Help Me Legalize Semiauto Rifle Big Game Hunting In Pennsylvania
Growing up in PA and go back yearly for the deer season opener i can't say that I'm missing out by not being able to use a semi-auto. I think it would be better now than 15 years ago since the opening morning hunting pressure seems to be lower, but I don't think that it is something that is...- tim629

Reagan airport crash 1/29/25
from one youtube video i saw it was similar to what BenP said of seeing one plane but not the correct plane The video posted showed how the 2 planes cleared to land were lined up so he is suspecting that when the blackhawk pilot was asking & confirming visual separation he was seeing plane #2...- tim629

Chukar Dog Injury
Good luck, i'll be curious to see what the find. Seems odd to go from healthy hunt to such a crash without any real trace of a reason. What pack did your friend have? we've been considering a sling just haven't bit the bullet yet, get a discount on ruffwear stuff, but don't want to buy that...- tim629

Pennsylvania Elk Tags
odds might get worse but they still aren't 0. JT posted the 2020 numbers so 173 tags. if you had 3K people applying since day one even if the herd grew to where they had 175 tags/year that is 17 years to get through max point holders. that means only those that started we'll say in the...- tim629

the weird thing is: they have a surplus of funds at the moment. I'm sure it is a way to secure more funds because they can but it is a goofy unnecessary money grab. i'm sure part of it is public perception, there are STILL people that are upset that the NR tag is 250, it should be...- tim629

bonus point, not preference point sorry about that. so the more years you enter the more times your name is in the hat. a lot of locals are upset because they have been putting in for 15-20years and haven't gotten drawn but someone will generally get drawn their first year. if it was a...- tim629

A sad day.
I agree with you, it's an unpopular opinion/hypothesis. Go west shoot an elk, quarter it, bring the head back, wife says no-taxidermy goes over the bank with the bones. I don't think the captive herds are 100% free of blame but I also don't think they are 100% to blame either. Backyard...- tim629

The PA game commission has been having some meetings recently and it seems as though yesterday they got into the elk discussion quite a bit. I think april is when things will get approved but I suspect everything i've been reading will be approved. Bull will become once in a lifetime for...- tim629

Newfoundland Moose
fair enough, put money away for the family vacation and put a bit away for family hunting trip too. I keep telling my wife that if she wants to go somewhere with one of my sisters or one of her friends, she knows she's more than welcome we'll figure it out. I always hope she'll take me but...- tim629

2024 College Football 🏈 Season starts tomorrow…. Yee Yee
It amazes me when people talk about allar going pro, I think he's a good player but he isn't coming out week after week playing championship football. It will be strange rooting for "The" Ohio State- tim629

you just have to get a relative on board, since dad wanted to go and it's a down payment now it won't hurt as bad in 2 years. it is putting into jeopardy a trip to Philmont with my best friend and both of his sons but I like the elevation of newfoundland better than NM so if it cuts out one...- tim629

I'm going PSU & OSU for the final game. I haven't watched much football this year so no clue if it will happen, but would be fun to let it come down to the big 10- tim629

Horse news
the interesting thing with the wild horses I would say over 80% (maybe even 90% but being conservative) of people who have adopted mustangs agree with them needing to be managed in some form or fashion. Obviously most of the people won't come out and publicly say that if they need to be hunted...- tim629
