I can really relate to your feelings on this. On the subject that this is a game amongst lawyers, I totally agree. Who can game the the best. Argue semantics. Twist words. Falsify evidence. The list goes on. It's definitely not about justice, just wins and losses amongst what may be the most narcissistic of all trades.
However, I cannot agree about abolishing the death penalty. Especially when the crime is heinous and the evidence incontrovertible. When you have criminals released in record numbers now days, there is no such thing as life without parole. Take dude in Denver the other day. I'll flip that switch gladly. I like what Ron White said about Texas... "you kill someone here and we'll kill you right back..." And apparently, they have an expressway. Seriously though, do it right, do it quick and do it in enough volume, you'll solve all kinds of social ills. No recidivism, prison costs way down, less welfare, less crime... and etc.
I do respect your opinion on this, I just have to disagree.
I knew I was going to vote for 43 before he ever ran for president. When he was governor of Texas, they executed a guy and it turned out that, because he was from Canada, he could have gotten more appeals. A reporter asked W what it said to Canadiens. W said "Don't come to Texas and kill people".
 
Maybe instead of posting page after page from your fap bank you could start your own fapping forum. You may want to read the thread at the top of the bear pit titled "Sniper's Hide Community Update". Below is one of Frank's posts in that thread. By posting endless pages of fapping material, many of which have already been posted 2 or 3 times it's just a waste of bandwidth.

Hosting Images takes up server space and causes big chunks of data to be transferred back and forth, that server space and those chunks of data cost money... in fact, they ARE the costs, we are well over $1000s of dollars a month to pay for the servers.

Still, you want me to cover the costs of HOSTING YOUR IMAGES?

I can see about upping the quota for paying members, but honestly, this is pretty pathetic you think I should be hosting your images for free. (I get it, you said you would pay a "small fee" but the reality is you won't, we have too many examples of the membership doing everything humanly possible to steal from me vs volunteering to pay their fair share. too many, I am not a business selling on here, too many members using this as their personal pawnshops never returning the favor or paying back for what they take. I have been warning forever...

I covered the costs of this site for 8 years 100% out of my pocket, when I attempted to monetize you complained. I opened the door for more and more and you still took advantage, I warned and warned over and over...

Well now the changes to my investment are happening and it will fundamentally change this site, if you don't like it, the door is that way...but since you never took me serious before I doubt you will now, so do what you want

Host your own images, the loss of information is your problem not mine

He is not a reader per a pm and he doesn't seem to care.
 
Why would you have TWO boxes of Special K on the counter. Put one of them in the pantry!
There's baking powder and other baking ingredients up there on the counter as well.

My money is on she's being a good girl, baking some magic whilst getting preparing to be pile-driven.

If something bothers you....stay away from it!
 
Short answer, no. Giant boar like this are pretty gross. Piglets and small sows are pretty delicious though.

No shooting event gives me more pleasure than severing the brain stem on a feral hog. Male, female, young and old, no one gets a pass. Kill em all.

And I leave every one of them where they fall. Buzzards gotta eat too, same as worms.
 
@mgrs, ok, I will ask. Can you safely fire the rifle and if so do you have to be extra careful because of the age / composition of the metal?

I also have quite an old version as well. It is within the "this gun will blow up and take half of missouri with it" serial numbers. While I don't shoot it all the time I do shoot it.

IMHO this while it is true I think is greatly over blown.....get it. Really at this age I think it is no more likely to go kaboom over any other like age rifle provided you do not do something stupid.

And yes I have read it.
 
If they were delicious AND worth the trouble to harvest, gut, skin, butcher, clean, and cook, they would be as hard to find as legal sized walleyes in Wisconsin.
They are worth the trouble when you get a 50-150 pounder. The trouble is when you have lack of freezer space and the stench of rotting carcasses from the ones you left in the field. We started gut shooting them so that they don't fuck up Everybody's hunting areas. The buzzards are even getting picky now. I had 2 hog carcasses and a doe carcass in the bone pit opening day of bow season. Went to discard another hunters doe gut pile and my doe carcass was nothing but bones, nothing touched the hogs.

@Maxwell

Generally, I have no problem firing 100+ year old firearms within their limitations.

This particular one is more complicated. As a 1906 production Rock Island, it falls well into the "Low Serial Number" batch of M1903 rifles. These rifles were/are famous for receivers bursting and bolts shattering lugs at a high rate (dozens of documented instances). This tendency is attributed to the 'old school' way they were heat-treated prior to ~1918, which involved expert craftsmen eyeballing the process and relying on their judgement.

No one really had any problems with it, or noticed into circa 1917-1918 when a couple intersecting problems magnified it- wartime production increased throughput with less attention applied to each gun, and more sub contractors were making ammunition, resulting in a lower average ammunition quality.

When the Ordnance Dept went back and applied pyrometers and 'science', they figured out the old eyeballing process resulted in heat treat temps of +/- 300F. Some receivers were just too hard, and brittle, as a result.

These receivers will generally hold if used properly, but will often shatter if: subjected to chamber pressures in excess of 70 000 PSI, a case head fails, or the receiver is stuck laterally with something hard. I suppose they could also crack when being rebarreled, although this seems to be more of a problem with M1917 rifles.

Back to the pictured gun, I'd probably be OK shooting it, but certainly would not push anything harder than M2 ball spec. That receiver has survived two rebarrels without cracking- first when the barrel was pulled and re-chambered to -06 spec, then again when it was re-barreled prior to WW1. Additionally, it has a later (1919) bolt that would have the proper treat and therefore not shear lugs.
