.7x108, 12.7x114“HL”, 14.5x114, 23x115mm Lulz.
  15. Been awhile since I looked at any R&M sheets, but I don’t recall hit by SUV being on any. Ymmv
  16. I don't either. I'm only stating what the ISD's released a few days later. There was additional police presence the first 2 days when all the local ISD's were getting threats. I can only hope they are running down where it originates and giving the perpetrator the scare of their life.
  17. QFMFT Bonus, very minimal ruined meat. My oldest (12 yo girl) shoots a heavy barreled custom .243. Very minimal recoil on that one.
  18. Montgomery county and Fort Bend last week. Nothing come of either threat. Apparently just fwd:fwd:fwd: text chains that got spread between thousands of kids.
  19. My searches these days are .222, .17 rem (not for deer), and .410/28 gauge sxs’s. When something really nice pops up, I snag it (lost a bid on a great bob a few weeks ago ). My collection of shoulder crushing wbys and other assorted magnums will have to collect dust until I can convince the wife we should do Africa. *note - I still love my .257wby more than anything else I own.
  20. I am in Coral Gables every few weeks. Amazing how much wealth hangs out in the restaurants and bars down there. Some of it gaudy, a whole not of it not
  21. 7-08 or 243 would be my choice. ‘06 ruining too much meat is stupid but I get it, their rules ((shot placements like EVERYTHING ELSE, being the key) center punch the shoulder with anything listed and let me know how much is not damaged)). The bigger knock on it, imo, would be potentially introducing bad habits into a new shooter - ‘06 takes some shoulder. I have no idea how big your son is, but my narrow ass wasn’t ready for the -06 I used as a child, and it took a lot of shooting to unfuck some of those habits later. Imo, there is still a felt difference between a 500/800/1500 gun, but that’s not to say there aren’t a TON of good options in the lower-middle range now that used to not exist. Get an $800 gun (Tikka/Bergara/etc) and put $750-1000 Leupold VX5 on it and keep for next 40 years. Personally I think you need a 243 (or 3) before a 7-08 but both have killed many, many, many deer. The kids on our lease all shoot 7-08’s, every last one of them. Eta: weight does factor into the cost, but not at that price point. Also, a “good weight” depends on what you’re going to be doing. Strictly mountain hunting elk on long stalks, people will pay huge $$ to save those ounces. A young kid that can hump around a slightly heavier rifle, not as big a consideration. A heavier rifle will generally help you reduce felt recoil, although there’s exceptions both ways.
  22. Had a very tough hunt Saturday. Beat the shit out of doing anything else though, so, no complaints. Pretty sure I drank every beer in Jim Wells county this weekend.
