Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
Update on the crowdsource effort for no ads on forums. I changed my own personal donation from $6 per month to 14.99
If anyone is interested in doing the 2.99 or 6.00 per month me me know. we currently have $40/100 from everyone who has chipped so far and if you chip in now your perks of zero ads will stay permanent even if we have to bring ads back after or if you are unable to keep donating later on.
If the site brings you value consider tossing some pocket change towards the site quality

@Typo-MAGAshiv My understanding is that the reciprocity is only in the validity of your hunter's education, not necessarily in the cost or terms of your license.
Each state is at liberty to charge non residents more for a hunting license if they wish and to impose different quarry restrictions and bag limits on them if they choose. In practise I think a lot depends on what they assess the surplus to be in a species. If the surplus is small then they will want to make sure the residents get their chance to have scarce tags or if its high they will take all the help they can get to get numbers down.

@Typo-MAGAshiv That's because you are a man who thinks outside the box. Why not keep your hearing and use it at the same time?
I find it hard to aim a moderated shotgun. I have a small single break barrel one in 0.410 with a long can on it just for deliberate shots at vermin. I have built up the receiver to be the same height as the moderator, so you can look along the moderator. It is about as quiet as an air rifle. I wear ear plugs or ear muffs with normal shotguns but my rifles are moderated.
I agree with the rest of your post for the most part, but this part wasn't true for me:
Bringing a girl to the gym is suicide. She only wants to go to inject herself into every aspect of your life. There is no way that she can be there and not make your work out worse.
If you're both doing your own workouts with an agreed-upon timeframe, then it's great.
My wife and I would train at the same time all the time back when work wasn't in the way. The only activity we did together was swimming laps. Weights were on our own.
Worked just fine.
This might be a good test for a bitch as to whether she's worthy of relationship upgrades. Take her with you. If she tries to interject and distract, she's not worthy. If she works out and leaves you to do your workout, then great!
@Kloi good move
From Roissy's Sixteen Commandments of Poon we have number 3:
You shall make your mission, not your woman, your priority
Forget all those romantic cliches of the leading man proclaiming his undying love for the woman who completes him. Despite whatever protestations to the contrary, women do not want to be “The One” or the center of a man’s existence. They in fact want to subordinate themselves to a worthy man’s life purpose, to help him achieve that purpose with their feminine support, and to follow the path he lays out. You must respect a woman’s integrity and not lie to her that she is “your everything”. She is not your everything, and if she is, she will soon not be anymore.
Americans are not that into moderators.
Never heard a suppressor called that! But each of my guns has one.
@SeasonedRP did you have reciprocity in other states?
From @First-light's post:
Hunters' education is a reciprocal thing where if you have one US state's education, you can buy a license in any US state, Canada and a number of other countries.
I haven't dealt with this myself, but I've had friends talking about some states being difficult to get permission to hunt in.
One recent colleague of mine and I were swapping stories of where we've seen the biggest deer, and I mentioned the many huge ones I saw in Iowa from a couple of different trips, he said that Iowa only issues a small number of licenses to non-residents per year, and that he's never successfully gotten one (random drawing or something like that).
I don't recall what other states were difficult for non-residents at the moment, but that one sticks out in my memory because I was surprised. I had expected them to want more hunters thinning those herds!
Read Moretrick perspective
What makes you say that? I'm on a small cell phone, so maybe there's something I'm not seeing.
However, if you've ever seen the TV show "I Survived", a significant number of the stories shared are about bear attacks.
many of them express amazement at just how humongous and powerful the bears are, with multiple occasions of variations of "its paw was bigger than my head" and "I'm over 200lbs, and it threw me around like a rag doll" and "I could feelc and hear my skull getting crushed in its jaws" being prevalent.
That paw is in line with the stories, as well as footage I've seen on nature shows.
I've never seen a bear in-person outside of a zoo, and I hope I never do.

@First-light When I did it ages ago, it was an all day course then you took a test. When they instituted the requirement, people born certain years and earlier didn't have to do it, and I missed it by two years I think. No field requirement, and test was pretty easy. Concealed carry on the other hand had a test at the range.
