  1. I'm a Sam Darnold fan. He went to the same college I went to and played quarterback there too. I played there but a long time ago, I played freshman football in 1959 when freshman had to play freshman sports per NCAA rules at that time.

    Tunnels2Towers is the only one that asks for $11.00 a month. I read that 93% goes to the wounded and disabled. 

    I give $25.00 per month to the Shriners Childrens Hospital. 100% go to the hospital.

  3. We have some here in SW Colorado. This is a fawn in my apple orchard several years ago. Saw a buck last week that had several big white spots on its side (over the ribs).  Didn't get a picture of it.

  4. Don't know about Canada, but it would be illegal in some states here. 

     

    There is a big move among some of the younger hunters who don't like the recoil of larger center fire hunting rifles, I am not one of them! IMHO there would be too many big game animals that were not lethally put down running around wounded and then lost. Also high velocity smaller bullets have a tendency to explode when they hit bone. I have a .22o Ackley Improved Swift that I tried hunting antelope with. The first one I shot was hit in the front shoulder and it exploded when it hit the shoulder bone. I had slowed my reloads down to about 3500 fps (from the 4,000 fps I shoot prairie dogs with) hoping this wouldn't happen. It destroyed almost both shoulders.

    i still got one of those handy little GI versions , 

    I also have one, it's the one I got in basic training in 1963 at Ft. Polk. I put it on my dog tag chain and I still have it.

  6. I live in SW Colorado and the bears here are not hibernating yet, I saw one yesterday. 

     

    I have shot a couple and ate them. I can take or leave bear meat. They have the flavor of what they are eating. Spring is one of the best times as they are feeding on grass and green plants. My friends in Alaska tell me that this is the only time they will eat bear meat, once they start feeding on salmon, they are pretty bad. 

    Attached is a photo my buddy sent me from Kodiak Island of a Kodiak Brown Bear. I sure as hell wouldn't want to meet it when it's mad.
